Giraffes often travel together to find food and water. We found that adult giraffes, especially females, were most likely to initiate group movements. Youn

Citizen science photographs contain a vast and underused record of species interactions. This Community Page introduces Who Eats Whom, an interactive, searchable food web created from photographs uplo...

Commission an immediate public inquiry into how to ensure a responsible press given its contribution to Dr Arday’s tragic death.

It's easier to measure the benefits than the costs of a trait. Solitary species benefit by avoiding the costs of group living. Thus, measuring benefits of solitary living informs us about the costs o...

Tayane Dalazen was on a shark-diving trip in Brazil when she was attacked.

Diverging needs often occurs among group members, prompting group-living animals to engage in collective decision-making, such as coordinating collective movement. Existing models classify these decis...

It is difficult to overstate the value of images in science. Visualization is often the most effective tool to convey scientific concepts, and the opp…

It’s not just humans who suffer from leading one another astray. So do fish, flies and even bacteria.

Quantifying animal behavior often requires segmenting continuous actions into discrete, interpretable states, yet most automated pipelines infer actions from keypoint dynamics and are limited by keypo...

Thoth was an ancient Egyptian deity of wisdom, writing, magic, and the moon. Manifestations of Thoth took the form of two animal species, the sacred ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus) and sacred baboo...

Abstract. Cognitive responses are linked to consistent individual behavioural variation, but the potential impact of warming on this relationship remains u

Replicating previous research builds confidence that results are real and meaningful. But close replications are rare due to limitations in resources and d

In contrast to chemical pest control, biological control (biocontrol) is generally considered evolutionarily stable, with pests rarely evolving resist…
