Large-scale context and local insight: songbird population trends in the Great Plains

Frontiers in Bird Science
Effective conservation of declining songbird species in the Great Plains of North America requires robust population trend estimates across spatial scales.

Preschoolers’ Sensitivity to Abstract Relations Among Sets

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In two studies, we test preschoolers’ ability to compare abstract relationships across sets. In Experiments 1a−1d, we show that both older (4‐ and 5‐year‐olds) and younger (3‐year‐olds) preschoolers successfully match both monotonic and symmetric relationships in visual patterns and succeed both in direct relational matches and inverted ones ...

Transitioning between preparatory and precisely sequenced neuronal activity in production of a skilled behavior

eLife, 2019
Precise neural sequences are associated with the production of well-learned skilled behaviors. Yet, how neural sequences arise in the brain remains unclear.

The what, which, when, why and who of Off responses in the auditory system

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In this article, we will first review ‘What’ different mechanisms are involved in the generation of Off responses at the sub‐cortical and cortical level of the auditory system. Then, we evaluate ‘Which’ stimulus properties elicit Off responses at the different levels of the auditory system.

Group‐Specific Variation in Heterodyne Frequencies of Biphonic Calls in Resident (R‐Type) Killer Whales Orcinus orca ater

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Biphonation—the simultaneous production of two independent fundamental frequencies within a single vocalization—is a prominent feature of killer whale calls, yet the factors influencing the presence and intensity of heterodyne frequencies, which arise from interactions between these fundamentals, remain poorly understood. We analyzed long‐term

Using decision analysis to develop a framework for nest protection for threatened birds

Oryx
The regent honeyeater Anthochaera phrygia is a Critically Endangered Australian songbird, with current population estimates of < 300 individuals remaining in the wild. Low nest success is a factor preventing the recovery of the population, and management

Chronotype and Seasonal Timing of Reproduction Are Related in a Female Songbird

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 581-591, September 2026.
In this study we found evidence that seasonal timing of reproduction is related to timing of daily activity in great tits (Parus major). Female birds who began daily activity earlier relative to sunrise were also those that began laying eggs earlier in the season.

From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

Using SMS surveys to understand songbird ownership and shark product consumption in Indonesia

Oryx
The unsustainable use of wildlife increases the risk of species extinction. In biodiversity-rich Indonesia, information on the scale of wildlife use is limited and requires further study.

Miniaturized Bidirectional Thermal Stimulation System Integrated With an Electrode Array for Recording Neural Activities

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
This study presents a miniaturized bidirectional thermal stimulation system integrated with an electrode array enabling real‐time, bidirectional modulation and simultaneous recording of neural activity through localized heating and cooling. By monolithic integration of the Peltier element and with a silicon neural probe, the innovative system allows ...
