Abstract: Abstract Navigational performance responds to navigational challenges, and both decline with age in Western populations as older people become less mobile. But mobility does not decline everywhere; Tsimané forager‐farmers in Bolivia remain highly mobile throughout… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.80483
Abstract: Sex differences in vertebrate spatial abilities are typically interpreted under the adaptive specialization hypothesis, which posits that male reproductive success is linked to larger home ranges and better navigational skills. The androgen spillover hypothesis counters… read more here.
