Animal Behavior
3 reportsAnimal Behavior is investigated through experiments and observations spanning molecules, cells, organisms, populations, or ecosystems. Current understanding relies on social behavior, animal cognition, and primary observations, with uncertainty tracked across measurement, classification, and reconstruction.
Questions about how behavior is observed and coded are tested against behavioral ecology and communication signals. A second focus is what experiments reveal about cognition, showing how sparse measurements or incomplete records limit certainty.

Drone Uses Tactile Sensing to Perch on Branches and Save Power
Researchers at TU Delft have built a drone that uses tactile sensors to locate and grip branches, allowing it to perch in cluttered environments and conserve battery by shutting down its motors once attached
Robots Document Tibetan Antelope Migration in China's High-Altitude Reserve
DEEP Robotics has deployed its Lynx M20 wheeled-legged robot in the Serling Tso Nature Reserve to collect visual data on Tibetan antelope migration, testing the system's ability to operate in extreme plateau conditions with minimal wildlife disturbance
Satellite Images Reveal Penguin Diet Shifts on Antarctica's Danger Islands
NASA's Landsat 8 satellite and drone surveys have enabled researchers to monitor Adélie penguin colonies on the Danger Islands by analyzing the color of their guano, offering new insight into how changing sea ice may affect Antarctic food webs
