The paper shows wild jackdaws learn to tolerate juveniles to access food through a novel social information problem.

This study observes tandem running behavior in mating pairs of Asian dampwood termite, Hodotermopsis sjostedti, showing leader roles and coordination effects of dish size.

This study examines behavioural changes in Rana arvalis along a latitudinal gradient, finding reversed behavioural patterns between tadpole and froglet stages.

This study uses a liquid brain framework to show that ant foraging efficiency arises from a simple feedback mechanism modulated by two movement behaviors.

This study examines age- and estrous-dependent effects of psilocybin in rats, finding no long-term behavioral changes after adolescent exposure but differences in head twitch responses.

This study investigates how subjective and objective statistical structures influence perceptual predictions, finding that subjective experience primarily drives decision speed, while objective structure explains less variance.

The paper shows larger fish shoals in the wild better detect predator attacks while maintaining constant false alarms and faster decision times.

This study compares the behavioral responses of paradise fish and zebrafish in social and non-social tasks, finding that paradise fish show less social bias and more consistent behavior in individual-based assays.

The paper investigates how multidimensional predictive learning is distorted by spurious observations and shows how semantic inductive biases can mitigate these effects in human behavior.

This paper introduces hMFC, a Bayesian model to estimate slow decision criterion fluctuations from limited data, showing it improves accuracy over stable criterion assumptions.

This study shows that fiddler crabs use leg movement feedback for accurate distance measurement during navigation, which is robust to social interference.

The paper uses neural networks to analyze stress-like behaviors in cave and surface-dwelling Astyanax mexicanus, finding differences in freezing, bottom-dwelling, and hyperactivity.

The paper shows that human food subsidies increase cat populations on Mediterranean islands, leading to hyperpredation and declines in reptile populations.

This study identifies three kinematic states in Medaka fish swimming and shows how social information processing varies across these states, leading to coordinated group behavior.

This study shows that nighttime caffeine intake impairs inhibitory control in Drosophila, increasing motor impulsivity, with females more affected than males.

This study investigates how sex and age affect diurnal memory oscillations, circadian rhythms, and Per1 expression in mice, finding sex has a greater impact than age on circadian patterns and memory performance.

This study examines how microplastic exposure and heat affect bumblebee behavior, colony development, and social networks over one generation.

This study examines how chronic semaglutide treatment affects feeding behavior and metabolic adaptations in obese male mice, identifying stage-specific changes in weight loss and regain.

This study tracks behavioral plasticity in genetically identical fish clones over four weeks, finding an initial increase in plasticity before it decreases, challenging the expectation of decreasing plasticity in stable environments.

This study investigates how adhesion and injury cues influence the predation of blackworms by planarians, showing that adhesion prevents escape and injury cues may signal prey.

This study shows that Drosophila integrates positive and negative signals from bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) to make behavioral decisions.

This study identifies sex-specific differences in visually guided approach behavior during adolescence in mice, showing female adolescents show enhanced approach to visual motion but less aggression compared to males.

This study investigates the relationship between sleep and pregnancy in the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata, finding that sleep disruption during pregnancy affects embryo development and alters daily activity rhythms.

This study finds that Japanese macaques adjust their flight initiation distance based on a dominant's aggressiveness, not rank differences.

This study examines how nest attributes affect decision accuracy and speed in acorn ants, finding no effect on speed but increased accuracy with more attributes.

This paper introduces a Python-based model to study how family-based selection affects phenotypic variability in D. melanogaster, showing that it can increase variability more effectively than individual-based selection.

The paper investigates how phenological turnover affects trait-based predictions of plant-pollinator interactions by analyzing individual-level trait data from an Arctic community.

The paper examines group averaging in rodent locomotion, finding that ensemble-averaged distributions differ from individual ones due to population heterogeneity and proposing a reference rodent model for personalized comparison.

This study shows that higher temperatures increase the digging rate of ants but do not alter the shape of their nests.

The paper introduces vassi, a Python package for automated scoring of social interactions in animal groups, demonstrating its effectiveness on both benchmark and naturalistic datasets.
