Teleost fish exhibit extraordinary cognitive skills that are comparable to those of mammals and birds. Kin recognition based on olfactory and visual imprinting requires neuronal circuits that were assumed to be necessarily dependent on the interaction of mammalian amygdala, hippocampus, and isocortex, the latter being a structure that teleost fish are lacking. We show that teleosts-beyond having a hippocampus and pallial amygdala homolog-also have subpallial amygdalar structures. In particular, we identify the medial amygdala and neural olfactory central circuits related to kin imprinting and kin recognition corresponding to an accessory olfactory system despite the absence of a separate vomeronasal organ.

Aggregative multicellularity is a cooperative strategy employed by some microorganisms. Unlike clonal expansion within protected environments during multicellular eukaryotic development, an aggregation strategy introduces the potential for genetic conflicts and exploitation by cheaters, threatening the stability of the social system. , a soil-dwelling bacterium, employs aggregative multicellularity to form multicellular fruiting bodies that produce spores in response to starvation.

Background and objectives Several studies have reported the diurnal variation of febrile seizures (FS) in children. However, it remains unclear whether there is a difference in diurnal variation depending on the types of FS. The present study aims to investigate whether simple FS or complex FS influences diurnal fluctuations.

Infanticide is widespread across the animal kingdom, but the physiological drivers of infanticide versus care or neglect are relatively unexplored. Here, we identified salient environmental and physiological antecedents of infanticide in the mimic poison frog (Ranitomeya imitator), a biparental amphibian. We explored potential environmental cues influencing infant-directed behavior by evaluating changes in the frequency of food provisioning and tadpole mortality after either cross-fostering tadpoles between family units or displacing tadpoles within the terraria of their parents.

Article Synopsis
- Male investment in infant care among polygynandrous primates is linked to factors like offspring survival, social status, and future mating opportunities, with varied relationships observed in white-faced capuchins.
- Genetic paternity analysis and behavioral observations revealed that overall male-female affiliation increased after the birth of an infant, with a notable bias towards male infants in terms of increased contact and proximity.
- The results suggest that male capuchins may not recognize their own offspring, indicating a potential sex-specific socialization trend that fosters long-term male cooperation in this species.
