The behaviour of the iconic ichnogenus Chondrites is re-evaluated based on review of
existing literature and analysis of novel data (macroscopic, thin section and ESEM-EDX …

The energetic cost of locomotion can be a substantial proportion of an animal's daily energy
budget and thus key to its ecology. Studies on myriad species have added to our knowledge …

The nests built by social insects are among the most complex structures produced by animal
groups. They reveal the social behaviour of a colony and as such they potentially allow …

How memory shapes animals' movement paths is a topic of growing interest in ecology, with
connections to planning for conservation and climate change. Empirical studies suggest that …

Both human and insect societies depend on complex and highly coordinated infrastructure
systems, such as communication networks, supply chains and transportation networks. Like …

Within comparative psychology, the evolution of animal cognition is typically studied either
by comparing indirect measures of cognitive abilities (eg, relative brain size) across many …

Highlights•We studied landscape drivers of chimpanzee ranging in a rugged, montane
environment.•Chimpanzees used a network of repeatedly used routes across their …

We investigate diffusive search on planar networks, motivated by tubular organelle networks
in cell biology that contain molecules searching for reaction partners and binding sites …

Pollinators, such as bees, face the complex challenge of efficiently exploiting patchily
distributed floral resources across large landscapes. In the present study we consider the …

Renewable resources like fish stock or forests should be exploited at a rate that supports
regeneration and sustainability—a complex problem that requires adaptive approaches to …
