This cooperative behavior requires that the individuals tolerate each other's presence at least for a certain time or under certain circumstances. In our study, we investigated the effects of ambient temperature and familiarity on the huddling behavior of two closely related mouse species, the mound-building mouse (Mus spicilegus) and the house mouse (Mus musculus musculus). While their geographic distribution overlaps, their social systems differ in many aspects. Whereas house mice are territorial, mound-building mice tolerate each other and live in groups during winter. In laboratory experiments we found that familiarity and ambient temperature influenced the huddling behavior of both species. Familiar individuals were more likely to huddle, but while mound-building mice did so at all temperatures, huddling in house mice increased with lower temperatures. Our results are consistent with the previous knowledge about these species’ social systems and might provide us with more details about their sociality. Investigating huddling behavior might be a good way to measure social tolerance between individuals within a species and compare social systems of different species. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {THERMOREGULATION; reproduction; Cage; Mus spicilegus; mound-building mice; Rodentia; FAMILIARITY; Muridae; Ambient temperature; house mouse; GROUND-SQUIRRELS; MUS-MUSCULUS-DOMESTICUS; SPICILEGUS; Mus musculus musculus; Huddling; Group formation}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1872-8308}, pages = {67-72}, orcid-numbers = {Altbäcker, Vilmos/0000-0001-7592-1232} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:3413570, title = {A güzüegér fészekanyag választásának ökológiai jelentősége és felhasználása laboratóriumi tartásban}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3413570}, author = {Nagy, Zsófia and Groó, Zita and Altbäcker, Vilmos}, booktitle = {XI.

However, ecosystem scale investigations on their abundance and dynamics are scarce because their high spatio-temporal heterogeneity requires huge sample size. Processing and identifying large number of individuals are extremely labour-intensive. We prototyped a device called EDAPHOLOG monitoring system that consists of (1) a probe that catches and detects microarthropods and estimates their body size; (2) a data logger transmitting data to a central data base; and (3) a Java application for retrieving data. We tested the device in three ways. First, we tested the precision and accuracy of detection and body size estimation of the device in the laboratory using microarthropods of five morphotypes: euedaphic Collembola, haired Collembola, scaled Collembola, Acari and Oribatida. Secondly, we compared the number of individuals collected by EDAPHOLOG traps, pitfall traps and soil extraction method in an alfalfa field. Thirdly, we deployed a total of 100 EDAPHOLOG probes in nine different habitats for over 3 months to demonstrate the applicability of the monitoring system. In the laboratory, EDAPHOLOG detected 95·6% of individuals; even the smallest morphotype (Oribatida, body size (mean ± SE): 0·58 ± 0·04 mm) was detected in 87·5% of cases. For body length estimation, we established a quadratic relationship between the estimated and measured body lengths; however, the R2 of the quadratic model was only 0·32. By comparing the three different sampling methods (EDAPHOLOG, pitfall traps and soil extraction), we concluded that EDAPHOLOG traps better select for soil microarthropods compared to classical pitfall traps, since the latter ones caught also many other arthropod species. Furthermore, the EDAPHOLOG traps caught more epigeic microarthropods and almost the same number of soil-dwelling euedaphic microarthropods as the numbers collected by soil extraction. During the 3-month-long field test, the total numbers of detected and captured individuals agreed very well, although the device tended to overestimate the number probably due to counting also some soil particles falling into the probe. This trend was the same regardless of the total number caught. Surface-dwelling epigeic and litter-dwelling hemiedaphic microarthropods dominated the samples although soil-dwelling euedaphic microarthropods were also caught. EDAPHOLOG is a novel device that consumes little power, rugged enough to operate in the field for extended periods of time, and can be remotely controlled. It detects surface- and soil-dwelling microarthropods real-time, and with high accuracy; however, it is less accurate to estimate body size. The system is especially suitable in field research focusing on temporal activity of microarthropods. Because it is non-invasive, studies requiring long-term monitoring, such as soil remediation or ecosystem restoration projects, will also find EDAPHOLOG useful. © 2016 British Ecological Society.}, keywords = {sensors; Acari; COLLEMBOLA; Pitfall traps; Trapping probes; Soil mesofauna; Real-time monitoring; Arthropod trapping}, year = {2017}, eissn = {2041-2096}, pages = {313-321}, orcid-numbers = {Kosztolányi, András/0000-0002-9109-5871; Gedeon, Csongor István/0000-0003-4027-2409} } @{MTMT:3117111, title = {Ismételt szárazság hatása egy homokpusztagyep talajlakó ízeltlábú mezofaunájára}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3117111}, author = {Flórián, Norbert and Groó, Zita and Dányi, László and Kröel-Dulay, György and Ónodi, Gábor and Dombos, Miklós}, booktitle = {Talajtani Vándorgyűlés: "Okszerű talajhasználat - Talajvédelem"}, unique-id = {3117111}, year = {2017}, pages = {61}, orcid-numbers = {Dányi, László/0000-0003-0646-2639; Ónodi, Gábor/0000-0003-4308-7997} } @{MTMT:3114086, title = {EDAPHOLOG monitorozó rendszer: talajlakó mikor - ízeltlábúak valós idejű, automatikus detektálása}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3114086}, author = {Dombos, Miklós and Flórián, Norbert and Groó, Zita and Dudás, Péter and Oláh, - Hambek Beáta}, booktitle = {Talajtani Vándorgyűlés: "Okszerű talajhasználat - Talajvédelem"}, unique-id = {3114086}, year = {2017}, pages = {29/2} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:30548922, title = {Ismételt aszály hatása talaj mezofauna közösségek szerkezetére egy homokpusztagyepen}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30548922}, author = {Flórián, Norbert and Groó, Zita and Kröel-Dulay, György and Ónodi, Gábor and Dányi, László and Dombos, Miklós}, booktitle = {6.
