A total solar eclipse will be visible in North America today. Animals may start acting weirdly as the moon blocks out the sun. Scientists aren't completely sure how eclipses affect animal behavior.

Sealed surfaces, artificial light and constant noise: What is part of everyday life for humans poses major challenges for ...

This blog post addresses behavior across all animal species. It considers what we can learn about behavior when we do not limit our study to just humans. Studying nonhuman animal behaviors is ...

Learn how researchers tested a cow’s behavior and what her tool use reveals about animal intelligence.

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.
