Altered natal dispersal at the range periphery: The role of behavior, resources, and maternal conditionMerrick, Melissa J., Koprowski, John L. 01 1900 (has links)
Natal dispersal outcomes are an interplay between environmental conditions and individual phenotypes. Peripheral, isolated populations may experience altered environmental conditions and natal dispersal patterns that differ from populations in contiguous landscapes. We document nonphilopatric, sex-biased natal dispersal in an endangered small mammal, the Mt. Graham red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus grahamensis), restricted to a single mountain. Other North American red squirrel populations are shown to have sex-unbiased, philopatric natal dispersal. We ask what environmental and intrinsic factors may be driving this atypical natal dispersal pattern. We test for the influence of proximate factors and ultimate drivers of natal dispersal: habitat fragmentation, local population density, individual behavior traits, inbreeding avoidance, competition for mates, and competition for resources, allowing us to better understand altered natal dispersal patterns at the periphery of a species' range. A juvenile squirrel's body condition and its mother's mass in spring (a reflection of her intrinsic quality and territory quality) contribute to individual behavioral tendencies for movement and exploration. Resources, behavior, and body condition have the strongest influence on natal dispersal distance, but affect males and females differently. Male natal dispersal distance is positively influenced by its mother's spring body mass and individual tendency for movement; female natal dispersal distance is negatively influenced by its mother's spring body mass and positively influenced by individual tendency for movement. An apparent feedback between environmental variables and subsequent juvenile behavioral state contributes to an altered natal dispersal pattern in a peripheral population, highlighting the importance of studying ecological processes at the both range center and periphery of species' distributions.

Neurochemical Levels Correlate with Population Level Differences in Social Structure and Individual Behavior in the Polyphenic Spider, <em>Anelosimus studiosus</em>.Price, Jennifer Bryson 18 December 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Anelosimus studiosus is a socially polyphenic spider. Individuals can be classified as social/tolerant or solitary/aggressive. These behavioral differences are associated with considerable variation in social structure. Here, we begin to examine the physiological differences that may underlie the behavioral dimorphism in this species and possible implications for the evolution of sociality. Octopamine is a neurotransmitter that has been found to elevate aggression in invertebrates. Serotonin has been shown, in some cases, to interact antagonistically with octopamine. We used High Pressure Liquid Chromatography with Electrochemical Detection to quantify levels of these neurochemicals among adult females from social (multi-female) and solitary (single-female) webs in east Tennessee. A subset of spiders was scored for individual social tendency. We found that higher octopamine levels are associated with a greater degree of aggression and intolerance, both at the individual level and the population level, while higher levels of serotonin are found in multi-female colonies and social individuals.

Previous issue date: 2009-09-03 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / There are few studies in Brazil that comprise the theme of
behavioral phenotypes in people with genetic syndromes. The knowledge of behavioral patterns associated with such syndromes contributes to the planning of standardized therapeutic assessment, intervention and handling strategies, and for an improvement in assistance practices. This study presents three genetic syndromes, which have as their common behavioral phenotype the presence of mental retardation that is associated with
neurobiological, clinical, behavioral, social and psychiatric patterns specific to each of them. To describe and compare the major behavior patterns of children and adolescents with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) and Down Syndrome (DS). The sample consisted of 68 children and adolescents with diagnosis for the syndromes. From these subjects, 11 presented
cytogenetic-molecular diagnosis for PWS, 10 presented clinical and/or cytogeneticmolecular diagnosis for WBS, and 47 presented clinical and/or cytogenetic-molecular
diagnosis for DS. The Child Behavior Checklist for ages 1½ 5 (CBCL/1½ 5) and the Child Behavior Checklist for ages 6-18 (CBCL/6 18) were used for data collection. The major results of the comparison between groups showed that, with
respect to behavior changes, the PWS group scored higher, followed by the WBS group and the DS group, respectively. The following main patterns were found: in PWS, Externalizing Problems, Social Problems, Thought Problems and Aggressive Behavior; in WBS, Social and Attention Problems; and in DS, Total Problems. Statistically
significant differences were also observed between some of this response patterns when groups paired by sex and age were compared (PWS-DS and WBS-DS).The changes found mainly in groups with PWS and WBS interfere considerably with the social adjustment of these children and adolescents. If these changes are not treated, they may result in the development of risk factors for several psychiatric comorbidities tending to chronicity. Therefore, it is necessary to implement public health services for the care of behavioral changes and to help families to deal with these groups of children and adolescents. / No Brasil, são poucos os estudos que abrangem a temática dos
fenótipos comportamentais em pessoas com síndromes genéticas. O conhecimento de padrões comportamentais associados a tais síndromes contribui para o planejamento de
estratégias de avaliação, intervenção e manejo terapêutico padronizados, e para uma melhoria das práticas assistenciais. Este estudo apresenta três síndromes genéticas cujo fenótipo comportamental comum é a presença da deficiência mental que se associa a padrões neurobiológicos, clínicos, comportamentais, sociais e psiquiátricos específicos
a cada uma delas. Descrever e comparar os principais padrões de comportamento de crianças e adolescentes com Síndrome de Prader-Willi (SPW), Síndrome de Williams-Beuren (SWB) e Síndrome de Down (SD). A amostra foi composta por 68 crianças e adolescentes com diagnóstico para as síndromes. Desses participantes, 11 apresentavam diagnóstico citogenético-molecular para a SPW, 10 apresentavam diagnóstico clínico e/ou citogenético-molecular para a SWB, e 47 apresentavam diagnóstico clínico e/ou citogenético-molecular para a SD. Para a coleta de dados, utilizaram-se o Inventário dos Comportamentos de Crianças de 1½ a 5 anos (CBCL/1½ 5) e o Inventário dos Comportamentos de Crianças e Adolescentes de 6 a 18 anos (CBCL/6 18). Os principais resultados da comparação entre os grupos mostraram que, em relação a alterações de comportamento, o grupo com SPW obteve as maiores pontuações, seguido pelo grupo com SWB e pelo grupo com SD, respectivamente. Os principais padrões encontrados foram: Na SPW, problemas externalizantes, problemas sociais, problemas de pensamento e comportamento agressivo; na SWB, problemas sociais e de atenção; e, na SD, problemas totais. Observaram-se, ainda, diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre alguns desses padrões de resposta quando se compararam os grupos pareados por sexo e idade (SPW-SD e SWB-SD). As alterações encontradas principalmente nos grupos com SPW e SWB interferem de maneira considerável na adaptação social dessas crianças e adolescentes. Se essas alterações não forem tratadas, poderão configurar o desenvolvimento de fatores de risco para diversas comorbidades psiquiátricas com tendência à cronicidade. Por isso, fazem-se necessários a
implementação de serviços públicos de saúde para o cuidado das alterações comportamentais e o auxílio do manejo familiar desses grupos de crianças e adolescentes.
