A Kiosk Station for the Assessment of Multiple Cognitive Domains and Cognitive Enrichment of Monkeys
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Nonhuman primates (NHP’s) are self-motivated to perform cognitive tasks on touchscreens in their animal housing setting. To leverage this ability, fully integrated hardware and software solutions are needed that work within housing and husbandry routines

Association patterns and foraging behaviour in natural and artificial guppy shoals [PDF]
, 2008 Animal groups are often nonrandom assemblages of individuals that tend to be assorted by factors such as sex, body size, relatedness and familiarity.

Vegetated highway medians as foraging habitat for small mammals
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019 Wildlife passages are intended to facilitate movement of animals across roads while mitigating barrier effects. A less appreciated aspect of mitigation is how such wildlife passages may be used for reasons that are supplementary to their intended purpose

Diversity, 2018 Renewal ecology promotes the creation and enhancement of landscapes that support biodiversity and ecosystem services for humans. Silvicultural thinning of forest regrowth to reduce tree competition represents a form of active management that may also ...

General Cognitive Ability Predicts Survival-Readiness in Genetically Heterogeneous Laboratory Mice
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Although genetically heterogeneous laboratory mice express individual differences in general cognitive ability (c.f., “intelligence”), it is unknown whether these differences are translated into behaviors that would promote survival.

Feeding and foraging ecology of Trindade petrels Pterodroma arminjoniana during the breeding period in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2017 Seabirds breeding in tropical environments experience high energetic demands, when foraging in an oligotrophic environment. The globally threatened Trindade petrel Pterodroma arminjoniana has its largest colony in Trindade Island (20°30′S–29°19′W) inside

Social inhibition maintains adaptivity and consensus of honeybees foraging in dynamic environments [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 To effectively forage in natural environments, organisms must adapt to changes in the quality and yield of food sources across multiple timescales. Individuals foraging in groups act based on both their private observations and the opinions of their ...

Late Winter Foraging by Honeybees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at Sapsucker Drill Holes [PDF]
, 2017 Observations of Apis mellifera foraging at sapsucker drill holes were made during February 1988 in southwestern Virginia. Foraging bouts were dependent upon temperature; more bees visited drill holes when ambient temperatures exceeded 10oC. Honeybees did

Physical Review E, 2018 We introduce the \emph{frugal foraging} model in which a forager performs a discrete-time random walk on a lattice, where each site initially contains $\mathcal{S}$ food units. The forager metabolizes one unit of food at each step and starves to death when it last ate $\mathcal{S}$ steps in the past. Whenever the forager decides to eat, it consumes all

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 In the d'Urville Sea in East Antarctica, a population of roughly 20,000 pairs of Adélie penguins of Iles des Pétrels (Terre Adélie) has experienced two massive breeding failures, with no chick surviving the 2013–14 and 2016–17 breeding seasons.
