Fish are changing how they search for and consume prey in warmer waters, with models suggesting that extinctions will become more likely due to this behavior change, according to a new study published ...

Dolphins' uncanny intelligence allows for some creative behavior when it comes to mating, gift-giving, and foraging. Now, researchers have a better idea of how they learn some of their food-finding ...

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

Being among the most intelligent creatures on the planet, dolphins are capable of some incredible behaviors, from the clicks and whistles they use to communicate to their incredible acrobatics both ...

Ant foraging behaviour is a paradigmatic example of sophisticated social coordination in the animal kingdom. Central to their success is the use of chemical signals, particularly trail pheromones, ...

Research from Adelaide University and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) has shown for the first time that Australian sea lion pups can learn foraging behavior from their ...

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, ...

For some bottlenose dolphins, finding a meal may be about who you know. Dolphins often learn how to hunt from their mothers. But when it comes to at least one foraging trick, Indo-Pacific bottlenose ...

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 ...

Foraging : an overview / Ronald C. Ydenberg, Joel S. Brown and David W. Stephens -- Models of information use / David W. Stephens -- Neuroethology and foraging / David F. Sherry and John B. Mitchell - ...

Like physical traits, behavioral traits have a heritable component, and personalities may resemble one parent’s more than the other. New research in mice finds that specific complex behaviors in these ...
