Understanding the neural and hormonal mechanisms underlying emotions in animals is crucial for elucidating the biological basis of human emotions. CPP assesses an animal's preference for an environment associated with a rewarding or aversive stimulus. While extensively used to study drug effects, the CPP paradigm has been less frequently applied to investigate the effects of natural stimuli. Furthermore, most studies using this paradigm have been conducted with rodents. This study utilizes the CPP paradigm to investigate the rewarding properties of nursing in lactating rabbits, a unique mammalian behavior that occurs once daily. We found that nursing induced CPP in the lactating doe, which we interpret as a positive affective state—an event fulfilling a motivational drive that occurs only every 24 hours.

Underlying social dynamics may influence such instances of grouping behavior. Despite social behavior being an expanding niche in shark science, little is known about the social behavioral patterns of the tiger shark worldwide. Between 2023 and 2024 in Fuvahmulah Island, Maldives, 36 pair-wise non-random social interactions were observed at the provisioning site via video recordings by 40 photo-identified mature female tiger sharks. Social behaviors previously identified in white sharks and tiger sharks across multiple locations, such as <em>give way</em>, <em>swim by</em>, <em>parallel swimming</em>, <em>follow give way</em>, and <em>stand back</em>, have also been documented in tiger sharks from Fuvahmulah Island. Furthermore, this study presents two newly observed antagonistic social behaviors — <em>submission</em> and <em>push away</em> — described here for the first time. Within the mature female tiger shark aggregation in Fuvahmulah, a size-based hierarchy was observed, with certain individuals displaying the majority of dominance and social interactions. The asymmetry in the monthly display of social behaviors suggests an intra-specific variability of tiger shark movements to different home ranges. These findings deepen our knowledge of the tiger shark social behavior, highlighting data gaps in Maldives and ensuring effective conservation measures for this species. Recommendations for future research work at this site are also presented in this paper.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8746,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Processes","volume":"229 ","pages":"Article 105216"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147775","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}

Within <em>Porcellio</em>, such studies are most often conducted with <em>Porcellio scaber</em> (Latreille, 1804) or <em>Porcellio laevis</em> (Latreille, 1804), leaving the extent of TA in other species of <em>Porcellio</em> unexplored. Consequently, TA behavior is often assumed in other genera of isopods, despite the lack of documentation. Therefore, the current study investigated TA in <em>Porcellio spinicornis</em> (Say, 1818) and <em>Trachelipus rathkii</em> (Brandt, 1833) using a commonly employed multiple T-maze. Both <em>P. spinicornis</em> and <em>T. rathkii</em> were found to TA at frequencies significantly above random chance. The data also showed a marginal interaction between group and sex, such that <em>T. rathkii</em> females, but not males, and <em>P. spinicornis</em> males, but not females, significantly TA. The current study provides the first documentation of TA in <em>Porcellio spinicornis</em> and extends this behavior to the genus <em>Trachelipus</em> — broadening our understanding of TA behavior across isopod taxa. Furthermore, the data suggests that TA may follow a pattern of sex-specific selection that could differ among species of terrestrial isopods. Further studies on TA across a broader range of isopod species and genera may reveal important ecological and evolutionary patterns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8746,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Processes","volume":"228 ","pages":"Article 105204"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143881494","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}

Initially, food was placed in the funnel in the first two visits, while on the subsequent three visits, the resource was only offered after the wasp entered the device through the funnel. Our results showed that foragers chose the funnel to enter the Y-maze in search of food. Interestingly, on successive visits, when no food was offered, foragers learned to enter the device more rapidly. In sum, the present research reveals that these wasps exhibit diverse learning capabilities, suggesting that their responses can be modified by the consequences they experience. This is the first study to show empirical evidence of learning processes related to changes in motor responses associated with rewarding outcomes in <em>V. germanica</em>.

Coleoid cephalopods exhibits the individual variation of lateralisation and temperament traits, but it is unrevealed whether there are associations between them. This study investigated whether visual lateralization is associated with temperament traits in oval squid <em>Sepioteuthis lessoniana</em> that exhibits individual variation of visual lateralization. The visual lateralisation was tested for eye preference against prey, predator, and conspecifics. The temperament traits were tested for activity, aggressiveness, exploration-avoidance, shyness-boldness, and sociability. Although activity, aggressiveness, exploration-avoidance, and shyness-boldness showed between-individual consistency, sociability did not show this trend. Moreover, there was not association among temperament traits, suggesting that these traits are independent. The direction of visual lateralisation (left or right) against prey, predator, and conspecifics was positively associated with aggressiveness, exploration-avoidance, and shyness-boldness.

No difference was observed in locomotor in the novel tank patterns (average speed, distance traveled) and open field (homebase occupation and exploration) tests between the WT and G-WT groups. G-WT zebrafish presented higher anxiety-like behavior in the novel tank (increased time spent at the bottom). In the sociability test, the G-WT group spent less time in the conspecific area and kept higher distance from the social area, indicating reduced sociability compared to WT zebrafish.
