The University of Florida’s Veterinary Forensic Sciences Laboratory identifies causes of death in free-roaming cats and investigates animal cruelty. In short: They fight crimes against cats.

Bumblebee cognition looks small only until behavior is measured carefully. Experiments have shown play-like ball rolling that fits established animal-play criteria, and newer work demonstrates social ...

Warble-duets seem linked to active territory-defense. Physical-fights in the wild were always preceded by warble-duets. Playback-experiments also showed that parrots increased warble-duets when ...

Newsweek spoke to Deby Cassill, an associate professor of integrative biology and animal behaviorist at the University of South Florida in Tampa, about what rescue dogs often have to learn and why ...

Social mammals are wildly diverse, given that they can be found across all habitats and species. However, a new line of ...

Scientists have documented same-sex behavior in many animals. Learn what it means, how it varies, and why human labels can mislead.

Abstract: Animals can be identified by using various machine learning techniques among which a hybrid model combines multiple techniques together. In this approach a hybrid model with Convolutional ...

Fossilized footprints are among the most abundant traces dinosaurs left behind. But linking a track to its corresponding ...

Scientists discovered that two brain chemicals in honey bees can predict how fast they will learn, offering new insight into animal learning.

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...
