Food Calls
Hungry bats: Listen up
Febrero 11, 2025
Spix’s disc-winged bats shrieked when they were first shown mealworms, a new food for them. Were they alarmed, or were they communicating their excitement to their fellow bats?

The Natural History of Bees
Abril 30, 2025
Did you know that there are more than 20,500 species of bees, each with its own natural history?
Monkey-nappers!
A group of capuchin monkeys caught on-camera with abducted baby howler monkeys
Mayo 19, 2025
Observations of Coiba’s tool-using immature capuchin monkeys show them carrying abducted infant howler monkeys. What is the reason for this behavior?
Living Small in a Big City
Túngara frog tadpoles that grew up in the city developed faster but ended up being smaller.
Junio 30, 2025
Have you ever wondered how city life affects animals like frogs? A new study reveals that urban Túngara frog tadpoles develop faster —but end up being smaller — than tadpoles from forests, probably resulting in smaller adults. This might be an adaptation to warmer urban puddles with fewer predators or to constantly changing environmental conditions in the city.

In our lab, we investigate sensory and cognitive mechanisms underlying animal behavior. Animals use a wide array of cues and signals to glean information about their environment. An animal’s sensory and perceptual systems filter incoming stimuli and define an animal’s Umwelt, or the...
