Collective Animal Behavior from Bayesian Estimation and Probability Matching [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Animals living in groups make movement decisions that depend, among other factors, on social interactions with other group members. Our present understanding of social rules in animal collectives is based on empirical fits to observations and we lack ...

Identification of the neurotransmitter profile of AmFoxP expressing neurons in the honeybee brain using double-label in situ hybridization

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2018
Background FoxP transcription factors play crucial roles for the development and function of vertebrate brains. In humans the neurally expressed FOXPs, FOXP1, FOXP2, and FOXP4 are implicated in cognition, including language.

Heat Stress Trends in Regions of Intensive Turkey Production in Germany—A Challenge in Times of Climate Change

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
This study analyzed trends of enthalpy and the temperature–humidity index (THI) over a period of 50 years in outer air, which lead to severe heat stress in turkeys.

Probabilistic models of individual and collective animal behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Performance of Azure-winged magpies in Aesop’s fable paradigm

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In this study, the improved Aesop’s fable paradigm—a series of experiments originally used to test whether some animals understand the causality associated with water replacement—was used to explore the cognitive ability of Azure-winged magpies ...

Monkeys fight more in polluted air

open access: yesScientific 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

Performance Evaluation of Neural Networks for Animal Behaviors Classification: Horse Gaits Case Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The study and monitoring of wildlife has always been a subject of great interest. Studying the behavior of wildlife animals is a very complex task due to the difficulties to track them and classify their behaviors through the collected sensory ...

How do we approach intrinsic motivation computationally? : a commentary on: What is intrinsic motivation? A typology of computational approaches. by Pierre-Yves Oudeyer and Frederic Kaplan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
What is the energy function guiding behavior and learningµ Representationbased approaches like maximum entropy, generative models, sparse coding, or slowness principles can account for unsupervised learning of biologically observed structure in sensory ...

Animal behavior: Innovation in the city

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2021
Behavioral innovations may help animals cope with new environments, but how such behaviors start is hard to capture. A new study reports the innovation and transmission of a new foraging culture in an urban parrot.
