Brood parasitic cuckoos usually remove one host egg before laying their own. The purpose of this behaviour is still not fully understood. Recent studies that investigated cognitive mechanisms underlying egg removal found that cuckoos prefer...

This study investigates the optimal daily foraging strategy of predators that encounter two distinct types of prey. While the classical prey model is derived under the assumption of an infinite foraging duration, a stochastic simulation mod...

The present report aims to examine models that best describe the temporal structure of walking and immobility in Drosophila melanogaster, using data from a public repository (Maesani et al., 2015). Two candidate models were evaluated: a pow...
Rats' preferences in the suboptimal-choice procedure are affected by the perceptual salience of the stimuli [0.03%]
刺激的感知显著性影响子最优选择程序中大鼠的偏好
Rodrigo González-Torres,J Alfredo Zarco-Morales,Montserrat García-Lugo et al.
Rodrigo González-Torres et al.
Studies examining rats' performance in the suboptimal choice procedure have shown that rats behave suboptimally when the signal predicting reinforcement (S+) is more salient than the signal predicting the absence of reinforcement (S-). The ...
Urban gulls distinguish perceived threats: Cognitive responses to human activities and their associated implements [0.03%]
城市中的海鸥能区分感知到的威胁:对人类活动及其相关工具的认知反应

Yidong Wei et al.
Although urban-dwelling animals are able to access food, shelter, and breeding grounds in the towns and cities, they face potential dangers from humans and human modes of transportation. Consequently, the ability of animals to distinguish a...
Prey selection and foraging behavior of Eriocheir sinensis towards three freshwater mollusk species: Mechanisms and ecological implications [0.03%]
中华绒螯蟹对三种淡水螺类的食性选择及摄食行为机制与生态意义
Yanming Sui,Aijia Lin,Weiwei Su et al.
Yanming Sui et al.
Eriocheir sinensis (Chinese Mitten Crab), a key freshwater benthic predator that regulates mollusk communities and material cycling via its feeding behavior, was the focus of this study. A total of 28 crabs were tested (4 replicates × 7 tr...
