Personality and dominance shape core area use and territory-related signalling in a feral ungulate

The paper examines how personality and dominance affect core area use and territory-related signaling in Asian water buffalo.

Drivers of space use in a large semi-urban feral ungulate under seasonally fluctuating resource conditions

This study examines how feral water buffalo adjust their space use in response to seasonal resource changes and human factors in Hong Kong.

Reliability and precision of thermal imaging measurements to study animal behaviour and welfare

This study evaluates the reliability and precision of thermal imaging for measuring facial temperatures in goats, finding high repeatability and precision for mean and maximum temperatures but lower consistency over longer periods.

Adaptive behavioural strategies to seasonal challenges by a semi-urban feral ungulate

This study examines how semi-urban water buffalo adapt their behavior to seasonal changes, finding that seasonality affects physiology and spatial use, with differences by sex, age, and personality.

Many facets of self-directed behaviours in macaques

This study examines self-directed behaviours in macaques to understand their relationship with social dynamics and anxiety-like states, finding differential responses rather than a single anxiety dimension.

Personality assessment of synanthropic rhesus macaques: implications and challenges

This study assesses personality traits in synanthropic rhesus macaques using behavioral observations and novelty experiments, identifying sociability and cautiousness as repeatable traits with sex and provisioning method effects.

Despotism promotes cooperation through enhanced interdependencies in non-human primate societies

The paper investigates cooperation in macaque societies, finding that despotic societies exhibit higher within-group cooperation due to enhanced interdependencies.

Personality homophily drives female friendships in a feral ungulate

The paper investigates whether personality homophily drives friendships in female water buffalo, finding that lower differences in social tension and dominance traits correlate with closer spatial associations.
