Tool use behavior in three wild bonobo communities at Kokolopori [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...

Behavior Systems Approach to Object Play: Stone Handling Repertoire as a Measure of Propensity for Complex Foraging and Percussive Tool Use in the Genus Macaca

open access: yesAnimal Behavior and Cognition, 2017
Stone handling (SH), has been identified in four closely related primate species of the Macaca genus. We provide the first ethogram of SH in long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), a primate species known to use stones for extractive foraging.

A Mathematical Model for Tamarin's Tool-Use Behavior

open access: yesPrimate Research, 2010
Primates can use various objects as tools. How they use the objects varies with the species. This provides a measure of primates' intelligence. This study focuses on the following issues on the ability of cotton-top tamarin's tool-use behavior shown by Santos et al.; 1) Whether does tamarin use an inverse model or a forward model as the internal model ...

Tool use specific adult neurogenesis and synaptogenesis in rodent (Octodon degus) hippocampus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We previously demonstrated that degus (Octodon degus), which are a species of small caviomorph rodents, could be trained to use a T-shaped rake as a hand tool to expand accessible spaces.

Training of Motion Control May Not Improve Tool-Manipulation Ability in Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Thinking Maps Used as a Behavior Management Tool [PDF]

open access: yesUniversal Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Thinking Maps is an academic tool that allows students to organize information in a way that supports cognitive processes [1]. Thus far, research on Thinking Maps has been based on students' academic outcomes. Yet, Thinking Maps can provide students with academic as well as behavioral support while only using one tool to accomplish both.

Using newly optimized genetic tools to probe Strongyloides sensory behaviors [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2022
The oft-neglected human-parasitic threadworm, Strongyloides stercoralis, infects roughly eight percent of the global population, placing disproportionate medical and economic burden upon marginalized communities. While current chemotherapies treat strongyloidiasis, disease recrudescence and the looming threat of anthelminthic resistance necessitate ...
