Vervet monkeys use paths consistent with context‐specific spatial movement heuristics
Animal foraging routes are analogous to the computationally demanding "traveling salesman problem" (TSP), where individuals must find the shortest path among several locations before returning to the start. Humans approximate solutions to TSPs using simple heuristics or "rules of thumb," but our knowledge of how other animals solve multidestination routing problems is incomplete. Most nonhuman ...
متن کاملAnatomic Brain Asymmetry in Vervet Monkeys
Asymmetry is a prominent feature of human brains with important functional consequences. Many asymmetric traits show population bias, but little is known about the genetic and environmental sources contributing to inter-individual variance. Anatomic asymmetry has been observed in Old World monkeys, but the evidence for the direction and extent of asymmetry is equivocal and only one study has es...
متن کامل10491 Results of the break-out group: Movement Data of Vervet Monkeys
Discussions in this group focused on a particular problem that arises in animal movement ecology: how to link data describing movement (i.e. sequential GPScoordinates collected on wild and free-ranging animals) with geographical and environmental context (i.e. properties of the internal and external environment within which the animals move). Our case study comprised a spatio-temporal data set ...
متن کاملContext-specific saccadic adaptation in monkeys
When environmental or sensory conditions change suddenly, the brain must be capable of learning different behavioral modes to produce accurate movements under multiple circumstances. A form of this dual-state adaptation known as "context-specific adaptation" has been widely investigated using the saccade gain adaptation paradigm in humans. In this study, we asked whether or not context-specific...
متن کاملContext-Specific Metabolic Networks Are Consistent with Experiments
Reconstructions of cellular metabolism are publicly available for a variety of different microorganisms and some mammalian genomes. To date, these reconstructions are "genome-scale" and strive to include all reactions implied by the genome annotation, as well as those with direct experimental evidence. Clearly, many of the reactions in a genome-scale reconstruction will not be active under part...
