Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the
direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this …

Recent evidence suggests that a variety of organisms may harness some of the unique
features of quantum mechanics to gain a biological advantage. These features go beyond …

Migration, broadly defined as directional movement to take advantage of spatially distributed
resources, is a dramatic behaviour and an important component of many life histories that …

Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has traditionally been considered
unique to humans. However, research has shown that this phenomenon is widespread …

Most mathematical models for the spread of disease use differential equations based on
uniform mixing assumptions or ad hoc models for the contact process,,. Here we explore the …

For centuries, humans have been fascinated by how migratory animals find their way over
thousands of kilometres. Here, I review the mechanisms used in animal orientation and …

Many species travel in highly organized groups,,. The most quoted function of these
configurations is to reduce energy expenditure and enhance locomotor performance of …

The second edition of The Lateralized Brain provides for readers a volume detailing the
functional and structural differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

The strong predominance of right-handedness appears to be a uniquely human
characteristic, whereas the left-cerebral dominance for vocalization occurs in many species …
