Dorsal fins are not universal stabilizers in cetaceans: limited yaw effects and flipper-coupled roll stability

The paper examines cetacean dorsal fin function, finding they are not universal stabilizers but lineage-specific roll stabilizers interacting with flippers.

Integration of UAS-based spatial surveys and bio-logging tracking enhances precision in population size estimation

The paper integrates UAS-based spatial surveys and bio-logging tracking to improve population size estimation by combining individual behavior data with colony-level counts.

Magellanic penguins balance navigation with foraging opportunities in complex current regimes

Magellanic penguins adjust their navigation strategies to balance energy efficiency and foraging opportunities in response to tidal currents.

Self-organized acoustic behavior in bats arises from simple rules

The paper studies self-organized vocal behavior in bats, finding that simple rules govern frequency adjustments in response to jamming stimuli, reducing echolocation conflicts in groups.

A hybrid versatile method for state estimation and feature extraction from the trajectory of animal behavior

This paper introduces a hybrid machine learning method to estimate behavioral states and extract features from low-content animal trajectory data, validated across diverse species and environments.
