Lateralization, ie, the different functional roles played by the left and right sides of the brain,
is expressed in two main ways:(1) in single individuals, regardless of a common direction …

The evolutionary significance of hand preferences among non-human primates and humans
has been studied for decades with the aim of determining the origins of the population-level …

Even if for many years hemispheric asymmetries have been considered as a uniquely
human feature, an increasing number of studies have described hemispheric asymmetries …

Animals can show bias in their use of laterally paired organs that do not have any
conspicuous anatomical differentiation between the right and left organs. Like right …

Visual landmarks are important navigational aids to many animals, and when more than one
is available their juxtaposition can convey valuable new information to a navigator about …

Lateralized behaviour in social insects is of biological significance, as certain lateral biases
appear to have emerged in tandem with eusociality, and thus can provide insights into its …

In the last few decades, research on lateralization has expanded our knowledge about the
manifestation, development, and mechanisms of this fascinating feature of nervous systems …

Bees provide a good model to investigate the evolution of lateralization. So far, most studies
focused on olfactory learning and memories in tethered bees. This study investigated …

Laterality is the prevalence of one side of the body to perform motor acts and perceptual
functions. The evolution of directional biases that are consistent across individuals of a …

Left–right asymmetries are consistent differences between the left and right sides and
represent an intriguing feature of molluscan morphology. Interestingly, external …
