Brain regions involved in observing and trying to interpret dog behaviour [PDF]
, 2017 Humans and dogs have interacted for millennia. As a result, humans (and especially dog owners) sometimes try to interpret dog behaviour. While there is extensive research on the brain regions that are involved in mentalizing about other peoples ...

Philosophical Explorations, 2010 Valuation consists in a positive or negative response by a subject S to an entity X. Any positive or negative response has a structure that involves a cognitive and a non-cognitive component, as well as a reason relationship between these. This structure is shown to be present in the explicit value judgement ‘Hans is a kraut’, and then also pointed out

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Egalitarian cooperation linked to central oxytocin levels in communal breeding house mice
Communications BiologyRelationships between adult females are fundamental to understanding diversity in animal social systems. While cooperative relationships between kin are known to promote fitness benefits, the proximate mechanisms underlying this are not well understood ...

Neuronal network dysfunction in a model for Kleefstra syndrome mediated by enhanced NMDAR signaling
Nature Communications, 2019 Kleefstra syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with hapoinsufficiency of the histone methyltransferase EHMT1. Here the authors show using induced pluripotent cells-derived neurons from patients that network dysfunction occurs and is due ...

Inference and Influence of Large-Scale Social Networks Using Snapshot Population Behaviour without Network Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Population behaviours, such as voting and vaccination, depend on social networks. Social networks can differ depending on behaviour type and are typically hidden. However, we do often have large-scale behavioural data, albeit only snapshots taken at one timepoint.

Unsupervised Behaviour Discovery with Quality-Diversity Optimisation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Quality-Diversity algorithms refer to a class of evolutionary algorithms designed to find a collection of diverse and high-performing solutions to a given problem. In robotics, such algorithms can be used for generating a collection of controllers covering most of the possible behaviours of a robot.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...
