Functions of Intermittent Locomotion in Mustached Tamarins (Saguinus mystax) [PDF]
, 2010 Many animals interrupt their moving with brief pauses, which appear to serve several different functions. We examined the function of such intermittent locomotion in wild living mustached tamarins (Saguinus mystax), small arboreal New World primates that

Characterization of Retinal Functionality at Different Eccentricities in a Diurnal Rodent
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Although the properties of the neurons of the visual system that process central and peripheral regions of the visual field have been widely researched in the visual cortex and the LGN, they have scarcely been documented for the retina. The retina is the

Probabilistic inference and Bayesian‐like estimation in animals: Empirical evidence
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract Animals often make decisions without perfect knowledge of environmental parameters like the quality of an encountered food patch or a potential mate. Theoreticians often assume animals make such decisions using a Bayesian updating process that combines prior information about the frequency distribution of resources in the environment with ...

The vomeronasal system of the wolf (Canis lupus signatus): The singularities of a wild canid
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 245, Issue 1, Page 109-136, July 2024.The vomeronasal system (VNS) of the Iberian wolf is fully functional for pheromone‐mediated communication. Microscopic differences between the VNS of wolves and domestic dogs suggest neural changes due to domestication. These findings provide insights for innovative semiochemical‐based wolf population management strategies.
