Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID), are pervasive, often lifelong disorders, lacking evidence‐based interventions for core symptoms.

Animal Behavior: Socializing Octopus [PDF]
Building on the recently published Octopus bimaculoides genome, a new study identifies an evolutionarily conserved neural mechanism for serotonergic regulation of social behaviors.

Long-Range Acoustic Interactions in Insect Swarms: An Adaptive Gravity Model [PDF]
The collective motion of groups of animals emerges from the net effect of the interactions between individual members of the group. In many cases, such as birds, fish, or ungulates, these interactions are mediated by sensory stimuli that predominantly ...

APTv2: Benchmarking Animal Pose Estimation and Tracking with a Large-scale Dataset and Beyond [PDF]
Animal Pose Estimation and Tracking (APT) is a critical task in detecting and monitoring the keypoints of animals across a series of video frames, which is essential for understanding animal behavior. Past works relating to animals have primarily focused on either animal tracking or single-frame animal pose estimation only, neglecting the integration ...

Inhibition within a premotor circuit controls the timing of vocal turn-taking in zebra finches
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 ...

AP-10K: A Benchmark for Animal Pose Estimation in the Wild [PDF]
Accurate animal pose estimation is an essential step towards understanding animal behavior, and can potentially benefit many downstream applications, such as wildlife conservation. Previous works only focus on specific animals while ignoring the diversity of animal species, limiting the generalization ability.

MoveApps: a serverless no-code analysis platform for animal tracking data
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 ...

Self-Administration of a Boar Priming Pheromone Stimulates Puberty in Gilts without Boar Exposure
Labor is in short supply in animal agriculture. One time-consuming task is estrus detection in gilts. Stimulation with a live boar causes the onset of puberty in young gilts. Typically, a live boar is used to stimulate and identify estrus in the gilts by

Interactive rhythms across species: The evolutionary biology of animal chorusing and turn-taking
The study of human language is progressively moving toward comparative and interactive frameworks, extending the concept of turn‐taking to animal communication.

Modification of the Feline-Ality Assessment and the Ability to Predict Adopted Cats' Behaviors in Their New Homes [PDF]
It is estimated that 2.5 million cats enter animal shelters in the United States every year and as few as 20% leave the shelter alive. Of those adopted, the greatest risk to post-adoption human animal bond is unrealistic expectations set by the adopter ...
