This chapter describes the social behaviour of dogs, human-dog interactions, physical activity, movement, communication and sensory abilities, sexual and maternal behaviours, feeding behaviour and temperament.

This is a book about butterfly behaviour. Specifically, the behaviours associated with courtship rituals (described in Chapters 5 and 6) and mating and reproduction (described in Chapters 7 and 8). To understand the ways in which butterflies act as adults in search of mates, it is necessary to...

This chapter discusses sexual selection, sexual conflicts and identification of a potential mate, including the visual signals produced as a way of advertising their qualities to potential mates, the female and male Choice, as well as the role reversals (wherein the males are the choosiest in terms ...

This chapter discusses the colour vision, the structure of the compound eye, the light-gathering molecules, the three-colour and four-colour vision, and the hindsight of butterflies. In conclusion, butterflies have a remarkable array of photoreceptors, which give them a spectral sensitivity that is ...

This book presents the current knowledge on arthropod vision and the results of successful manipulations of arthropods. It also suggests new methods for using optical manipulation to protect against arthropod pests and to improve the performance of beneficial arthropods. Due to the applied nature...

This chapter provides information on the current knowledge on arthropod vision and the results of successful manipulations of arthropods. New methods for using optical manipulation to protect against arthropod pests and to improve the performance of beneficial arthropods are discussed. Developing...

This chapter focuses on visual mechanisms of some arthropod species of agricultural importance. Species from different orders such as Araneae, Blattodea, Mantodea, Hemiptera, Thysanoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, and Coleoptera are included.

This chapter deals with attracting beneficials such as predators, parasitoids and pollinators by visual attraction method using UV, blue or green light. Case studies of recruiting natural enemies are given. The few recent studies described in this chapter indicate that it is possible to recruit...
