Group formation and maintenance are critical for the survival of social organisms. We investigated a colony of highly social, wild Egyptian fruit bats in a laboratory-based cave to comprehensively characterize how their social networks evol...
Blue Zones: Identifying Adaptation Opportunities Using Past, Present, and Future Flooding in New York City [0.03%]
蓝色地区：利用过去、现在和未来的洪水事件识别纽约市的适应机会

Climate change poses escalating risks to urban populations and infrastructure, making adaptation strategies urgent. We overlaid the pre-urban, natural hydrology of New York City's five boroughs with places that flood today and predictions o...
Combinatorial Instrumental Sound-Making in a Captive Chimpanzee: Evolution of Vocal Externalization [0.03%]
圈养倭黑猩猩的组合式工具发声行为：发声外化的进化现象研究

Instrumental music may have evolved from earlier vocal expressions, gradually expanding into rhythmic sound production using tools. We report a novel case in which a captive male chimpanzee spontaneously produced a structured instrumental d...
Tracking Tool for Fiddler Crabs in Natural Settings to Promote a Model Organism for Synchrony [0.03%]
一种在自然条件下用于追踪拟穴寡妇蟹的工具以期将其培育成同步模式生物

Synchronization has been studied across vastly different spatiotemporal scales in physical, biological, and social systems. Research into the mechanisms that give rise to temporal order, however, has been, by and large, mostly theoretical. ...
Nonlinear Characteristics of High-Density Electroencephalography Demonstrate Differences in Neural Processing of Musical Syntax by Musicians and Nonmusicians [0.03%]
高密度脑电图的非线性特征展示了音乐人在音乐语法学神经处理上的差异

Zengyao Yang et al.
This study investigates the impact of music training on the neural processing of musical syntax, as captured by electroencephalography (EEG) signals. It addresses the complex, long-term brain state changes and inter-regional interactions du...
Repurposing Drugs as Bacteroides fragilis BFT-3 Inhibitors in the Animal Infection Model Galleria mellonella [0.03%]
将药物再利用作为脆弱拟杆菌BFT-3抑制剂的动物感染模型(Galleriamellonella)研究

Bacteroides fragilis is a key component of the human gut microbiota, although enterotoxigenic strains (ETBF), which produce B. fragilis toxin (BFT), can act as opportunistic pathogens. BFT disrupts intestinal epithelial integrity and contri...
Reassessing Transketolase Assays: Methodological Considerations for Detecting Functional Thiamine Deficiency [0.03%]

The biological origins of meditation in humans remain underexplored, despite extensive scholarship on its cultural history and health effects. We present a theoretical account that traces the origins of meditation to the evolutionarily cons...

To evaluate an individuals' moral character the intentions behind their actions must be discriminated from the actual outcome. How this is achieved remains unclear. We developed a novel paradigm that dissociates the perception of intentions...
