When biologists study cooperation in animals, they usually offer just a single task at a time. But what happens when animals ...

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...

Pipistrelle bats have a magnetic compass and calibrate it at sunset, according to a new study. An international team of researchers led by the University of Oldenburg has used behavioral experiments ...

Pose estimation methods and motion capture systems have opened doors to quantitative measurements of animal kinematics. While animal behavior experiments are expensive and complex, tracking errors ...

People with health anxiety tend to get tangled up in problematic behaviors, such as reassurance-seeking, excessive body checking and avoidance. These behaviors act like a vortex, sucking you into that ...

The accurate detection and quantification of rodent behavior forms a cornerstone of basic biomedical research. Current data-driven approaches, which segment free exploratory behavior into clusters, ...

A meadow grasshopper (Pseudochorthippus parallelus). This species is widespread across most of Europe and is commonly used as a model organism in evolutionary biology. If an experiment is repeated ...
