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%]

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
