Learning when to learn: hummingbirds adjust their exploration behaviour to match the value of information

C. Donkersteeg, H. Peters, C. Jerome, C. Menzies, K. C. Welch, L. Guillette, R. Dakin

This study shows that hummingbirds adjust their exploration behavior based on the value of information, exploring more when new information is valuable and less when it is not.

Common insecticide affects spatial navigation in bats at environmentally-realistic doses

N. I. S. Herrera, L. L. Jacobo, J. S. V. Soto, D. Simmons, P. A. Faure, K. C. Welch

This study shows that environmentally realistic doses of chlorpyrifos impair spatial navigation in bats, with behavioral changes linked to molecular biomarkers.

Inter- and intra-specific variation in hair cortisol concentrations of Neotropical bats

N. I. Sandoval Herrera, G. Mastromonaco, D. Becker, N. B. Simmons, K. C. Welch

This study examines intra- and interspecific variation in hair cortisol levels across 18 Neotropical bat species, identifying fecundity as a key ecological factor explaining interspecific differences.
