Thinking Adaptive: Towards a Behaviours Virtual [PDF]
, 2000 In this paper we name some of the advantages of virtual laboratories; and propose that a Behaviours Virtual Laboratory should be useful for both biologists and AI researchers, offering a new perspective for understanding adaptive behaviour.

Experimental Predictions of The Functional Response of A Freshwater Fish [PDF]
, 2013 The functional response is the relationship between the feeding rate of an animal and its food density. It is reliant on two basic parameters; the volume searched for prey per unit time (searching rate) and the time taken to consume each prey item ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract In group‐living animals, relationships between group members are often highly differentiated. Some dyads can maintain strong and long‐lasting relationships, while others are only connected by weak or fleeting ties. More and more studies show that aspects of social relationships are related to reproductive success and survival.

Attachment Styles Within the Coach-Athlete Dyad: Preliminary Investigation and Assessment Development [PDF]
, 2002 The present preliminary study aimed to develop and examine the psychometric properties of a new sport-specific self-report instrument designed to assess athletes’ and coaches’ attachment styles. The development and initial validation comprised three main

High precision real-time location estimates in a real-life barn environment using a commercial ultra wideband chip [PDF]
, 2020 Structural changes lead to an increase in the number of dairy cows and dry sows kept per group. This has consequences in how easily a farmer can supervise his herd and may be detrimental to animal welfare, specifically regarding social relations, time ...

Dogs (Canis familiaris) recognize their own body as a physical obstacle
Scientific Reports, 2021 Mental representations of one’s own body provide useful reference when negotiating physical environmental challenges. Body-awareness is a neuro-ontogenetic precursor for higher order self-representation, but there is a lack of an ecologically valid ...

Sex‐biased dispersal in the Arabian babbler (Argya squamiceps)
Ibis, EarlyView.Sex‐biased dispersal plays a central role in shaping social structure and reproductive strategies in many bird species. In the Arabian Babbler Argya squamiceps, a cooperatively breeding species with pronounced male philopatry, dispersal occurs individually or in kin‐based same‐sex coalitions.

Deriving shape-based features for C. elegans locomotion using dimensionality reduction methods [PDF]
, 2016 High-throughput analysis of animal behavior is increasingly common following the advances of recording technology, leading to large high-dimensional data sets. This dimensionality can sometimes be reduced while still retaining relevant information.

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.
