When biologists study cooperation in animals, they usually offer just a single task at a time. But what happens when animals can choose among several opportunities to work together? Biologists at ...

Animal conservationists often move elephants between herds to improve biodiversity and group health, but what if the elephants don't speak the same language? Studies suggest that populations, even ...

Cities profoundly shape how animals interact with one another. A new comprehensive review by researchers at Bielefeld University shows that urbanisation alters animal social behaviour – from mate ...

Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology's most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers have compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting ...

Animal behavior research relies on careful observation of animals. Researchers might spend months in a jungle habitat watching tropical birds mate and raise their young. They might track the rates of ...

Vigilance behaviour represents a critical adaptive strategy by which social animals detect and respond to predation threats while balancing other vital activities such as foraging, mating or resting.

Evolutionary approach to animal behavior -- Diversity of behavior -- Genetics of behavior -- Development of behavior -- Nerve cells and behavior -- Organization of behavior -- Evolution of behavior: ...

I've been studying various aspects of animal behavior, especially in mammals, for many decades and have always felt uneasy about how cultural values have limited our true understanding of the dynamics ...

I'm always looking for books and documentaries about animals about whom I know little to nothing, so I was thrilled to learn of a new book by Dr. David Hone, one of the world's leading dinosaur ...
