Honey bees and social wasps reach convergent architectural solutions to nest-building problems (journals.plos.org)
Honey bees and social wasps independently evolved hexagonal cells in their nests, but in some species, cell size dimorphism creates an inherent tiling problem. This study shows that despite independent evolutionary origins, building materials, and comb configurations, all species solve this architectural problem using the same...
Schooling of light reflecting fish (journals.plos.org)
The main goal of this work is three-fold. First, to establish whether models of schooling fish can generate realistic flash waves that propagate across the school in response to an attack. Second, to explore the possibility that school members are using this source of information themselves, and test how that can, in principle,...

The Myth of Man the Hunter: Women’s contribution to the hunt across ethnographic contexts (journals.plos.org)
The sexual division of labor among human foraging populations has typically been recognized as involving males as hunters and females as gatherers. Recent archeological research has questioned this paradigm with evidence that females hunted (and went to war) throughout the Homo sapiens lineage, though many of these authors...

Reddit comments show less respect for female politicians versus their male counterparts, researchers say (journals.plos.org)
Paper: "Though we see relatively equal public interest in male and female politicians, ... this interest may not be equally professional and reverent; female politicians are much more likely to be referenced using their first name and described in relation to their body, clothing and family than male politicians. Finally, we can...

Sensorimotor synchronization to music reduces pain (journals.plos.org)
"In this study, we show that sensorimotor synchronization to music significantly amplifies the pain-reducing effects of music listening. Using pressure algometry to the fingernails, pain stimuli were delivered to n = 59 healthy adults either during music listening or silence, while either performing an active tapping task or a...
