The scientific utility of Eugène Dubois’ Pithecanthropus erectus (P.e.) Skullcap (Trinil 1), Femur I (Trinil 3) and associated paleontological specimens has been impaired for over a century by questions about their provenience. Firsthand accounts and contemporaneous field photographs, presented here, extensively…

Linguistic laws, which describe common statistical patterns in human language, are often studied in animal communication systems. Despite good evidence for adherence to these laws in non-human primate communication, there is still a paucity of data on other taxa. Birdsong is often used as a model for human language…

Linguistic laws, which describe common statistical patterns in human language, are often studied in animal communication systems. Despite good evidence for the existence of these laws in non-human primates, data is still limited for other taxa. Birdsong is often used as a model for human language development due to…

Investigators conducting behavioral experiments often need precise control over the timing of the delivery of stimuli to subjects and to collect the precise times of the subsequent behavioral responses. Furthermore, investigators want fine-tuned control over how various multi-modal cues are presented. behaviorMate…

Vocal exchange or turn-taking - an interaction in which vocalizer alternation occurs at very short intervals to avoid overlapping vocalizations - occurs not only in human conversation but also in animal communications, characterized by temporal regularities in the timing of spontaneous and response vocalizations. This…

Songs play an important role in mate choice for a range of bird species. Many female birds show preferences for specific song features, such as complexity and temporal characteristics, or song familiarity. These features may indicate male quality, or help females to identify locally adapted or genetically compatible…

Salmonella is a significant public health pathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from gastroenteritis to invasive non-typhoidal salmonellosis (iNTS) and enteric fever. Although advancements in whole genome sequencing (WGS) have improved surveillance and outbreak investigations, traditional…

Cultivation of Robusta coffee is likely to gain importance because of its high disease resistance and climate envelope, but substantial effort must be made to improve its cupping quality and other agronomic traits. Robusta coffee genetic resources conserved in field genebanks can play an important role in this context…
