Many animals rely on persistent internal representations of continuous variables for working
memory, navigation, and motor control. Existing theories typically assume that large …

Inner ear morphogenesis requires tightly regulated epigenetic and transcriptional control of
gene expression. CHD7, an ATP-dependent chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein …

Rhythmic patterns in interactive contexts characterize human behaviours such as
conversational turn-taking. These timed patterns are also present in other animals, and often …

Urbanization leads to the restructuring of plant-animal interactions due to environmental
changes and introduction of non-native species that become part of local ecological …

Beta oscillations in human sensorimotor cortex are hallmark signatures of healthy and
pathological movement. In single trials, beta oscillations include bursts of intermittent …

Sex differences in vertebrate spatial abilities are typically interpreted under the adaptive
specialization hypothesis, which posits that male reproductive success is linked to larger …

Species diversity depends on the capacity of species to coexist, and when these share
similar ecological requirements some degree of partitioning of the ecological niche is …

Long-distance migration, common in passerine birds, is rare and poorly studied in bats.
Piloting a 1.2-gram IoT (Internet of Things) tag with onboard processing, we tracked the daily …

Background A broad range of scientific studies involve taking measurements on a circular,
rather than linear, scale (often variables related to times or orientations). For linear …

This study investigates the goal/habit imbalance theory of compulsion in obsessive-
compulsive disorder (OCD), which postulates enhanced habit formation, increased …
