The paper investigates the relationship between female pheromone signaling, male antennal morphology, and reproductive success in a polymorphic moth, finding no correlation between morph-related attractiveness and reproductive success.

This study examines how early-life group size affects response inhibition in Japanese quails, finding that larger groups reduce pecking time but do not impact learning rates.

The paper shows that cytokine signaling from the Drosophila gut to brain glial cells regulates sleep, with oxidative stress-induced cytokines promoting sleep during intestinal inflammation.

The study tracks Western Burrowing Owls in an urban park, finding they arrive later, leave earlier, prefer sheltered habitats, tolerate rain, and face predator threats.

The paper examines how perceived predation risk influences among-individual behavioral variation in Amazon mollies, finding reduced variation in predator-exposed groups.

This study examines how rising winter temperatures affect the performance of three estuarine fish species, finding improved growth and activity at 20°C compared to 16°C, with species-specific responses.

This study shows acarbose improves metabolic health and reduces cognitive deficits in Western diet-fed 3xTg mice, suggesting it may help prevent or delay Alzheimer's disease.

This study shows that dietary protein restriction reduces sucrose consumption and mesolimbic dopamine signaling in mice.

The paper introduces time-separated mutual information as a more efficient metric for analyzing asymmetric leader-follower interactions in golden shiner fish, validated through experimental data.

The paper examines how high early lactational synchrony in baboon groups affects female-female competition and infant mortality using long-term field data.

This study finds that aged mice acquire intravenous opioid self-administration faster than young mice, with variable effects on intake and cue-responding for remifentanil but not fentanyl.

This study shows that stopping speed in rats varies across sessions and is not a fixed trait, suggesting SSRTs should be treated as state-like variables in multi-session stop-signal tasks.

This study shows exenatide reduces food intake in rhesus macaques by uncoupling hedonic and anticipatory regulation from eating behavior.

This study examines spatiotemporal dynamics of locomotor decisions in Drosophila and humans, showing that future choices can be predicted through sustained locomotor signatures and highlighting the role of sensory and dopaminergic signaling.

This study shows that nest visits disturb Great Tit females, reducing total incubation time without compensatory behavior, which may lower hatching rates.

The paper shows that learning increases behavioral individuality in genetically identical flies, distinguishing it from genetic and environmental factors.

This study quantifies natural marmoset behavior patterns using a multimodal dataset, showing day-to-day variability and social influences on behavior.

This study shows that extinction bursts in mice can be explained by curiosity-driven reinforcement learning, linking intrinsic motivation to behavioral responses.

This study examines how adolescent THC exposure affects dopamine-dependent cognitive processes in adult rats, finding sex-dependent impacts on reward seeking and altered sensitivity to amphetamine effects.

This study examines how the timing of social mates affects diel timing variation in great tits and finds that females respond more strongly to their partner's timing than males.

This study examines individual differences in the alignment between psychological and physiological stress indicators using the Maastricht Acute Stress Test in healthy adults.

The paper develops a cognitive test battery for marmosets to study aging and cognitive decline, finding significant individual variability and domain-specific decline similar to humans.

This study reports an adult male gibbon producing female-specific great-calls, suggesting reduced testosterone levels may allow for cross-sex song production in gibbons.

The paper examines feeding lateralization in two lemur species, finding a right-hand bias in white-fronted lemurs and no clear bias in ring-tailed lemurs, with no significant effect of age or sex.

This study develops a computational model to predict visual habituation and dishabituation in infants and adults using looking time data.

The paper tests whether rats use an integration strategy or degenerate strategies in a perceptual decision-making task and finds they predominantly use integration.

This study shows that mice with bilateral hearing loss lose their ability to perform a sound-seeking task, while those with unilateral loss recover using a different strategy.

This study examines sex- and strain-dependent effects of ageing on sleep and activity in Drosophila, finding that some phenotypes vary significantly between sexes and strains while others are more consistent.

The paper examines sex differences in pace-of-life strategies among three rodent species using behavioral tests and fecal glucocorticoid metabolites, finding similar trait expressions between sexes.
