Journal ArticleDOI
Ascription of resemblance of newborns by parents and nonrelatives
TL;DR: This article found that mothers are significantly more likely to ascribe resemblance to the domestic father than to themselves during in-hospital visits of newborns, and that this bias was exaggerated in the presence versus absence of domestic fathers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cost of sexual coercion and heterospecific sexual harassment on the fecundity of a host-specific, seed-eating insect ( Neacoryphus bicrucis )
Denson Kelly McLain,Ann E. Pratt +1 more
TL;DR: The laboratory results suggest that copulations following chases and grappling represent sexual harassment, not a mechanism of active female choice for a vigorous mate, as sexual harassment imposes high fitness costs that favor abandonment of host plants, it may, when misdirected, incidentally limit habitat use by ecologically similar species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The assessment game in sand fiddler crab contests for breeding burrows
TL;DR: The authors used the sequence of elements employed and the duration of unstaged, naturally occurring contests in a South Carolina salt marsh to evaluate three models of extended contests: (1) energetic war of attrition, (2) cumulative assessment and (3) sequential assessment).
Journal ArticleDOI
New pleistocene (Rancholabrean) vertebrate faunas from coastal Georgia
Richard C. Hulbert,Ann E. Pratt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, four new late Pleistocene faunas have been collected in Chatham County, Georgia, in the vicinity of Savannah, and about 75 percent of these taxa are reported for the first time as fossils from coastal Georgia.
Journal ArticleDOI
How dear is my enemy: Intruder-resident and resident-resident encounters in male sand fiddler crabs (Uca pugilator)
Ann E. Pratt,Denson Kelly McLain +1 more
TL;DR: Male sand fiddler crabs (Uca pugilator) defend territories that consist of a breeding burrow and a display area where they wave their claw to attract females by engaging in agonistic contests with both intruding males and with other territory-holding neighbors.
