The level of aggression varied noticeably between pairs of females, with no interactions in six observations and five or more interactions in four observations (n = 50 interactions in total lasting 1.4 ± 0.3 min, where an interaction represented one or more consecutive aggressive behaviours separated by periods of non-aggressive behaviour).
One ray plunged below 1,400m on six consecutive days - behaviour that places these devil rays "right at the limit" of known diving behaviour, according to Dr Thorrold.
The net behaviour upon consecutive depositions is for a progressive formation of a more viscoelastic film with greater dampening characteristics.
In view of the special behaviour of consecutive reactions in a tubular reactor a fine tuning of the operating conditions remains necessary after this adjustment.
Using automated behavioural monitoring, a capillary feeding assay and pharmacological treatments, we examined the effect of dietary yeast and sucrose upon Drosophila sleep-wake behaviour for three consecutive days.
The ActiGraph accelerometer models GT1M, GT3X and GT3X + (Actigraph TM, LLC, Fort Walton Beach, FL, USA) are used to obtain detailed and objective information about daily PA and sedentary behaviour over seven consecutive days.
Geolocators (Biotrack Ltd: 20 × 9 × 5.5 mm; mass 1.5 2.4 g, approximately 0.3% of mean 450 g body mass), with saltwater-immersion logging capability, were deployed on and recovered from adult individuals, attached with custom-made darvic leg-rings, resulting in five consecutive years of recorded migratory behaviour (2009 2014).
The analysed sample (n=5146) comprising individuals with a new cancer diagnosis in waves 2 4 (n=433) and individuals with no cancer diagnosis in any wave (n=4173) and data on at least one health behaviour for three consecutive waves are shown in Table 1.
Comparisons between experimental groups were calculated with Kruskal-Wallis-test and accordingly between testing rounds with Wilcoxon-signed-rank-test. Sex differences were tested with Mann–Whitney-U-test. Spearman rank order correlations were used to test for consistency of behaviours in two consecutive tests, thereby avoiding the problem of mean level changes due to habituation.
Although differences in open-field locomotion were found, the decrease in locomotion over consecutive test sessions contradicts that this behaviour is (exclusively) mediated by fearfulness in the rabbit.
