“…La etología cuenta con distintos enfoques gracias a los aportes que han realizado diversos investigadores a lo largo de la historia, uno de los más célebres fue Konrad Lorenz, en honor a quien se nombra la Etología Lorenzana, que se refiere a un comportamiento bajo el prisma evolutivo de las especies. Estos enfoques a menudo hacen dudar a los científicos sobre nombrar sus investigaciones como Etología o como Biología comportamental (Taborsky, 2006).…”

El concepto de estrategia se toma como un camino que lleva al cumplimiento de objetivos y a alcanzar metas definidas que permiten a una persona o a un grupo sobrevivir y evolucionar en su espacio. Se ha definido a través de las disciplinas de la guerra, el mundo empresarial y el comportamiento de las personas. Existen estrategias para distintos escenarios en modelos económicos y empresariales, para ataques o defensas en tiempos de guerra, a fin de definir comportamientos de las personas y seducir. Pero también existe otro escenario en las estrategias, que presenta resultados de una forma despiadada e inclemente en que participan los demás integrantes del reino animal, además del ser humano. Para el presente proyecto se hizo un análisis de animales depredadores, su comportamiento y la utilización estratégica que hacen del ambiente donde están para cazar y sobrevivir. Estos comportamientos en determinadas especies requieren una elaboración más específica y una coordinación especial con miembros de la misma especie o con elementos en su hábitat, procedimientos y habilidades dignos de considerarse como “estrategias de cacería”, susceptibles de analizarse e interpretarse bajo el lente del marketing. En tal virtud se enseñan ejemplos de estrategias utilizadas por empresas que pueden ser comparables con las estrategias que utilizan algunos animales depredadores para cazar. A la vista de los resultados se concluye que la investigación en animales depredadores y sus estrategias para cazar puede ser una fuente enriquecedora para inspirar estrategias en las empresas.

“…These species are known as “capital breeding insects”, because large body size and reproduction of the adult are completely based on resources— or “capital”—accumulated during larval stages ( Jervis and Ferns 2004 ). Poor nutrition in early life stages has negative effects on many adult life-history characters such as survival, body size, and male characters involved in sexual selection (Jennions and Petrie 1997; Taborsky 2006 ; Andersen et al 2010). In carrion flies, natural food of the larval stage is nutritionally rich but ephemeral, limited, and patchy in distribution.…”

The objective of this research was to study variations in allometry of body characters in females and males of two populations of blow flies, Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), under different environmental conditions to establish patterns of morphological variation. Body size of both males and females in the experimental population was significantly higher than in the individuals of the natural population, indicating an important influence of food on body size. All genitalic and non-genitalic characters in males and females of the two populations showed a trend towards negative allometry rather than isometry. Allometric patterns were modified in both sexes and between populations. The data show generally larger allometric slopes in females than in males. We confirmed that the environmental conditions have an important effect on allometric patterns and body size.

“…Recalling Niko Tinbergen, a number of authors are now encouraging renewed interdisciplinary efforts in the analysis of behaviour (Linklater 2004; Taborsky 2006). Tinbergen considered that consideration of all four analytical levels informing behaviour – evolution, development, causation, and function – was necessary to create conceptual and methodological coherency (Tinbergen 1963).…”

How Elephants are Opening Doors: Developmental Neuroethology, Attachment and Social Context

Ethology

Ethology's renewed interest in developmental context coincides with recent insights from neurobiology and psychology on early attachment. Attachment and social learning are understood as fundamental mechanisms in development that shape core processes responsible for informing behaviour throughout a lifetime. Each field uniquely contributes to the creation of an integrated model and encourages dialogue between Tinbergen's four analytical levels: ethology in its underscoring of social systems of behaviour and context, psychology in its emphasis on socio‐affective attachment transactions, and neuroscience in its explication of the coupled development of brain and behaviour. We review the relationship between developmental context and behaviour outcome as a topic shared by the three disciplines, with a specific focus on underlying neuroethological mechanisms. This interdisciplinary convergence is illustrated through the example of abnormal behaviour in wild African elephants (Loxodonta africana) that has been systematically observed in human‐caused altered social contexts. Such disruptions impair normative socially mediated neuroendocrinological development leading to psychobiological dysregulation that expresses as non‐normative behaviour. Aberrant behaviour in wild elephants provides a critical field example of what has been established in ex situ and clinical studies but has been largely absent in wild populations: a concrete link between effects of human disturbance on social context, and short‐ and long‐term neuroethology. By so doing, it brings attention to the significant change in theories of behaviour that has been occurring across disciplines – namely, the merging of psychobiological and ethological perspectives into common, cross‐species, human inclusive models.
