Visual conspecific cues will not help in pygmy bluetongue lizard translocations
Contributor(s):: Ebrahimi, Mehregan, Bull, C. Michael

Emergence and dispersal behaviour in domestic hens: effects of social rank and novelty of an outdoor area
Contributor(s):: Grigor, P. N., Hughes, B. O., Appleby, M. C.
Groups of laying hens, were placed in covered boxes with a feeder inside the box, 1 m outside the box, or 2 feeders, 1 inside and 1 out. The time taken for hens to emerge from the box was recorded. Hens emerged earlier when the feeder was outside rather than inside the box. Social rank within the...
