Self-grooming of the antennae is frequently observed in ants. This antennal maintenance behavior is presumed to be essential for effective chemical communication but, to our knowledge, this has not yet been well studied. When we removed the antenn...
Three-dimensional (3D) root system architecture (RSA) is a predominant factor in anchorage failure in trees. Only a few studies have used 3D laser scanners to evaluate RSA, but they do not check the accuracy of measurements. 3D laser scanners can ...

<p>In recent ethological studies, the behaviors and interactions of animals have been recorded by digital video cameras and webcams, which provide high functionality at reasonable cost. However, extracting the behavioral data from these videos is ...
A computer program that tracks animal behavior, thereby revealing various features and mechanisms of social animals, is a powerful tool in ethological research. Because honeybee colonies are populated by thousands of bees, individuals co-exist in ...
Social activities are among the most striking of animal behaviors, and the clarification of their mechanisms is a major subject in ethology. Honeybees are a good model for revealing these mechanisms because they display various social behaviors, s...
