Flavour neophobia (the reduced intake of unfamiliar flavours) is a common response across species, including humans. Although several variables such as developmental stage, prior flavour experience or context are known to influence neophobi...
Variation in food-maximizing behaviour as a function of context, breed, and individual characteristics: A study of Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherd Dogs [0.03%]

Food motivation is widely recognized as a fundamental factor shaping domestic dog behaviour. However, it remains unclear whether different behavioural experimental paradigms capture distinct motivational components, and whether factors know...

Self-imposed time-out (TO) is a response that temporarily suspends a positive reinforcement schedule while altering associated environmental stimuli. This study tested competing hypotheses: whether TO functions as escape from the reinforcem...

Recent studies on the socio-cognitive abilities of animals, including elephants, have highlighted their aptitude to perceive and respond to human cues, particularly in captive settings. These abilities are crucial for fostering positive int...

Adaptive behavior requires organisms to make decisions under uncertainty, balancing the exploitation of known options with exploration as environmental structure changes. Across ecology and neuroscience, this problem has been studied using ...
Developmental light colour influences adult phototaxis and locomotion in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]
发育光颜色影响果蝇的行为反应

Light colour is an important environmental factor influencing animal behaviour and its plasticity. Here, we investigated how developmental exposure to different light colours modulates adult phototaxis and locomotion in Drosophila melanogas...
Anthropogenic noise impacts territorial defense in a non-urban songbird [0.03%]

The challenge anthropogenic noise poses to songbird acoustic communication is well-documented from the signaler's perspective, but less is known about its effects on signal receivers. This study used playback experiments to simulate intrusi...
Overt physiological responses and atypical behavior evoked in adult zebrafish in the novel tank test by two acute 'survival' stressors [0.03%]

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are increasingly utilized in neurobehavioral research. The novel tank 'diving' test is presently the most popular and sensitive behavioral assay for adult zebrafish. Characteristic bottom dwelling ('diving') in this ...
Effects of initial-link schedule on suboptimal choice are modulated by bias [0.03%]
初始链接安排对次优选择的影响受偏置调节
Tess Austin,Stephanie Gomes-Ng,Sarah Cowie et al.
Tess Austin et al.
Previous research suggests that longer initial-link durations decrease suboptimal choice, a relationship that has been predicted by the Signal for Good News (SiGN) model. The present study aimed to replicate these results with FR 1 and VI 2...
