Altered photoperiod affects behaviour in a key fish grazer, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The aim of this study is to address experimentally the immediate impacts of an alteration of the photoperiod, simulating an extreme artificial light pollution, on the behaviour and stress of a key grazer fish common in temperate coastal ecosystems in Europe, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada.

Scientific Reports, 2023 We equipped 17 captive red deer males (Cervus elaphus) with GPS collars to measure inter-individual distances throughout the 5-months of the antler growth period. We expected some individuals to associate regularly with others while others would not.

Ostensive communication in great apes: The evolution of Gricean intent
Mind &Language, EarlyView.I discuss the evolution of ostensive behaviours (behaviours that display the communicative intent to influence others through the perception of signals and actions addressed to them). Ostensive communication evolved out of evolutionary adaptations to the challenges and opportunities created by the evolutionary scenario of the meeting of ...

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Similarities and differences between dog–human and human–human relationships
Scientific ReportsMost dog owners in Western countries regard their dogs as companions or family members, prompting extensive research on the human-animal bond. However, many studies rely on broad categories or single dimensions, such as satisfaction or attachment, which ...

Averaging sleep spindle occurrence in dogs predicts learning performance better than single measures
Scientific Reports, 2020 Although a positive link between sleep spindle occurrence and measures of post-sleep recall (learning success) is often reported for humans and replicated across species, the test–retest reliability of the effect is sometimes questioned.

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT A comprehensive evolutionary account of human behavior demands simultaneous consideration of biology, local ecology, and culture. Historically, evolutionary anthropology integrated these dimensions through naturalistic observations which offered direct insight into how behaviors unfold within everyday settings.

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1863-1876, August 2026.ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

Non-invasive sleep EEG measurement in hand raised wolves
Scientific Reports, 2022 Sleep research greatly benefits from comparative studies to understand the underlying physiological and environmental factors affecting the different features of sleep, also informing us about the possible evolutionary changes shaping them. Recently, the
