Sentence examples for stimulus species from inspiring English sources

Some male behavioural responses, other than song, also showed significant differences between the different stimulus species and consistently differed across individual test subjects, with the most individual subject variation seen in choice trials between female conspecific and Bengalese finch stimuli.

Both groups served to clarify whether pigeons are perceptually able to discriminate both stimulus species within a sensory mode.

If pigeons reacted differently to both predators, depending on the stimulus species and not on the general context of predation, one could successively exclude crucial features of recognition.

Specifically, we investigated aggressive responses of territory holding males and females in two species of Neotropical cichlid fish, Amphilophus sagittae and Hypsophrys nicaraguensis, that differ in their phenotypic similarity to our allopatric stimulus species, Amphilophus astorquii.

As with other sensory stimuli, species vary in what stimuli trigger nociceptors.

Stimulation of HPA axis leads to the secretion of various hormones that regulates target genes [ 5, 6] and differentially affects the immune system and blood constituents with consequences that depend from the type of stimulus, the species, the sex, and the individual considered [ 7, 8].

The discussion is based on a recent study designed to identify regions in the monkey brain associated with perceiving auditory stimuli, and species-specific calls, in particular [Gil-da-Costa et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101 (2004) 17516 17521].

Indeed, higher-than-normal environmental concentrations of CO2 constitute an aversive stimulus for many species.

We observed a significant preference for orienting toward the face stimulus in both species.

In preliminary experiments, we identified an artificial stimulus for each species that resembled the temporal structure of the natural call and was as attractive as high quality recordings of natural calls, i.e. females responded with similar walking speed and accuracy of orientation to the synthetic stimulus and to natural calls.
