Our previous study demonstrated that weanling male rats (3 weeks old) could develop conditioned flavor preferences when low, but not high, concentrations of sucrose solutions were used as unconditioned stimuli (USs). To confirm and extend these findings, we examined whether weanling male rats could acquire flavor learning when the USs were glucose, fructose, vegetable oil, or umami substances such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and inosine monophosphate (IMP). During the acquisition phase, the rats consumed water with one flavor (cherry or grape) and a US solution with another flavor (grape or cherry) on alternative days over 6 consecutive days. The rats developed significant preferences for the flavor previously paired with 2 % glucose, 2 % vegetable oil, or a mixture of 0.05 M MSG and 0.01 M IMP. They exhibited significant aversions to flavors paired with 30 % fructose but showed no flavor learning when paired with 30 % glucose, 2 % fructose, 10 or 50 % vegetable oil, 0.05 or 0.1 M MSG, or 0.01 M IMP. The acquired flavor preferences for vegetable oil and the MSG and IMP mixture persisted into adulthood (20 weeks old).

Both breeds exhibited increased activity and reduced rumination and resting time as thermal stress intensified across CCI categories.

The present study aimed to replicate and extend these findings in a Japanese context, investigating whether the ability to interpret dog emotions generalizes across cultures. Japanese participants (N = 342) were shown photographs of three dog breeds previously used by Burza et al. (2022) and asked to presume the dog's emotional state. Results revealed that Japanese participants identified presumed dog emotions at levels significantly above chance, both when viewing full-face images and eye-only images. Accuracy was notably higher for full-face images, supporting the idea that broader facial context enhances accurate identification of emotion. Dog ownership had no effect on accuracy, and participants' ability to recognize human emotions did not predict their performance with dogs. This suggests that interpreting canine emotions may rely on distinct cognitive mechanisms. Whereas the overall findings replicate previous results from Western populations, some cross-cultural differences emerged in which specific emotions were most accurately identified. These differences underscore the cultural factors and perceptual biases in cross-species emotion interpretation. In sum, the study suggests that humans possess a moderate but consistent ability to interpret dog emotions from facial cues, and that this capacity, whereas partially universal, may be shaped by cultural context.</p>","PeriodicalId":8746,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Processes","volume":" ","pages":"105246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144793371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, in the QDT, the kea exhibited a preference for selecting two pieces of reward over one, with higher success rates observed in the setup with visible rewards.

Still, few studies have addressed the impact of non-masking noise on animal vocal behavior. A previous experiment showed that vermilion flycatchers (<em>Pyrocephalus rubinus</em>) avoid singing during peaks of noise that partially mask their songs, suggesting this is a strategy to improve communication in masking noise. If this were the case, we expect that males should continue to sing when exposed to non-masking noise. Here we tested this idea by exposing 21 free-living males, via a speaker, to edited non-masking traffic noise with maximum frequencies of 2 kHz and 1 kHz. We compared the number of songs the focal male sang in a bout before, during and after noise playback. A low but significant proportion of males immediately stopped singing after the onset of 1 kHz (4/21) and 2 kHz (8/21) filtered noise playbacks. Number of songs between treatments did not differ when males were exposed to the 2 kHz filtered noise playback. However, males sang fewer songs after 1 kHz filtered noise exposure than before exposure. Our study does not discard the possibility that males reduce masking when stopping to sing during noise peaks, but it shows that masking release is not required for males to stop singing. Non-masking noise can disrupt bird song, potentially affecting sexual selection and breeding.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8746,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Processes","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 105239"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144706122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
