To find nutrients, mosquitoes use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants and animal hosts. These resources overlap in their chemical composition, and an important layer of information resides in VOCs' relative abundance in the headspace of each resource. In addition, a large majority of the human species regularly uses personal care pr...
Social behavior is naturally occurring in vertebrate species, which holds a strong evolutionary component and is crucial for the normal development and survival of individuals throughout life. Behavioral neuroscience has seen different influential methods for social behavioral phenotyping. The ethological research approach has extensively investiga...
Putative ant mimicry is a remarkable example of an evolutionary strategy that can be well integrated into the framework of natural selection and adaptation. However, challenges remain in understanding imperfect ant mimicry. Here, we combine trait quantification and behavioral assays to investigate imperfect ant mimicry in the jumping spider Siler c...

The present article focused on the study of animal personality using the Tinbergen four questions model as a framework. We discussed the historical background of the model and how it can be used to understand the evolution, development, function, and causation of animal personality. Additionally, we examined the role of learning in animal personali...
Terms such as leader , mediator , and follower sound equal in the description of a pack of wolves, a street protest crowd, or a business team and have very similar meanings. This indicates the presence of some general law or structure that governs collective behaviour. To reveal this, we selected the most common parameter for most levels of the org...
Use of a grazing system that takes into account the ingestive behavior of animals and the physiological characteristics of plants maximizes land use and promotes positive effects on the environment. In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Pantaneira breed cows, kept in rotated grazing in Mombasa grass (Megathyr...
In contrast to extensive investigations on bee cognition, the cognitive capacities of wasps remain largely unexplored despite their key role as pollinators and predators of insect pests. Here we studied learning and memory in the neotropical wasp Mischocyttarus cerberus using a Pavlovian conditioning in which harnessed wasps respond with conditione...

Muga silkworm (Antheraea assamensis Helfer) is endemic to NorthEastern India, and naturally produces golden silk. From time immemorial, many ethnic and tribal groups have produced muga silk. Muga silkworms are mostly wild unlike the mulberry silkworm, which is completely domesticated. Muga silkworm is distributed in only some parts of India, especi...
Unlike mammals, most invertebrates provide no direct parental care for their progeny, which makes a well-selected oviposition site crucial. However, little is known about the female evaluation of opportunities and threats during host selection. Leveraging the wide range of host plants used by the polyphagous pest, Spodoptera littoralis, we investig...
Tactical deception can be beneficial for social animals during intra-specific competition. However, the use of tactical deception in wild mammals is predicted to be rare. We tested whether a food-provisioned free-ranging band of golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) use alarm calls in a functionally deceptive manner to gain access to...
The Asian Water Monitor (Varanus salvator)is a highly adaptable species that
lives in close proximity to humans. The present study aims to construct an ethogram
of V. salvator to obtain a complete record of its behaviours in its natural environment. This ethogram is constructed on the basis of all the exclusive behaviours (39) and behavioural cat...
Humans have no close living relatives and so it is of interest to human ethologists to try and model the characteristics of the last common ancestor (LCA) of humans and chimpanzees. This can be done by examining similarities in the behaviour of these species and also by considering their behavioural differences. This analysis indicates that the LCA...

Since the 10-year status update in 2011, the first parent-reared whooping cranes (Grus americana) were released in the Eastern Migratory Population, the ultralight program (UL) ended, and cranes were released at new sites in eastern Wisconsin. During 2011-2020, 117 captive-reared whooping cranes were released; 75 costume-reared (35 in UL and 40 in...
The ability of humans to mediate environmental variation through tool use is likely the key to our success. However, our current knowledge of early cultural evolution derives almost exclusively from studies of stone tools and fossil bones found in the archaeological record. Tools made of plants are intrinsically perishable, and as such are almost e...
Vigilance plays an important role in the detection of possible threats and reducing the risk of predation, including during the incubation period. We examined the visual vigilance of incubating whooping cranes (Grus americana) in Juneau County, Wisconsin, during the 2019 nesting season.

Desde las diferentes disciplinas y profesiones que abordan el comportamiento animal y humano (psicología, etología, veterinaria, zootecnia, etc.), ha sido de gran interés, entender la manera como nuestras mentes y acciones interactúan con las mentes y las acciones de los animales. Dos ejemplos aplicados en psicología son: la psicoterapia y rehabili...
How do animals learn to classify the world and what is the role of social learning during this process? Here, we show that young sooty mangabeys, Cercocebus atys, of Taï Forest, Côte d’Ivoire, learn to rapidly classify an unfamiliar predator by attending to others’ alarm calls and that such knowledge is retained over long periods. We experimentally...
In honey bee colonies, workers generally change tasks with age (from brood care, to nest work, to foraging). While these trends are well-established, our understanding of how individuals distribute tasks during a day, and how individuals differ in their lifetime behavioral trajectories, is limited. Here, we use automated tracking to obtain long-ter...
