Validating non-motivated methods and equipment for studying mouse olfactory behavior
<p>Mouse olfactory behavior has traditionally been difficult to assess due, in part, to the expensive nature of behavioral equipment and the lengthy process of training animals. The present study aims to validate a new behavioral paradigm requiring no prior animal training using existing liquid …

The Influence of Heterogeneous Landscapes on Banded Mongoose (Mungos mungo) Behavior in Northern Botswana: Inferences about Infectious Disease Transmission
… is driven by a complex suite of drivers with behavior and landscape dynamics contributing to epidemics across host-pathogen systems. However, our understanding of the interaction between landscape, behavior, and infectious disease remains limited. In the banded mongoose (Mungos mungo), a novel …

Functional Evolution of Odorant Binding Proteins Genes in Drosophila melanogaster
Adaptive evolution of animals depends on behaviors that are essential for their survival and reproduction. Adaptive evolution has resulted in diverse chemoreceptor families, in which polymorphisms contribute to individual variation in chemosensation, while simultaneously preserving comprehensive …

Regulation of Adult Neurogenesis by the ERK5 MAPK Signaling Pathway and its Functional Implications in Learning and Memory as well as Olfaction
… environmental enrichment activities and olfactory stimulation induce adult neurogenesis. Thus, adult neurogenesis may play an important role in cognition and olfaction. Furthermore, increased neurogenesis has been observed after brain injuries such as stroke and DNA damage, promoting the …

Biological rhythms in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
… optimize resource exploitation by coordinating behaviors and physiology with fluctuating environmental conditions. Such synchronization enables organisms to adjust their physiology, metabolism, and behavior to predictable external cycles. In mosquitoes, circadian rhythmicity has been …
