Propagule pressure plays an important role in species invasions (Groom, 2006). Charles Darwin was the first to study specific factors related to invasions of non-native species. In his research he identified that few members of the same genus were present in habitats containing naturalized non-indigenous species (Colautti et al., 2006).
A crab-eating macaque using a stone. Tool use by non-humans is a phenomenon in which a non-human animal uses any kind of tool in order to achieve a goal such as acquiring food and water, grooming, combat, defence, communication, recreation or construction.
Blattodea is an order of insects that contains cockroaches and termites. [2] Formerly, termites were considered a separate order, Isoptera, but genetic and molecular evidence suggests they evolved from within the cockroach lineage, cladistically making them cockroaches as well. [3]
Dunbar's number has become of interest in anthropology, evolutionary psychology, [12] statistics, and business management.For example, developers of social software are interested in it, as they need to know the size of social networks their software needs to take into account; and in the modern military, operational psychologists seek such data to support or refute policies related to ...
A 2016 study by Kumar et al. [13] chemically analyzed these secretions, concluding that they may be required in chemosensory mediated communication [14] and mate choice. Similarly, in the less aggressive herb-field mouse, males are observed to groom females for longer durations and even allow females to not reciprocate. [ 15 ]
Many lemur species, such as sifakas and the ring-tailed lemur, have scored lower on tests designed for monkeys while performing as well as monkeys on other tests. [ 17 ] [ 106 ] These comparisons may not be fair since lemurs prefer to manipulate objects with their mouths (rather than their hands) and only take interest in objects when in ...
Also, it is unknown whether there is a metastable vacuum state in string theory with a positive cosmological constant, [48] and it has been conjectured by Ulf Danielsson et al. that no such state exists. [49] This conjecture would not rule out other models of dark energy, such as quintessence, that could be compatible with string theory. [48]
The maximum number of points a school can earn in Science is 42. The student with the most wins in the history of the competition is Kieran Fitzgerald from Friendswood High School, who achieved the highest score in any division three years in a row: 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006.
