Oligocottus Maculosus

The roles of vision and olfaction in the homing mechanism of Oligocottus maculosus Girard are investigated in this present study. These were tested by studying the homing performance of displaced blind, anosmic, and normal individuals, and the home-site fidelity of replaced individuals. The study was conducted at a rocky beach near Port Renfrew, on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island, throughout 1968, 1969, and 1970. A significant reduction in. home-site fidelity was observed for blind and anosmic fish when compared with normal individuals, while no significant difference in fidelity was observed between them, indicating that both vision and olfaction are important components of home-site fidelity. From displacement experiments, blind fish are found to home belter than anosmic individuals, and on occasions they are equal in homing ability to normal fish. This indicates that vision may not be an important sensory channel in the homing of O. maculosus while olfaction may be. The homing mechanism is briefly discussed.

Homing Performance

The roles of olfaction and vision in the homing behaviour and orientation to a home site in Ulvaria subbifurcata were investigated. These were examined by studying the home-site fidelity and the homing performance of normal, blind, and anosmic fish and the orientation to the home site of normal and sensory-impaired fish. The orientation and homing experiments indicated that olfactory contact with the home site is involved in the steering mechanism in homing. The home-site fidelity of anosmic fish, and the fact that some anosmic fish homed, indicated that vision may also be involved in the recognition of a restricted area around the home site.

Females of a widespread species of the rock‐dwelling haplochromine cichlids of Lake Malawi, Maylandia zebra, show preference for males that successfully evict intruding males from their territory. This behaviour, experimentally induced by the investigators in a laboratory setting, was also preferred over males that were not permitted to interact with any other individual.

Periodic assessments of population status and trends to detect natural influences and human effects on coastal dolphin are often limited by lack of baseline information. Here, we investigated for the first time the site-fidelity patterns and estimated the population size of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) at the Tiber River estuary (central Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian Sea, Rome, Italy) between 2017 and 2020. We used photo-identification data and site-fidelity metrics to study the tendency of dolphins to remain in, or return to, the study area, and capture–recapture models to estimate the population abundance. In all, 347 unique individuals were identified. The hierarchical cluster analysis highlighted 3 clusters, labeled resident (individuals encountered at least five times, in three different months, over three distinct years; n = 42), part-time (individuals encountered at least on two occasions in a month, in at least two different years; n = 73), and transient (individuals encountered on more than one occasion, in more than 1 month, none of them in more than 1 year; n = 232), each characterized by site-fidelity metrics. Open POPAN modeling estimated a population size of 529 individuals (95% CI: 456–614), showing that the Capitoline (Roman) coastal area and nearby regions surrounding the Tiber River estuary represent an important, suitable habitat for bottlenose dolphins, despite their proximity to one of the major urban centers in the world (the city of Rome). Given the high number of individuals in the area and the presence of resident individuals with strong site fidelity, we suggest that conservation plans should not be focused only close to the Tiber River mouths but extended to cover a broader scale of area.

AbstractSurprisingly, little is known about basic life history of the largest moray eel species in the Caribbean region, the green moray eel (Gymnothorax funebris). Sixteen eels were captured from the mangrove fringe in multiple bays on St. Croix, USVI, implanted with coded acoustic transmitters, and their movements were tracked for up to 11 months using an array of 37 stationary acoustic receivers. They exhibited high site fidelity in the bays during their residence, using the same general parts of individual bays and did not switch bays except for one individual. There was no relationship between eel size (mean TL = 83 cm, range = 54–126 cm) and home range size (mean area of 95% KUD = 5.8 ha ± 0.7 SE). Most individuals were more frequently detected at night than during the day suggesting greater nocturnal activity. Several of the larger eels (mean TL = 93 cm ± 5.9 SE) showed clear and permanent emigration tracks out of the mangrove estuary to coral reef habitats offshore. For some individuals, these habitat shifts were preceded by exploratory movements away from the eel’s typical home range the night before emigration. All final emigration events took place nocturnally, happened during a single night, and occurred during months from December to May. Mean emigration speed was 3.4 km/h. This study is the first documentation of an ontogenetic habitat shift in moray eels, as well as the first determination of home range size for this species and their site fidelity in mangrove habitats.
