Scientists built a robot to help explain how a tropical bat spots insects perched on leaves using echolocation, a highly sophisticated behavior that requires precise, split-second decision making on ...

Insects have evolved remarkably efficient strategies for navigation and foraging, employing a combination of innate behaviours and learned experiences to traverse complex environments. Their ...

Social wasps exhibit extraordinary foraging strategies that combine innate behavioural patterns with learned adaptations. Central to their success is the utilisation of olfactory cues, which not only ...

Drone footage captured by Oregon State University researchers off the coast of Newport offers new insights into how a gray whale’s size affects its foraging behavior and what role social learning may ...

Models suggest that the Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) may have a higher risk of extinction as water temperatures increase. Credit: WT Fiege, Wikimedia Commons Fish are changing how they search for and ...

A spat between birds at a backyard birdfeeder highlights the sometimes fierce competition for resources that animals face in the natural world, but some ecologically similar species appear to coexist ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Spatial learning is an important and complex skill in the animal ...

A tiger walks the same worn groove along the edge of its exhibit, like a broken record. A parrot methodically plucks out its ...

Genetics control behavioral sequences that are building blocks for complex behavior patterns. Mice scurry around while foraging for food, but genetics may be the unseen hand controlling these ...

A new study used modern methods to reassess a foundational study in biology that explained how ecologically similar species of wood warblers coexist. The research team examined foraging behavior, ...
