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, ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — When a total solar eclipse transforms day into night, will tortoises start acting romantic? Will giraffes gallop? Will apes sing odd notes? Researchers will be standing by to observe ...

Less than a week from now, when the sun partially disappears behind Long Island's moon — and entirely in places like upstate New York — many of the Earth's creatures will react to the eclipse. Not all ...

Applying principles of foraging ecology to zoo-housed animals can positively influence animal behavior, and assist with evaluating exhibit space and design. In this study, we implemented zoo foraging ...

Ecologists have long sought clarity on the dietary habits of different animal species. For scientists, it wasn't obvious how herbivores in Yellowstone National Park, who subsist on grasses, ...

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 ...
