Do Singing Rock Hyraxes Exploit Conspecific Calls to Gain Attention?
Signal detection theory predicts that signals directed at distant or busy receivers in noisy backgrounds will begin with an alert component, in order to draw attention. Instead of an alert component, however, animals could get the same effect by using an external stimulus. Here we combined observations of free-living rock hyraxes (Procavia capensis) with playback experiments to elucidate the ci...
متن کاملElaboration and Innervation of the Vibrissal System in the Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis).
Mammalian tactile hairs are commonly found on specific, restricted regions of the body, but Florida manatees represent a unique exception, exhibiting follicle-sinus complexes (FSCs, also known as vibrissae or tactile hairs) on their entire body. The orders Sirenia (including manatees and dugongs) and Hyracoidea (hyraxes) are thought to have diverged approximately 60 million years ago, yet hyrax...
متن کاملA MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR PROJECT PORTFOLIO SELECTION CONSIDERING AGGREGATE COMPLEXITY: A CASE STUDY
Existing project selection models do not consider the complexity of projects as a selection criterion, while their complexity may prolong the project duration and even result in its failure. In addition, existing models cannot formulate the aggregate complexity of the selected projects. The aggregated complexity is not always equal to summation of complexity of projects because of possible syne...
متن کاملبررسی تأثیر توجه تقسیم شده حاصل از درگیری شناختی بر عملکرد رانندگان افراد بالای 65 سال
Introduction: Driving is a complex task engaging high level of cognitive and motor processes. Adding to this complexity, engagement in cognitive secondary tasks such as talking with other passengers, speaking on the cell phone or listening to radio may effect driving performance. In addition, age-related cognitive limitations may adversely challenge driving performance. As the number of elderly...
متن کاملLate Sleeping Affects Sleep Duration and Body Mass Index in Adolescents
During adolescence, there is a tendency to sleep late and sleep less because of altered psychosocial and life-style changes. Recent studies have demonstrated the link between sleeping less and gaining weight in children, adolescents, and adults. We studied the effect of late sleeping and sleeping less on body mass index (BMI) in medical college freshmen. All participants were adolescents (104 m...
