PsyCh Journal, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 517-526, August 2024.Abstract Rule learning is an important ability that enables human beings to adapt to nature and develop civilizations. There have been many discussions on the mechanism and characteristics of algebraic rule learning, but there are still controversies due to the lack of theoretical guidance.

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2024.The prolactin receptor has many conserved features across species, and these are all subject to a complex regulation at the level of gene transcription. This figure depicts the structure of different isoforms of the prolactin receptor in representative human, rodent, ungulate, avian, and reptile species.

The domestication of the larynx: The neural crest connection
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 4, Page 342-349, June 2024.We outline the developmental link between the larynx and the neural crest. This connection provides a powerful test of the predictions of the most prominent hypothesis in domestication research, the neural crest domestication syndrome hypothesis. Abstract Wolves howl and dogs bark, both are able to produce variants of either vocalization, but we see a ...

Volatile organic compounds in preen oil and feathers – a review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 1085-1099, June 2024.ABSTRACT For a long time birds were assumed to be anosmic or at best microsmatic, with olfaction a poorly understood and seldom investigated part of avian physiology. The full viability of avian olfaction was first discovered through its functions in navigation and foraging. Subsequently, researchers have investigated the role of olfaction in different

Physiological Reports, Volume 12, Issue 11, June 2024.Abstract Solute carrier family 26 (Slc26) is a family of anion exchangers with 11 members in mammals (named Slc26a1‐a11). Here, we identified a novel member of the slc26 family, slc26a12, located in tandem with slc26a2 in the genomes of several vertebrate lineages.

Genes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 23, Issue 1, February 2024.Domestication syndrome is a well‐known phenomenon that is receiving increasing attention. However, debate persists regarding the existence of this phenomenon. We selectively bred mice exhibiting high levels of tameness and found that highly tamed mice displayed increased sociability; however, no changes were observed in domestication syndrome ...

Data-efficient self-supervised algorithms for fine-grained birdsong analysis
Ecological InformaticsResearch in bioacoustics, neuroscience, and linguistics often uses birdsong as a proxy to acquire knowledge across diverse areas. This requires audio models to annotate and parse the birdsong.
