One of the best examples of a natural behavioral syndrome is the pollen-hoarding syndrome in honeybees that ties together multiple behavioral phenotypes, ranging from foraging behavior to behavioral ontogeny and learning performance. A central behavioral factor is the bees' responsiveness to sucrose, measured as their proboscis extension reflex. This study examines the genetics of this trait in...

Scatter-hoarding rodents can act as both predators and dispersers for many large-seeded plants because they cache seeds for future use, but occasionally forget them in sites with high survival and establishment probabilities. The most important fruit or seed trait influencing rodent foraging behavior is seed size; rodents prefer large seeds because they have higher nutritional content, but this...

Scatter-hoarding animals face the task of maximizing retrieval of their scattered food caches while minimizing loss to pilferers. This demand should select for mnemonics, such as chunking, i.e. a hierarchical cognitive representation that is known to improve recall. Spatial chunking, where caches with the same type of content are related to each other in physical location and memory, would be o...

Emotion regulation (ER) problems, as operationalised by the Difficulties in ER Scale (DERS), have been identified transdiagnostic features of psychopathology. The objectives were to synthesise evidence identify whether (a) difficulties are associated with hoarding and (b) if particular hoarding. Peer-reviewed studies published dissertations measuring association between DERS via PsycINFO, CINAH...

This paper investigates the impact of recent recessions on origins productivity growth. We show how business cycles affect growth, with particular attention for job reallocation and labor hoarding. find evidence that induce enhancing in manufacturing but not services industries hoarding mitigates this cleansing effect recessions. Furthermore, we entry exit firms industry dynamics shape evolutio...

I test and find supporting evidence for the precautionary motive hypothesis of liquidity hoarding U.S. commercial banks during global financial crisis. that held more liquid assets in anticipation future losses from securities write-downs. Exposure to their investment portfolios expected loan (measured by loss reserves) represent key measures banks’ on-balance sheet risks, addition off-balance ...

The paper examines the impact of monetary policy on bank liquidity hoarding. Using novel measures to capture hoarding in Vietnam during 2007–2019, we find that banks decrease total and all three components (asset-, liability-, off-balance sheet items) when central injects more money into economy. An interesting result appears document hoard event lowered interest rates. Our additional analysis ...

During the past few decades, obesity has risen significantly in the United States with recent estimates showing that 65% of Americans are overweight and 30% are obese. This increase is a major cause for concern because obesity is linked to many secondary health consequences that include type II diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Current approaches to the obesity problem primarily have focused...
