Mingzi Xu & Lata Kalra explore two @plosbiology.org studies that identify a hotspot of animal #communication signal tempos between 0.5-4 Hz, hypothesizing that delta waves in the receivers’ #brains may drive its #evolution 🧪 Paper #1: plos.io/4ccWuhh Paper #2: plos.io/4ejLRcl Primer: plos.io/4egZ71l
🚨Very happy to share our new paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! 🦉
We show that barn owl colour morphs do not simply experience moonlight differently — they hunt differently under it.
White morphs appear to turn bright moonlight into a hunting advantage.

Mirror-mediated localization of hidden objects is well documented in vertebrates1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 but has never been demonstrated in inverteb…
Social cohesion varies across species. Solitary animals minimise social contact to reduce costs such as resource competition, aggression, and disease transmission. Solitary Testudo hatchlings can rely...
