Behavior First: A Toolkit for Meeting the Behavioral Needs of Animals in Zoos and Aquariums

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically focused on training and enrichment, behavioral husbandry has become a standard fixture in zoos and aquariums. Enrichment planning has explicitly incorporated species' natural history since its inception. Despite this, many enrichment strategies have traditionally been developed by starting with items to be placed in animal ...

Credit‐Driven Adaptive Grouping for Refined Cooperative Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy heterogeneity is crucial for achieving sophisticated coordination in complex collaborative tasks, which has emerged as one of the key challenges in multi‐agent reinforcement learning (MARL) in recent years. Notably, the grouping paradigm has made remarkable progress in addressing policy heterogeneity.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.
