Summary: It is important to understand human behavior through situational dimensions represented by human beings. The Riverside Situational Q (RSQ) is a tool for measuring the psychological properties of situations, but its limited item count of 90 in the RSQ-4 may limit its use for researchers employing a computational approach. This article presents a corpus of 10,000 artificially generated situations that closely correspond to the RSQ-4, produced using the state-of-the-art language model GPT. The dataset's validity is confirmed through inter-judge reliability and four experiments on large datasets, supporting its quality. Researchers interested in measuring situational dimensions in textual data may find this dataset and the associated code for generating 100 situational dimensions useful.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of stocking density and dominance hierarchies on the feeding behavior of Pacific white shrimp. Results showed that high stocking density led to a decrease in time spent on feeding areas but an increase in relative feed consumption. Shrimp in low stocking density exhibited higher levels of exploratory behavior, indicating reduced feeding motivation.

Summary: Reproductive division of labour is a characteristic of eusocial insects, but can be disrupted by reproductive potential of otherwise sterile nest-mates. Dominance hierarchy plays a crucial role in regulating reproduction in some species, and dominance hierarchies in eusocial insects involve more individuals than in vertebrates, requiring unique selective forces. This article provides an overview of studies on dominance hierarchies in eusocial insects, specifically focusing on paper wasps and ponerine ants. It explains the emergence of dominance hierarchies as a self-organizing process through individual memory and local behavioral interactions, which can be captured using network analyses. The adaptive significance of dominance hierarchies is also discussed from the perspective of sterile subordinates, emphasizing the importance of kin selection.

Summary: Dominance relationships are important for maintaining social organization in group living animals. This study aimed to estimate the heritability of social organization traits in Nellore cattle and their genetic and phenotypic correlations with feeding behavior, feed efficiency, and growth. The results showed that social organization traits are heritable and genetically correlated with feeding behavior traits, but have little correlation with growth traits.

Summary: This study examined the impact of post-orchiectomy inflammation on social dynamics in Nelore bulls in Brazil. The results showed a close association between the severity of post-surgical inflammation and changes in social hierarchy, potentially due to the effects of pain on social relations.

Summary: This focused review introduces the ubiquity of dominance across the animal kingdom and the modern approach of measuring dominance using Percolation and Conductance (Perc). Perc takes into account the nonlinear hierarchical structure and provides a complementary metric of 'dominance certainty' to assess the degree of ambiguity in rank relationships. The review summarizes studies on the importance of 'dominance certainty' in large captive rhesus macaque breeding groups and concludes with suggestions for future research directions in dominance hierarchy.

Summary: Individuals in dominant and subordinate positions in social hierarchies exhibit different behaviors, physiology, and neural functioning. Dominant animals display higher levels of dominance behaviors and reproductive behaviors, while subordinate animals inhibit these behaviors and adapt to socially stressful contexts. These changes may have short-term benefits but pose long-term challenges to health. Additionally, rapid changes in social ranks are associated with dynamic modulations in the brain and periphery.

Summary: A study found that most social groups follow a "downward heuristic", while a minority display more complex social dominance patterns, suggesting higher levels of social information use. These patterns are not constrained by phylogeny, as different groups within the same species may use different patterns.

Summary: A study on female common vampire bats revealed that their social rank was not influenced by body size, age, reproductive status, or kinship, grooming, and food sharing. Competitive interactions did not affect the social hierarchy among female vampire bats, possibly due to limited direct competition for food in the wild among frequently roosting females.

Summary: A hybrid reference genome of Sepia pharaonis was generated using a combination of long-read and short-read technologies, identifying a total of 51,541 genes, including reflectin genes responsible for controlling body coloration. This new reference genome provides a valuable resource for future studies on the biology, domestication, and selective breeding of the species.

Summary: This article discusses the state of aquaculture breeding and stock supply in the UK, and how innovation in genetics technologies can help achieve the Scottish Government's ambitious target of doubling its aquaculture industry by 2030. The focus is on the four most important UK aquaculture species and contrasts the level of selective breeding and genomics technologies used in each sector. The success of Atlantic salmon farming through large-scale investment in modern breeding programmes is highlighted, along with the potential application of similar technologies to the UK shellfish sectors.

Summary: This study analyzed temporal changes in the microbiome associated with the intestine in Atlantic salmon during smolt production, finding a sharp decline in microbial diversity 1-week post-seawater transfer (SWT) followed by re-establishment with a different community structure after 4 weeks. Core microbial taxa were classified into three categories: omnipresent, salinity specific, and transient. Additionally, an increase in microbial richness in the water was observed, possibly due to a temporal increase in organic load, while dominance of Vibrionaceae was attributed to higher temperatures during RAS production.

Summary: Continuous illumination has been found to positively affect growth and sexual maturation in seasonal-temperate fish species like salmonids. However, studies on tropical fish like Nile tilapia show inconsistent results, with this study finding that different light intensity levels did not significantly affect growth enhancement. Additionally, continuous illumination appeared to influence both growth and gonadal development in Nile tilapia species without notable differences based on the light intensities tested.
