Summary: This study compared the behavior of two rodent species living in different habitats when exploring the same three-dimensional laboratory environment. The research found that while both species exhibited similar behaviors in establishing a home-base, they showed significant differences in mobility and elevation, reflecting their distinct motor abilities and perceived worlds.

Summary: The study found that rats may share food with their cagemate under certain conditions, but this behavior is not altruistically motivated and occurs at a low frequency. The results are inconsistent with claims in the literature that rats are altruistically motivated to share food with other rats.

Summary: VP and OT, two nonapeptides, play critical roles in modulating physiology and social behaviors across vertebrates, showing relatively strong evolutionary conservation in distributions. The distribution of VP and OT neurons in Acomys cahirinus, a gregarious rodent species, was examined, revealing both similarities and sex differences in neuronal populations compared to other rodents. These findings provide foundational knowledge for studying nonapeptide-mediated behavior in social rodents.

Summary: The study found that WhatsApp users in Brazil are willing to correct COVID-19 misinformation, with a focus on providing corrections to groups and senders. Users with lower education levels and younger age groups are less inclined to offer corrections. Perceived severity of COVID-19 and the ability to critically evaluate messages positively influence correction behaviors.

Summary: The study indicates that participants are more likely to help victims in emergencies when sharing the same space. Therefore, controlling spatial arrangement is crucial when investigating helping behavior. This study highlights the importance of virtual reality in examining the impact of space on pro-social behavior during emergencies.

Summary: This review presents the blind mole rat as an ideal neuroethological model for studying aggressive and solitary behaviors, discussing its unique behavioral phenotype and specialized sensory adaptations. Comparative studies between the blind mole rat and social rodents can provide important insights into the neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders in humans.

Summary: With the rapid growth of the smart terminal industry and User-Generated Content products, Social Media Applications (SMA) products, represented by TikTok, have experienced significant growth. This paper focuses on studying the visual attention quality in SMA, using the layout of SMA as an example. Eye movement and behavior experiments were conducted to verify hypotheses, providing objective and quantitative data support for SMA product design and operation.

Summary: The study examines the mechanisms behind the use of silk constructions for protection among Embioptera insects and explores the relationship between non-kin group formation and dispersal. The research shows that adult females have a higher survival rate when joining silk structures and prefer larger trees for settlement. These findings shed light on the decision-making and breeding behavior of the species.

Summary: This study examines the relationships among knowledge sharing, adaptability, and performance, and explores the potential differences in these relationships between organizational sectors. The findings suggest that more agile work groups are better able to realize the benefits of a knowledge sharing organizational culture. Interestingly, there is little variation in these benefits among organizations operating in different sectors within mainland China.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of social norms on promoting socially responsible consumption behavior in the context of shared bicycles, finding that injunctive norms have a stronger influence than descriptive norms, and that rewards are more effective than punishments in promoting socially responsible consumption behavior. This study highlights the social responsibility of consumers towards their peers in the sharing economy, an aspect that has been overlooked in previous research. Furthermore, this research reveals a unique influence mechanism of social norms on promoting socially responsible consumption through reciprocity motivation. These findings extend the understanding of the focus theory of normative conduct and offer valuable insights for promoting socially responsible consumption behavior in the sharing economy.

Summary: Developmental vitamin D (DVD)-deficiency is a known risk factor for autism, and recent studies also suggest the involvement of gut microbiome/gut physiology in autism. This study investigated the impact of DVD-deficiency on autism-relevant behavioral phenotypes and gut health in an animal model. The results showed that DVD-deficient rat dams displayed altered maternal care, DVD-deficient pups exhibited increased ultrasonic vocalizations and social behavior impairments as adolescents, and there were significant changes in gut microbiome, villi length, and ileal propionate levels associated with DVD-deficiency. Overall, this study provides evidence that DVD-deficiency can lead to a broader range of autism-related behavioral phenotypes and alterations in gut health.

Summary: The research examines the impacts of learning goal orientation (LGO) and performance-prove goal orientation (PPGO) on employee knowledge sharing, and whether these relationships are altered by leaders' boundary spanning behavior (BSB). The findings show that employees with a high LGO are more likely to engage in knowledge sharing, while employees with a high PPGO are less likely to show knowledge sharing. Moreover, the research reveals that highly learning oriented employees tend to engage in knowledge sharing under leaders who demonstrate active BSB.

Summary: The study found a positive association between mothers' positive emotional expressiveness and children's sharing behavior, moderated by children's baseline RSA. The emotional climate within the family can play a crucial role in fostering sharing behavior, especially for children with lower levels of physiological regulation.
