Abstract: Abstract Nest defense behavior helps ground‐nesting birds improve their breeding success. Among such behaviors, injury feigning behavior (IFB) is one of the better ways to attract predators and protect birds' nests. IFB is generally associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-019-2681-0
Abstract: Animals are thought to adjust the intensity of their parental defense to fitness benefits associated with their current reproduction. They should be more defensive when they breed early in the season, when they produce more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-025-01964-z
Abstract: When faced with a predator, parent birds have to choose between current and future breeding. Previous studies have shown that the body condition and personality of parents influence the trade-offs. However, whether body condition and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01187
Abstract: Abstract Human disturbance is caused by the anthropogenic activities in the environment. While human threat to wildlife is considered to be complex (nonlethal recreations and lethal hunting activities). To date, there has been few studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-21248-7
Abstract: Animals exhibit innate defense behaviors in response to approaching threats cued by the dynamics of sensory inputs of various modalities. The underlying neural circuits have been mostly studied in the visual system, but remain unclear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-63062-5
Abstract: Maternal defense, a hallmark of motherhood, often involves protecting offspring at personal risk. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the emergence and modulation of this behavior remain not-well understood. Here, we introduce a novel paradigm in… read more here.
