These results provide the first behavioural demonstration of superior visuo-spatial ability in male horses, similar to that reported in other species.
Our results represent the first empirical demonstration of behavioural responses to MFA sonar by Z. cavirostris, the species that accounts for 69 percentt of recorded cetacean strandings associated with MFA sonar [ 5].
Functional use of objects —which requires the demonstration of consistent behavioural evidence of discrimination between at least two different objects consecutively.
The groups did not differ in their hand preference for writing, χ(2) = 2.62, p = 0.27, and the SLI group scored significantly lower on all behavioural tests but one (hand preference demonstration) relative to the sibling and typical groups.
Our behavioural results do provide a clear demonstration that a mutation in a circadian-related gene selectively influences the recall of some, but not all, forms of learned behaviour.
Additionally, this behavioural effect is corroborated by the demonstration that HCN blockade on cold-sensing neurons in vitro is able to increase the threshold of cold detection, thereby directly lowering the excitability of this subclass of nociceptors.
Instructional methods can be conceptualised in terms of three broad categories: (1) information-based methods (eg, didactic lecture), (2) demonstration-based methods (eg, behavioural modelling, videos) and (3) practice-based methods (eg, simulation, role playing).
The paper provides a demonstration of the role of behavioural factors in the apparently simple task of providing more information to energy-users on the assumption behaviour will change.
This is the first demonstration of stimulation of mouse behavioural activities by OEE.
This is to our knowledge the first demonstration that suppression of OSN activity is of fundamental behavioural, ecological and evolutionary significance.
