Raptors’ Natural History Influences Their Response to the String-Pull Task

International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2023
Largely due to the small number of individuals in captivity, birds of prey remain an understudied, but promising, group for animal cognition research. Variations on the classic string-pulling task have been applied across species to evaluate abilities ...

On the analyzing of bifurcation properties of the one‐dimensional Mackey–Glass model by using a generalized approach

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
The goal of this work is to look at how a nonlinear model describes hematopoiesis and its complexities utilizing commonly used techniques with historical and material links. Based on time delay, the Mackey–Glass model is explored in two instances. To offer a range, the relevance of the parameter impacting stability (bifurcation) is recorded.
