In our newly published research in Science Advances, my student Ben Alessio and I propose a potential mechanism explaining how these distinctive patterns form—that could potentially be applied to ...

Researchers are using large language models to decode the communication patterns of animals. Google DeepMind is building DolphinGemma, which studies dolphin sounds to understand them. The Earth ...

A thought experiment can help visualize the challenge of achieving distinctive color patterns. Imagine gently adding a drop of blue and red dye to a cup of water. The drops will slowly disperse ...

And it turns out he was really onto something: Today, scientists studying animal patterns still find Turing’s ideas to be remarkably effective — especially when combined with other factors that ...

Scientists are using machine learning to eavesdrop on naked mole rats, fruit bats, crows and whales — and to communicate back. Naked mole rats live in large, underground colonies and have an elaborate ...
