Ethology contributes to the study of behavioural disorders [PDF]
, 2012 Ethology, the «biology of behaviour», is a fundamental scientific field. It analyses the interaction between an animal, including man, and its environment. Ethology is closely related to other scientific disciplines, such as physiology,

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Dog brains are sensitive to infant- and dog-directed prosody
Communications Biology, 2023 When addressing preverbal infants and family dogs, people tend to use specific speech styles. While recent studies suggest acoustic parallels between infant- and dog-directed speech, it is unclear whether dogs, like infants, show enhanced neural ...

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.The intensification of human activities exerts an influence on animal behaviour, resulting in noticeable shifts in species distributions, movements, and activity patterns. Differential responses among sympatric species, influenced by human disturbance, have the potential to alter species interactions, such as predator‐prey relationships.

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 ...

Sound quality impacts dogs’ ability to recognize and respond to playback words
Scientific ReportsHumans show a remarkable ability to recognize degraded speech, but they struggle as degradation becomes more severe. Research on dogs, a species naturally exposed to human language, has suggested that also in this species, the level of degradation may ...

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.

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.Food sharing between mother and offspring in capuchin monkeys is a response to the infant's begging. Infants solicit more frequently high‐quality and hard‐to‐process foods and they are more likely to succeed when they are older and if the food item is not a lizard. ABSTRACT In primates, food sharing from mothers to infants may serve two main functions:

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1143-1180, June 2026.ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...
