Complex Food Webs Prevent Competitive Exclusion Amongst Producer Species

Dogs Have Their Day In Comparative Cancer Research
Dogs, it appears, are capable of much more than providing companionship to their owners, fetching the morning paper or serving as willing participants during an evening jog.

Primate vocal behaviour is often said to be biologically hard-wired. According to this idea, individuals produce calls from a limited repertoire, and mostly to evolutionarily important events, such as discovery of food or a predator.

Female Monkeys More Dominant In Groups With Relatively More Males
Female monkeys are more dominant when they live in groups with a higher percentage of males. This is caused by self-organisation. This surprising discovery was made by researchers at the University of Groningen.

Their findings will be published on July 16 in the open-access journal PLoS ONE.
