2011, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :This may have occurred because juvenile females were avoiding the intrusive behaviour of juvenile males and therefore preferentially associating with other juvenile females by default. When in the presence of males, female Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, preferentially form associations with other females, whereas when males are not present, females tend to avoid each other (Persuad & Galef 2003). In small-spotted catsharks, Scyliorhinus canicula, well-connected female networks remained stable despite introductions of new males into the group (Jacoby et al. 2010).
Female canary mate preferences: differential use of information from two types of male-male interaction
2008, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Second, hearing singing interactions provides females with a safe comparative assessment at a distance, whereas the close proximity to males necessary for visually observing male–male competitions for food could be costly for females (Otter & Ratcliffe 2005). When in proximity to males, females could undergo sexual harassment (Persaud & Galef 2003), could be frightened by intense male displays (Patricelli et al. 2002) or could be subjected to redirected aggression. The absence of a sexual function of threat displays and their harmfulness at close distances drives female canaries to avoid the more harmful individual, as male canaries avoid dominant males in subsequent competitions (Amy & Leboucher 2007).
Expanding the scope for social information use
2007, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :More recently, differences between species in the use of public information provided by conspecifics and heterospecifics (Coolen et al. 2003), and the responses of animals when public information and personal experience conflict (van Bergen et al. 2004) also have been addressed. In addition, public information use might provide a mechanism to explain nonrandom settlement, movement patterns and aggregative tendencies of individuals of the same or different species, phenomena that have been dubbed conspecific or heterospecific cueing, or habitat copying (Pruett-Jones 1992; Persaud & Galef 2003; Parejo et al. 2005). Two recent papers (Valone & Templeton 2002; Danchin et al. 2004) provide excellent reviews of these developments.
