Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Contributions of Positive Social Interactions to Vocal Learning and Social Cohesion

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Birdsong produced in non‐breeding flocks is shaped by a dynamic interplay between intrinsic reward and social feedback. Studies in cowbirds and starlings suggest that positive affective states and opioid‐mediated reward promote song practice, while responses from flock mates, potentially reinforced by dopaminergic mechanisms, refine species‐typical ...

The Effect of Familiarity Among Social Partners on the Jumping Behavior of Amazon Mollies

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Pairs of familiar or nonfamiliar clonal Amazon mollies were tested in individual bowls, from which they could only escape from by jumping. Familiar pairs remained together significantly more than non‐familiar ones. Other behavioral aspects, such as timing and direction of jumps was not affected by familiarity.
