Precipitation patterns drive seasonal and spatial variation in behavior and physiology within an arid-adapted snake genus, Crotalus
ABSTRACTRegardless of environmental conditions, organisms must maintain thermal and hydration states within tolerable limits, which can be especially challenging in arid environments. To mitigate environmental impacts, organisms may use behavioral...

Finding a path: local search behavior of Drosophila larvae
ABSTRACTOrientation and navigation are essential features of animals living in changing environments. Typically, animals integrate a variety of allothetic and idiothetic cues to achieve their navigational goals. Allothetic cues, such as visual or ...

A fish that escapes towards looming-disk stimuli
ABSTRACTEscape responses are an essential part of the behavioural repertoires of almost all animals. In fish, it is thought that conserved circuits map retinal position to motor activity so that escapes are typically away from visual looming-disk ...

Riparian spiders make pyriform silk attachment discs that stick better when wet than those of terrestrial spiders
ABSTRACTAdhesion in wet conditions presents significant challenges due to the disruptive effects of water on interfacial bonding, spreading and curing. Many organisms have evolved adhesives that adhere strongly in damp or submerged environments. H...
