Protective behavior or ‘true’ tool use? Scrutinizing the tool use behavior of ants [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 In the genus Aphaenogaster, workers use tools to transport liquid food to the colony. During this behavior, ants place or drop various kinds of debris into liquids or soft food, and then, they carry the food‐soaked tools back to the nest.

Surfactant affects the tool use behavior of foraging ants
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Surfactants are commonly used in detergents, soaps and agrichemical products. After use, the residual surfactants can be dispersed into environmental compartments, directly or indirectly affecting aquatic and terrestrial organisms.

Development of a control task for clarifying the neural mechanisms underlying tool-use behavior in rats (Rattus norvegicus) [PDF]
MethodsX, 2019 Many studies on non-human animals have attempted to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying tool-use behavior. However, previous studies showed considerable non-tool-use-specific differences between tool-use and control tasks.

Animals, 2021 Artificial termite-fishing tasks are a common enrichment for captive great apes, promoting species-typical behaviors. Nonetheless, whether these activities are linked to changes in other behaviors and whether these changes persist over time has seldom ...

Training of Motion Control May Not Improve Tool-Manipulation Ability in Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 In recent times, previous studies have reported the manipulation of tools by rats and degus in controlled experimental settings. However, a previous study reported that only one out of eight experimentally naïve rats could manipulate a rake-shaped tool ...

A METHOD FOR THE OBJECTIVE STUDY OF TOOL‐USING BEHAVIOR [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1975 Key pecking for food was shaped in four crows within a conventional operant‐conditioning test chamber. When pecking stabilized, a metal screen with openings 2.5 cm high by 1.0 cm wide, was placed over the response key, so that the crow could still see but could no longer peck the key.

Using the Humanism Pocket Tool for Patients With Challenging Behaviors [PDF]
The Annals of Family Medicine, 2018 How can clinicians stay humanistic—respectful, empathic, and compassionate—with patients with complex behavioral, social, or physical issues? In our interprofessional patient-centered medical home for homeless Veterans, we designed a compact set of techniques, summarized on a pocket card ...

Tool use behavior in three wild bonobo communities at Kokolopori [PDF]
American Journal of Primatology, 2021 AbstractComparative studies on tool technologies in extant primates, especially in our closest living relatives, offer a window into the evolutionary foundations of tool use in hominins. Whereas chimpanzee tool technology is well studied across populations, the scarcity of described tool technology in wild populations of our other closest living ...
