Starlings" migratory behavior found to be inherited, not learned
Young, naïve starlings are looking for their wintering grounds independently of experienced conspecifics. Starlings are highly social birds throughout the year, but this does not mean that they copy the migration route from each other......»»
Quantum material exhibits "non-local" behavior that mimics brain function
We often believe computers are more efficient than humans. After all, computers can complete a complex math equation in a moment and can also recall the name of that one actor we keep forgetting. However, human brains can process complicated layers o.....»»
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC The Teal Mask arrives in September
We learned a lot more about The Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which drops on September 13......»»
Novel research takes marine conservation tools to a new dimension
In the new article "Incorporating multidimensional behavior into a risk management tool for a critically endangered and migratory species" published in Conservation Biology, researchers combined data on the diving behavior of East Pacific leatherback.....»»
Carbon dioxide, not water, triggers explosive basaltic volcanoes
Geoscientists have long thought that water—along with shallow magma stored in Earth's crust—drives volcanoes to erupt. Now, thanks to newly developed research tools at Cornell, scientists have learned that gaseous carbon dioxide can trigger explo.....»»
Animal study shows a father"s care could slow aging, alter brains and behavior
Fathers who pay attention and care for their sons can mold their progeny's developing nervous system and influence their offspring's future behavior, according to University of Virginia researchers who studied rodent parents and pups......»»

Languages are both acquired and learned, so conscious and unconscious effort is needed when picking up a new one
Two concepts—acquisition and learning—play key roles in the study of language. Although there are people who use the two terms interchangeably, in reality they embody two different processes in the development of communicative competence......»»
Current data on cycling behavior neglects equity-deserving groups, study suggests
The limitations of Statistics Canada's cycling data are having a real-world impact on women and marginalized people participating in cycling, a new study finds. The study, "What Gets Counted Counts: Equity as a Lens to Rethink the Categorization of C.....»»

Taking the quest to more accurately measure ancient ocean temperatures to the atomic level
Carbon dioxide levels in Earth's atmosphere—and, consequently, ocean temperatures—are rising. How high and how fast ocean temperatures can rise can be learned from temperature measurements of ancient oceans. At the same time, energy exploration a.....»»
Machine learning meets behavioral neuroscience: Allowing for a more precise phenotyping
A new computer program allows scientists to observe the behavior of multiple animals simultaneously and over extended periods, while automatically analyzing their motion. What may seem obvious marks a significant milestone, and paves the way for robu.....»»
Opinion: To get rid of hazing, clarify what people think is acceptable behavior and redefine what it means to be loyal
My husband and I spent a late August day several years ago settling in our oldest child, Andrew, for the start of his first year at college. We went to Walmart to buy a mini fridge and rug. We hung posters above his bed. We attended the obligatory go.....»»
Study reveals structures of six states of a rotary sodium ion pump
Six structures exhibited by the rotating sodium ion pump were reconstructed in 3D using cryo-electron microscopy. This analysis revealed that the rotor exhibits non-uniform rotation behavior due to partial structural interference with the stator comp.....»»
