Abstract: Cognitively advanced animals are usually assumed to possess better self-control, or ability to decline immediate rewards in favour of delayed ones, than less cognitively advanced animals. It has been claimed tha...

Although reproductive strategies can be influenced by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, life history theory provides a rigorous framework for explaining variation in reproductive effort. The terminal investment hypothesis propos...

Abstract: The correlated random walk paradigm is the dominant conceptual framework for modeling animal movement patterns. Nonetheless, we do not know whether the randomness is apparent or actual. Apparent randomness could...
Predictors of nest growth: diminishing returns for subordinates in the paper wasp Polistes dominula [0.03%]

Abstract: In cooperative breeders, subordinates that have alternative reproductive options are expected to stay and help dominant breeders only as long as they contribute to group productivity, if their fitness is linked ...

In recent decades, an accelerating research effort has exploited a substantial diversity of methodologies to garner mounting evidence for social learning and culture in many species of primate. As in humans, the evidence suggests that the j...
Chemical composition of axillary odorants reflects social and individual attributes in rhesus macaques [0.03%]

Abstract: Scents play an important role in the life of most terrestrial mammals and may transmit valuable information about conspecifics. Olfaction was long considered of low importance in Old World monkeys due to their r...
Exposure to predators reduces collective foraging aggressiveness and eliminates its relationship with colony personality composition [0.03%]
天敌暴露降低觅食的积极性及与巢群人格构成的关系

Predation is a ubiquitous threat that often plays a central role in determining community dynamics. Predators can impact prey species by directly consuming them, or indirectly causing prey to modify their behavior. Direct consumption has cl...
Evolution of sex-specific pace-of-life syndromes: genetic architecture and physiological mechanisms [0.03%]
性别特异性生命节奏综合征的进化：遗传结构和生理机制

Elina Immonen et al.
Sex differences in life history, physiology, and behavior are nearly ubiquitous across taxa, owing to sex-specific selection that arises from different reproductive strategies of the sexes. The pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis predic...
Limited social plasticity in the socially polymorphic sweat bee Lasioglossum calceatum [0.03%]
兼性社会性蜜蜂Lasioglossum calceatum的有限的社会可塑性

Abstract: Eusociality is characterised by a reproductive division of labour, where some individuals forgo direct reproduction to instead help raise kin. Socially polymorphic sweat bees are ideal models for addressing the ...
What makes Alpine swift ascend at twilight? Novel geolocators reveal year-round flight behaviour [0.03%]

Abstract: Studying individual flight behaviour throughout the year is indispensable to understand the ecology of a bird species. Recent development in technology allows now to track flight behaviour of small long-distance...
