Animal conservationists often move elephants between herds to improve biodiversity and group health, but what if the elephants don't speak the same language? Studies suggest that populations, even ...
Animal behavior analysis is a fundamental tool in various studies, ranging from basic neuroscience research to understanding the causes and treatments of diseases. It is widely applied not only in ...
A friend of mine recently sent me a beautiful and moving photo essay published by Isa Leshko capturing the "beauty and dignity of elderly animals" "in their winter years". As I looked at each of the ...
Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology's most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers have compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting ...
Some of the foundational studies in the field were neither ethical by today’s standards nor replicable. But we can do better. Unfortunately for both the field and the dogs themselves, the truth is ...
Animal behavior research relies on careful observation of animals. Researchers might spend months in a jungle habitat watching tropical birds mate and raise their young. They might track the rates of ...
Human-driven climate change is increasingly shaping the Earth’s living environments. Rising temperatures, rapid shifts in rainfall and seasonality, and ocean acidification are presenting altered ...
Biomechanical interactions, rather than neurons, control the movements of one of the simplest animals. The discovery offers a glimpse into how animal behavior worked before neurons evolved. The ...
