Activity patterns of Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in the Central Mountains of Taiwan (2007, background): “Animals may adapt to changing daylength, weather and food supplies by altering their daily pattern of activity (Aschoff, 1964; Nielsen, 1983; Halle, 2000).”
Investigating animal activity patterns and temporal niche partitioning using camera‐trap data: challenges and opportunities (2017, background): “…processes of natural selection (Kronfeld-Schor and Dayan 2003), such as historic co-evolutionary competitive interactions (‘the ghost of competition past’, Connell 1980), but behavioural plasticity may allow flexible changes to activity patterns in response to environmental stimuli (Halle 2000).”
Why don't small snakes bask? Juvenile broad-headed snakes trade thermal benefits for safety (2005, background): “In several groups of mammals and insects, predation risk from diurnal birds may prevent activity during daylight hours (Speakman 1995, Halle 2000 ).”
On the move around the clock: correlates and determinants of cathemeral activity in wild redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus) (2003, background): “The activity patterns of many other taxa are similarly constrained and responsive to this fundamental trade-off between foraging benefits and predation risk (Metcalfe et al. 1999; Halle 2000a), and so lemurs should be no exception.”
