The paper reports post-mortem infant-directed behaviors in wild Guinea baboons, finding that caretaking and cannibalism occur without evidence of a death concept.

This study compares phenological patterns of two bumble bee species, showing differences in colony growth strategies and reproductive timing in response to temperature.

This study shows that adolescent food insecurity in rats reduces gut signal sensitivity and increases cue-driven appetitive behaviors, potentially leading to overeating and weight gain.

This paper introduces a touchscreen-based spatial working memory task for marmosets and humans, showing that accuracy declines with longer delays and smaller spatial separations, and that these factors interact.

This study examines how early life adversity affects adult behavior in free-ranging rhesus macaques, finding that ELA correlates with increased aggression, reduced grooming, and submissive behaviors.

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster use wind history to guide olfactory search behavior, maintaining a short-term memory of wind conditions to navigate odor plumes.

This study shows that individual cocaine use patterns, not total intake, predict cue-induced relapse in rats under intermittent access conditions.

This study examines how honey bees, bumble bees, and mason bees respond behaviorally and reproductively to resource competition, finding species-specific compensatory strategies and reduced reproductive success.

This study examines heat stress in breeding king penguins through behavioral and physiological measurements, finding that heat stress is common and linked to reproductive failure.

This study shows that adult zebrafish benefit from group foraging through coordination and emotional buffering, while larvae do not, highlighting developmental differences in social behavior.

The paper introduces MBS, a multimodal scoring system to quantify depression-like severity in stressed mice, identifying resilient subpopulations and behavioral patterns across stress models.

This study examines long-term cognitive and bone health effects of low-dose helium ion exposure in rats, finding persistent neurobehavioral deficits and specific bone parameter changes.

The paper examines movement strategies of three mammal species across an urbanisation gradient, finding distinct behavioural adaptations that correlate with urban success.

This study shows that deleting the Nepl15 gene in Drosophila improves anti-aging and anti-obesity traits, with stronger effects in females than males.

The paper observes that Rusty Blackbirds exhibit predator satiation by remaining calm during simulated hawk attacks, with larger groups showing lower escape rates.

This study introduces a novel spatial transitive inference task for rats, showing they can rapidly infer relationships using schemas and exhibit deliberation behaviors.

This study shows that unpredictable prey motion affects bat sonar call behavior and delays transition to capture phase, suggesting adaptive strategies for information gathering.

This study finds that long-term urban exposure in red foxes is associated with greater exploration and problem-solving behaviors, while recent urban colonization does not significantly predict these traits.

The paper tests if personality traits influence dispersal and settlement in sticklebacks using a mesocosm experiment, finding a dispersal syndrome but no phenotype-environment correlations.

This study examines cheating behavior in coral reef cleaner fishes using standardized experiments, finding interspecific variation in interaction patterns and context-dependent behavioral responses.

This study examines how negative arousal in lambs is reflected in their vocalizations and physiological responses, finding that bodily activation correlates with call characteristics, while eye temperature changes depend on behavior and individual traits.

This study shows pancreatic cancer impairs adult hippocampal neurogenesis, leading to depressive-like behaviors through systemic inflammation and cytokine effects.

This paper examines within-laboratory replicability of spatial learning in pigs across 12 holeboard studies, finding robust and consistent results in spatial working memory and reference memory.

This study shows that arena size affects novel object recognition performance in juvenile and adult rats, with weight-based scaling improving consistency in juveniles and sex differences in adults.

This study examines Retatrutide's effects on learning and memory in diabetic rats, finding partial improvement in behavior and reduced hippocampal inflammation but no normalization of all memory measures.

This study shows that ants provide wound care based on pre-existing social and spatial proximity, identifying a transitional role between nurses and foragers.

This paper introduces a three-dimensional step selection function to analyze animal movement and habitat selection, demonstrating its application with Antarctic petrel data.

This study shows that 3-NPA induces neurodegeneration in adult zebrafish and that vitamin C, creatine, and melatonin mitigate HD-like behavioral issues.

The paper tests if sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure affects antipredator behavior in wild crickets and finds no consistent behavioral changes.
