Chimpanzees and bonobos are excellent tool users and can socially learn various skills. Previous studies on social learning mainly measure success/failure in acquiring new techniques, with less direct measurement of proximate mechanisms like visual attention during the process. This study investigates how great apes observe tool-using demonstration...

The ability to discriminate relative quantities, one of the numerical competences, is considered an adaptive trait in uncertain environments. Besides humans, previous studies have reported this capacity in several non-human primates and birds. Here, we test whether red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) can discriminate different relative qu...
The social structure of animal populations is a fundamental component of their biology, influencing gene flow, habitat use, competition and co-operation around resources, and communication. However, ecological and social relationships can be challenging to describe in most marine mammals, who spend the majority of their lives underwater. The finles...
To maximize survival probability, animals must assess predation risks and adopt flexible defensive strategies based on specific conditions. Pit vipers utilize venom for predation and self-defense, and venom status significantly influences its effectiveness. Thus, pit vipers may evaluate their venom reserve and adopt corresponding defensive tactics....
The genus Rhabdophis is a group of widely distributed snakes with more than 20 species. Recent field msurveys uncovered a species in southwestern China, which has long been considered as R. pentasupralabialis. Combined molecular and morphological analyses revealed it as a new species Rhabdophis chiwen sp. nov. Based on 12 specimens, this new specie...
Although acute hyperoxia/hypoxia alternation can shift sharply physiological processes of vessel development, e.g. oxygen induced retinopathy, very little is known of metabolic products resulted from the neovascularization disorder. In this study, the influence of abnormal oxygen exposures on the plasma metabolomic profiles of rat models with oxyge...
