Environmentally appropriate social behavior is critical for survival across the lifespan. To
support this flexible behavior, the brain must rapidly perform numerous computations taking …

The collective behavior of animal groups emerges from the interactions among individuals.
These social interactions produce the coordinated movements of bird flocks and fish …

Motion is the basis of nearly all animal behavior. Evolution has led to some extraordinary
specializations of propulsion mechanisms among invertebrates, including the mandibles of …

Particle size-dependent biological effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are of great
interest; however, the mechanism of action of silver ions (Ag+) released from AgNPs …

Locating sound sources such as prey or predators is critical for survival in many vertebrates.
