Behavioural flexibility allows ectotherms to exploit the environment to govern their metabolic physiology, including in response to environmental stress.Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a widespread environmental toxin that can lethally inhibit metabolism.However, H2S can also alter behaviour and physiology, including a hypothesized induction of hibernati
Several mammalian species exhibit complex, nested social organizations, termed multi-level or modular societies.Multi-level societies comprise stable core units that fission and fuse with one another in a hierarchical manner, forming groups that vary in size over time.Among nonhuman primates, these social systems have been confirmed in several Afri

Black il barone wine soldier fly larvae are a sustainable protein source and play a vital role in the emerging food-waste recycling industry.One of the challenges of raising larvae in dense aggregations is their rise in temperature during feeding, which, if not mitigated, can become lethal to the larvae.We propose applying air-fluidization to circu
