Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents the MicroRoboScope, a highly integrated, compact, and portable microrobotic experimentation platform combining electromagnetic and acoustic actuation with real‐time visual feedback into a single, end‐to‐end device. The system enables closed‐loop control and tracking algorithm experimentation within an accessible and unified hardware ...

Strategic adjustment of parental care in tree swallows: life-history trade-offs and the role of glucocorticoids [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Life-history theory predicts that optimal strategies of parental investment will depend on ecological and social factors, such as current brood value and offspring need.

Light‐Driven Quadrupedal Walking Biohybrid Robot With Antagonistic Muscle‐Rings and Inclined Joints
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a light‐driven quadrupedal walking biohybrid robot powered by antagonistic muscle‐rings that achieve alternating walking gait. Optical training improved reproducibility of cultured muscle tissues, while caffeine treatment enhanced contractile force.

Female song and vocal interactions with males in a Neotropical wren
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Bird song is thought to function primarily in same-sex competition, mate attraction, and reproductive stimulation of a partner. However, these conclusions are based largely on studies of the song of male birds in north-temperate species.

An attention bias test to assess anxiety states in laying hens [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Fear is a response to a known threat, anxiety is a response to a perceived threat. Both of these affective states can be detrimental to animal welfare in modern housing environments.

Intact Visual Correlation Detection in Autistic Adults
Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ability to detect recurring temporal co‐occurrence, or temporal correlation, of sensory events is fundamental for organizing perceptual input into coherent representations. Although past work has revealed differences across several aspects of temporal processing in autism, it is unknown whether autistic and non‐autistic individuals differ ...

Dance behaviour in cockatoos: Implications for cognitive processes and welfare.
PLoS ONEParrots (Aves, Psittaciformes) in captivity have been reported to show dance behaviour in response to music, which may involve complex cognitive processes including imitation, vocal learning and entrainment.

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions
Ecography, EarlyView.Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.
