Infanticide and infant defence by males--modelling the conditions in primate multi-male groups [PDF]
Infanticide by primate males was considered rare if groups contain more than one adult male because, owing to lower paternity certainty, a male should be less likely to benefit from infanticide.

Climate Change Challenges Grey Wolf Resilience: Insights From Dental Microwear
We investigate dietary plasticity in European grey wolves across interglacial periods using dental microwear texture analysis. Enhanced durophagy is associated with warm climates in both modern Polish and British Pleistocene wolves, indicating deep‐time behavioural flexibility.

Categorizing Visual Information in Subpopulations of Honeybee Mushroom Body Output Neurons
Multisensory integration plays a central role in perception, as all behaviors usually require the input of different sensory signals. For instance, for a foraging honeybee the association of a food source includes the combination of olfactory and visual ...

Observations in San Antonio, Texas documented rare interspecific allopreening between crested caracaras and black vultures at Phil Hardberger Park. This represents the first recorded instance of such behavior in an urban green space, expanding the known ecological and geographic scope of interspecies social interactions.

Viral spill‐over from honey bees is a potential threat to wild pollinators. We used causal modelling approaches to detect the main drivers of spill‐over. Honey bee viral density, niche overlap with honey bees, urbanisation and plant‐pollinator network structure all played an important role in the transmission of BQCV, DWV‐A and DWV‐B.

Evolving a Field: Can Evolutionary Theory Provide What the Study of Human Evolution Requires?
ABSTRACT The extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) is a school of thought that maintains that genetic determination and natural selection are over‐emphasized in the study of evolution at the expense of non‐genetic inheritance and processes of evolution beyond selection.
