This study shows that in male mice, competition amplifies the impact of early life contingency, leading to divergent life trajectories, while this effect is absent in females.

This paper surveys animal behavior researchers to assess perceptions on animal emotions and consciousness, finding broad ascription to various taxa and optimism about future scientific progress.

This study compares epigenetic aging rates between lab-reared and rewilded mice, finding faster aging in rewilded mice with implications for environmental influences on aging.

This paper models how maternal care influences the evolution of long, slow life histories in mammals.

The paper examines how adult male primates influence infant behavior and proximity, showing that maternal early adversity affects infant-male interactions.
