Disturbance cues function as a background risk cue but not as an associative learning cue in tadpoles
Chemical information has an important role in the sensory ecology of aquatic species. For aquatic prey, chemical cues are a vital source of...

A methodological checklist for fMRI drug cue reactivity studies: development and expert consensus
Cue reactivity is one of the most frequently used paradigms in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of substance use disorders...

Ocean Acidification Amplifies the Olfactory Response to 2-Phenylethylamine: Altered Cue Reception as a Mechanistic Pathway?
With carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) levels rising dramatically, climate change threatens marine environments. Due to increasing CO 2 concentrations in the...

Multivariate EEG activity reflects the Bayesian integration and the integrated Galilean relative velocity of sensory motion during sensorimotor behavior
Humans integrate multiple sources of information for action-taking, using the reliability of each source to allocate weight to the data. This...

A partial migrant relies upon a range-wide cue set but uses population-specific weighting for migratory timing
BackgroundMany birds species range over vast geographic regions and migrate seasonally between their breeding and overwintering sites. Deciding when...

Olfactory cues of risk and visual cues of safety interact with sympatry and phylogeny in sha** behavioral responses by littoral fishes
AbstractPrey incorporate information about risk, safety, and the reliability of both of these cues when assessing risk of predation. Here, we report...

Modeling the effect of grazing on carbon and water use efficiencies in grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
BackgroundCarbon and water use efficiencies (CUE and WUE, respectively) are vital indicators of the adaptability of plants to environmental...

Multi-modal cue integration in the black garden ant
In a constantly changing environment, it is advantageous for animals to encode a location (such as a food source) relying on more than one single...

When is it safe to go home? Post-predation assessment of risk and safety when personal information conflicts with social cues
AbstractNavigating risk of predation is a major driver of behavioral decision-making in small fishes. Fish use personal information from olfactory...

Indirect cue of paternity uncertainty does not affect nest site selection or parental care in a Pacific toadfish
AbstractParents are expected to reduce offspring investment when confronted with reliable cues of compromised parentage, yet establishing which cues...

Anti-predator responses to chemical, visual, and combined cues by an estuarine hermit crab from sandy tidal flats
AbstractMany aquatic invertebrates adjust their behavior to the degree of predation risk, which can be inferred from various sensory cues. We...

The use-the-best heuristic facilitates deception detection
Decades of research have shown that people are poor at detecting deception. Understandably, people struggle with integrating the many putative cues...

Odour-imagery ability is linked to food craving, intake, and adiposity change in humans
It is well-known that food-cue reactivity (FCR) is positively associated with body mass index (BMI)
1 and weight change2 , but the mechanisms...

Maternal effects, paternal effects, and their interactions in the freshwater snail Physa acuta
Individuals exposed to predation risk can produce offspring with altered phenotypes. Most work on predation-induced parental effects has focused on...

The effects of long-term exposure to microgravity and body orientation relative to gravity on perceived traveled distance
Self-motion perception is a multi-sensory process that involves visual, vestibular, and other cues. When perception of self-motion is induced using...

Cueing on distant conditions before migrating does not prevent false starts: a case study with African elephants
Migratory animals often use environmental cues to time their seasonal migrations. Local conditions may, however, differ from distant ones, and...

An investigation on the olfactory capabilities of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris)
The extraordinary olfactory capabilities in detection and rescue dogs are well-known. However, the olfactory performance varies by breed and search...

Brain-wide functional connectivity artifactually inflates throughout functional magnetic resonance imaging scans
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a central tool for investigating human brain function, organization and disease. Here, we show that...

Killer whale innovation: teaching animals to use their creativity upon request
Thinking flexibly is a skill that enables animals to adapt to changing environments, which enhances survival. Killer whales, Orcinus orca , as the...

Hearing in African pygmy hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris): audiogram, sound localization, and ear anatomy
The behavioral audiogram and sound localization performance, together with the middle and inner ear anatomy, were examined in African pygmy hedgehogs A...
