A partial migrant relies upon a range-wide cue set but uses population-specific weighting for migratory timing

Movement Ecology, 2021
Background Many birds species range over vast geographic regions and migrate seasonally between their breeding and overwintering sites. Deciding when to depart for migration is one of the most consequential life-history decisions an individual may make ...

Coupling of coastal activity with tidal cycles is stronger in tool-using capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator)

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Terrestrial mammals exploiting coastal resources must cope with the challenge that resource availability and accessibility fluctuate with tidal cycles. Tool use can improve foraging efficiency and provide access to structurally protected resources that ...

A multi-species evaluation of digital wildlife monitoring using the Sigfox IoT network

Animal Biotelemetry, 2023
Bio-telemetry from small tags attached to animals is one of the principal methods for studying the ecology and behaviour of wildlife. The field has constantly evolved over the last 80 years as technological improvement enabled a diversity of sensors to ...

Wing tags severely impair movement in African Cape Vultures

Animal Biotelemetry, 2021
Background The use of tracking technologies is key for the study of animal movement and pivotal to ecological and conservation research. However, the potential effects of devices attached to animals are sometimes neglected. The impact of tagging not only

Disentangling influence over group speed and direction reveals multiple patterns of influence in moving meerkat groups

Scientific Reports, 2022
Animals that travel together in groups must constantly come to consensus about both the direction and speed of movement, often simultaneously. Contributions to collective decisions may vary among group members, yet inferring who has influence over group ...

Neural Correlates of Social Behavior in Mushroom Body Extrinsic Neurons of the Honeybee Apis mellifera [PDF]

, 2020
The social behavior of honeybees (Apis mellifera) has been extensively investigated, but little is known about its neuronal correlates. We developed a method that allowed us to record extracellularly from mushroom body extrinsic neurons (MB ENs) in a ...

Occurrence of claw asymmetries in fattening pigs and potential impact on the development of sole ulcerations

Porcine Health Management, 2022
Background Claw abnormalities, particularly claw asymmetries, are associated with lameness in pigs and can be a welfare issue. However, the prevalence and development of claw asymmetries in pigs of different age is unknown.
