CursusThe experiment showed that dogs are more likely to help people in order to receive a treat, rather than out of altruistic motives. The presence of the owner or a stranger had little effect on their behavior.
CursusUsing a robotic model of a rattlesnake, scientists have discovered that the fear of its rattle among animals living near snakes is innate. This sound serves as an effective warning signal that is hardwired at the genetic level.
CursusStudies have shown that most animals and humans use a similar rhythm to transmit signals—about 2 hertz—which is linked to the way nerve cells function. This universal tempo forms the basis of both natural communication and popular musical rhythms.
NaturaIn the cloud forests of Costa Rica, researchers have discovered that sloths, margays, and other mammals use the canopies of certain trees as communal toilets. This finding changes our understanding of animal behavior and their communication within tropical ecosystems.
CursusA large-scale study found that people often prefer the same mating signals in animals that attract females in nature. Aesthetic preferences for sounds are shaped by similar biological principles across different species.
CursusAn Austrian cow named Veronika surprised scientists by consciously using different parts of a single tool to groom herself. Previously, such versatile use of objects had only been observed in chimpanzees.
NaturaA new study has shown that over the past 500 years, the disappearance of large groups of animals and plants has been extremely rare and mostly limited to specific regions. The current biodiversity crisis has not yet reached the scale of past mass extinctions, but it still poses serious threats.
