The aim of research was the assessent of the hygienic behaviour of worker bees. The hygienic behaviour was assessed by means of two test types: the traditional needle test and a test proposed by the authors that consisted in measuring the removal rate of cardboard pieces. The experiments were conducted over three seasons and comprised a total number of 60 colonies. It was proved that the cardboard removal test may replace the needle test in the selection process of bees resistant to brood diseases, but primarily in those bees that have a good expression of hygienic behaviour. The best test results are to be expected in tests which last for 24 hours.

We tested whether species-specific behavioral traits could explain patterns of habitat patch occupancy by five different squirrel species in Ontario, Canada: the northern and southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus and Glaucomys volans), the North American red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), the eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), and the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Flying squirrel species exhibit group nesting in winter, which may put them at risk of extirpation in small patches with few individuals to contribute to group nests. Flying squirrels are also volant, potentially making non-treed matrix a barrier. Our surveys revealed that G. sabrinus was most likely to occur in large patches that were embedded in landscapes with low connectivity, and least likely to occur in small patches in highly connected landscapes. Conversely, G. volans was most likely to occur in large, well-connected patches and least likely to occur in small, unconnected patches. Patch occupancy by the cursorial squirrels was not strongly influenced by patch area or isolation. These findings reinforce previous studies suggesting that an understanding of species-specific traits such as behavior is an important consideration when interpreting habitat fragmentation effects.

Behaviors of the corvids towards common buzzard Buteo buteo on urban and extra-urban areas of the Mazowieckie Province. The study was based on observations of birds of the crow family (Corvidae) since May till November, during intensive training of a raptor common buzzard Buteo buteo on various areas – urban and extra-urban, of the Mazowieckie Province at various times of the day. A distinct difference was noted in the activity of the corvids depending on land development. In the study period, 305 birds were recorded, the majority of which (n = 276) were noted on the urban area, which constituted 91% of all birds observed in the entire study period. The evaluation was also significantly affected by day time. In the afternoon hours, the activity of birds towards common buzzard was significantly higher and reached 65% on average. A lower activity of the birds was observed on extra-urban areas where representatives of the crow family – Eurasian jay Garrulus glandarius and Eurasian magpie Pica pica – showed minimal interest in the bird of prey. They were undertaking individual attempts of scaring the raptor off, without intensive alerting signals and calling other individuals.

The aim of the paper was to answer the question of what message is conveyed by dogs exhibiting behaviour referred to as “nibbling” and what emotions are associated with this behaviour. The data for the analysis were obtained from owners who observed this type of behaviour in their dogs. In total 14 groups of animals were examined. Information was collected in the form of film recordings, which proved that the behaviour observed corresponded to that analyzed in the study. Additionally, information from the owners was used. It was observed that the ethology of nibbling in its primary, autochthonic form is related to maternal behaviour. However, since behaviour becomes detached from its biological roots in the process of ritualization, it has gained information-affiliation-consolation functions. Nibbling is not related to status in the social group or a dominant or submissive personality. It reflects highly positive emotions of one animal towards another, including humans, and constitutes a special form of communication that strengthens and creates emotional bonds regardless of animals’ place in the social group.

Among equestrians the “natural” training methods of horses are gaining widespread popularity due to their spectacular efficiency. Underlying philosophy of trainers - founders of different “natural horsemanship training” (NHT) schools, along with other not well documented statements includes argumentation of solely welfare- and human-friendly effects of NHT in the horse. The aim of this review was to screen scientific papers related to NHT to answer the question whether „natural” training methods may actually exert only positive effects upon equine mental state and human-horse relationship. It appears that NHT trainers may reduce stress and emotional tension and improve learning processes as they appropriately apply learning stimuli. Basing on revised literature it can be concluded that training is successful provided that [i] the strength of the aversive stimulus meets sensitivity of an individual horse, [ii] the aversive stimulus is terminated at a right moment to avoid the impression of punishment, and [iii] the animal is given enough time to assess its situation and make an independent decision in the form of adequate behavioural reaction.Neglecting any of these conditions may lead to substantial emotional problems, hyperactivity, or excessive fear in the horse-human relationship, regardless of the training method.However, we admit that the most successful NHT trainers reduce aversive stimulation to the minimum and that horses learn quicker with fear or stress reactions, apparently decreasing along with training process. Anyway, NHT should be acknowledged for absolutely positive role in pointing out the importance of proper stimulation in the schooling and welfare of horses.

During seven winter seasons (1993/1994-1999/2000) 107 roadside counts (28 km each) in agricultural area of south-western Poland were conducted. From among 1526 Buzzards, 1293 were recorded in winter months (November-February) and 233 in March. Birds were non-randomly distributed on nine vegetation types met along the transect route. Permanent papilionaceous crops, along with cereal stubbles, margin habitats, meadows and maize stubbles were preferentially used, whereas bare tillage and winter cereals were avoided. In general, Buzzards preferred habitats of the least amount in the studied area and avoided those which dominated. These data support the idea of high importance of small landscape structures for the biodiversity protection in intensively used farmland. During winter months, most Buzzards (59.5%) were perched when first sighted, most often on trees and in the middle part of their height. The percent of birds sitting on the ground amounted to 34.7%. The smallest amount of individuals (5.8%) was observed flying (flap-sailing, hovering and soaring), however this activity significantly increased in March (up to 17.1%). The significance of various hunting methods for wintering Buzzards is discussed. Even though it is a typical perch hunting raptor, the method of hunting from the ground seems to be particularly suitable for the conditions of winter farmland: common scarcity of perches, poor and low vegetation, local and temporary prey concentrations.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of relocation from a tie-stall barn to the facility with free-stall housing on adaptation of cows measured by behaviours latency and lenghts of the first episodes. Cows were observed at 10-min intervals for 48 hours after relocation on the first and second days. Second parity cows and non-pregnant cows lied down sooner than those in the first lactation and pregnant cows (532.2±274.6 min vs. 678.3±278.9 min; 588.5±237.0 min vs. 603.8±326.1 min). Primiparous and pregnant cows had shorter lying episodes following the relocation (25.0±12.9 min. vs. 51.4±31.8 min, P<0.001; 38.3±24.8 min vs. 46.0±35.8 min). Latencies for total lying (first time lying down regardless of which side cow lays) and lying on the left side were progressively shorter from the first milking session to the fourth milking session. Cows in second lactation and non-pregnant cows began ruminating sooner than cows in first lactation after the first and fourth milking sessions. The results of this study suggest that relocation may alter behavioural measures.However, behaviour after milking sessions observation indicate that older and non-pregnant cows are more able to adapt quickly to environmental change.

The stomach content of 74 wild boars harvested in the Zielonka Game Investigation Centre in 2005-2007 were analyzed. According to the hunting management schedule and the cycles of forest and farmland food occurrence, three research seasons were selected and compared with respect to the trophic behaviour of wild boar. As many authors claimed, the animals extraordinarily tended to eat mainly the feed supplied to the forest. Such a disruption in the natural use of the food niche in the forest environment, resulting from an irrational feeding policy, interferes with the natural trophic role of this species.
