Monkeys fight more in polluted air
Scientific Reports, 2021 Air pollution is a global environmental problem, and its effects on human behavior, psychology, and health have been well studied. However, very few studies were done on if and how air pollution affects animal behavior, for example, social conflict. Many

Does the Absence of Zoo Visitors during the COVID-19 Pandemic Impact Gorilla Behavior?
Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2022 Whether or not primates are behaviorally affected by the presence of visitors in a zoo setting is a question of great relevance to zoo animal well-being.

Harnessing knowledge of animal behavior to improve habitat restoration outcomes
Ecosphere, 2020 . Restoring degraded habitat to increase biodiversity is a global challenge. While habitat restoration for animals should lead to self-sustaining breeding populations of target species, often this does not occur.

Glia actively sculpt sensory neurons by controlled phagocytosis to tune animal behavior
bioRxiv, 2020 Glia in the central nervous system engulf neuron fragments during synapse remodeling and recycling of photoreceptor outer-segments. Whether glia passively clear shed neuronal debris, or actively remove neuron fragments is unknown.

Inhibition within a premotor circuit controls the timing of vocal turn-taking in zebra finches
Nature Communications, 2020 Control over when to initiate or withhold vocalizations is essential for vocal turn-taking. Here the authors investigate vocal interactions in zebra finches and show that inhibition within the premotor nucleus HVC plays an important role in the precise ...

Probabilistic models of individual and collective animal behavior [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Recent developments in automated tracking allow uninterrupted, high-resolution recording of animal trajectories, sometimes coupled with the identification of stereotyped changes of body pose or other behaviors of interest.

MoveApps: a serverless no-code analysis platform for animal tracking data
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Bio-logging and animal tracking datasets continuously grow in volume and complexity, documenting animal behaviour and ecology in unprecedented extent and detail, but greatly increasing the challenge of extracting knowledge from the data ...

“Closer‐to‐home” strategy benefits juvenile survival in a long‐distance migratory bird
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Human‐induced changes in the climate and environment that occur at an unprecedented speed are challenging the existence of migratory species. Faced with these new challenges, species with diverse and flexible migratory behaviors may suffer less from ...
