Tracking how magnetism affects animal behavior — ScienceDaily

For over 50 years, scientists have observed that the behaviour of a wide variety of animals can be influenced by the Earth’s magnetic field. However, despite decades of research, the…

Childhood trauma linked to civic environmental engagement, green behavior — ScienceDaily

Experiencing childhood trauma may lead an individual to volunteer, donate money or contact their elected officials about environmental issues later in life, according to recent research published in Scientific Reports.…

Study finds ants aren’t altering behavior in rising temperatures — ScienceDaily

Researchers at North Carolina State University found in a recent study that ants did not adjust their behavior in response to warming temperatures and persisted in sub-optimal microhabitats even when…

Researchers studied swarm behavior of microswimmers — ScienceDaily

Seemingly spontaneously coordinated swarm behaviour exhibited by large groups of animals is a fascinating and striking collective phenomenon. Experiments conducted by researchers at Leipzig University on laser-controlled synthetic microswimmers now…

Invasive rats transform reef fish behavior — ScienceDaily

Scientists have discovered for the first time that invasive rats on tropical islands are affecting the territorial behaviour of fish on surrounding coral reefs. The new study, led by scientists…

COVID testing programs may increase risky behavior, research suggests — ScienceDaily

Frequent, mandatory surveillance testing was one of the techniques deployed in some jurisdictions in an attempt to control COVID-19, but new research shows that such testing may have the unintended…

Findings support role of the default mode network in guiding goal-directed behavior and value-based decision making — ScienceDaily

Researchers have reported findings that add to our knowledge of how human behavior may be shaped by the default mode network, a specific network of brain regions with both resting…

Moral illusions may alter our behavior — ScienceDaily

Just as optical illusions can fool the eye to present a distorted image of reality, moral illusions can fool our decision-making ability, making us more selfish. This is the conclusion…
