Animals learn certain complex tasks remarkably fast, sometimes after a single experience.
What behavioral algorithms support this efficiency? Many contemporary studies based on …

The deer mouse (genus Peromyscus) is the most abundant mammal in North America, and it
occupies almost every type of terrestrial habitat. It is not surprising therefore that the natural …

Sexually dimorphic behaviors, qualitative or quantitative differences in behaviors between
the sexes, result from the activity of a sexually differentiated nervous system. Sensory cues …
