幼可以免费进入水和外出区域.
包括休息,追随,鼻,身体接触和水中游戏在内的行为被记录和分析.
行为在质量和数量上与自由生活的小狗进行了比较.

主要成果:

配对的幼每天进入水中,从2.5周大后的频率增加.
幼彼此表现出类似于那些自由生活的幼向母亲表现出的行为.
配对的幼比母幼互动中观察到的更多的身体接触,身体鼻子和水中游戏.
获取水和社交配对促进了典型的物种行为.

Parental Care

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Conservation of Small Populations

Conservation of Small Populations

Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Conservation of Declining Populations

Conservation of Declining Populations

Conservation of declining population focuses on ways of detecting, diagnosing, and halting a population decline. The approach uses methods to prevent populations from going extinct.
