Abstract:
Olfactory behaviour in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has been studied extensively under laboratory and semi-natural conditions. Results of observations on aspects of the olfactory behaviour of a free-living population of rabbits are presented. To facilitate interpretation of these results, considerable preliminary information about the population was collected. The study was conducted over a three year period on the Isle of May off the east coast of Scotland. A total of 326 rabbits were trapped and marked to permit identification in the field, and data on sex, age and social stat

Abstract:
The European rabbit lives in defined social groups of between two and about twenty individuals. There are distinct social hierarchies within each group. Rabbits are known to scent-mark their environment with secretions from several glands, and the secretion of the submandibular cutaneous gland is strongly correlated with social status. Dominant, male rabbits have a higher secretory activity of the gland, and show much more scent-marking behaviour than do any other individuals within the social group. This study was principally conducted at Hope Farm, Cattai National Park in New South Wales, Au

Rabbits neither gathered in space nor time. The small warrens were spread out evenly across homogeneous patches and the females were well spaced out. Monogamy, distinguished by a battery of tests, was prevalent, with the more dominant males as 'mate' rabbits.

Abstract:
Patterns of dispersion of young wild rabbits, in relation to conspecifics and burrows, were studied in a wild population of young rabbits in a sand dune habitat. In general, no significant age-related changes in mean nearest-neighbour distances were observed. Although littermates were closer than expected by chance, young rabbits spent more time on the surface with non-related young than with a mixture of littermates and non-littermates. Nearest-adult distances were very close to those expected by chance. Unrelated young tended to diverge from each other when closer than 1m, but this effect wa

Abstract:
Pragmatics is the branch of linguistics that addresses the relationship between language and its external environment – in particular the communicative context. Social evolution (or sociobiology) is the branch of the biological sciences that studies the social behaviour of organisms, particularly with respect to the ecological and evolutionary forces with which it must interact. These two disciplines thus share a natural epistemic link, one that is concerned with the relationship between behaviour and the environment. There has, however, historically been no dialogue between them. This thesis

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterised by difficulties with social communication and interaction.

Meanwhile, clinical reports indicate that people with ASD face a range of difficulties in everyday functioning. However, very little experimental work has tried to elucidate how the postulated cognitive deficits in ASD might translate into difficulties

This doctoral thesis inductively explores the role of conventional social behaviour adopted by individual microfinance clients regarding their influence over their own collective success as a microcredit group. The collective credit in question is subject to an adaptation in Mexico of the Grameen Bank lending framework. An analysis is made on the close interplay between institutional rules, i.e. the repayment conditions imposed by the microfinance institution (henceforth MFI), and the emergent cooperation and penalisation mechanisms that are handled by clients themselves to meet their targets.

We tested three groups of 15 dogs, each group observed different behaviour of the UMO: mechanistic movement, non-social or social behaviour.

Social foraging behaviour has an important influence on individuals’ survival and reproduction through its role in the acquisition of food resources. It also determines the amount of foraging time required in differing environments, and so the amount of time available for other activities, such as socialising and resting, which have been implicated in an individual’s fitness, as well as the stability of the wider social group.

The actions of an autonomous agent are driven by its individual goals and its knowledge and beliefs about its environment. As agents can be assumed to be selfinterested, they strive to achieve their own interests and therefore their behaviour can sometimes be difficult to predict. However, some behaviour trends can be observed and used to predict the future behaviour of agents, based on their past behaviour. This is useful for agents to minimise the uncertainty of interactions and ensure more successful transactions. Furthermore, uncertainty can originate from malicious behaviour, in the form
