MATRIX TYPE AFFECTS MOVEMENT BEHAVIOR OF A NEOTROPICAL UNDERSTORY FOREST BIRD

Fragmentation alters landscape structure and its relationship with organisms, where movement is one of the most affected processes.Movement choices are influenced by a cost and benefit evaluation, associated particularly to risks of predation and access to new resources.We analyzed the effect of matrix type on matrix-transfer success of a bird, Pyr

Abstract In honey bees and many other social insects, production of queens is a vital task, as colony fitness is dependent on queens.The factors considered by honey bee workers in selecting larvae to rear new queens during emergency queen rearing are poorly understood.Identifying these parameters is critical, both in an evolutionary and apicultural
