The influence of boating noise on the parental care behaviors of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) during the summer of 2024 at Douglas Lake, Michigan, USA.
Anthropogenic noise is on the increase and in aquatic systems one of the major sources of noise is boat traffic. For organisms in lakes, rivers, and oceans that are capable of hearing, anthropogenic noise may alter behavior in a number of different ways. Here we did a combination of field and experimental work by locating smallmouth bass nests that were actively being guarded by males. Using an underwater drone, we monitored nest guarding behavior before and after a boat ran by the nest. In addition, we monitored behavior during this period while simultaneously recording boat motor noise. The results showed that the sequence of behavior performed by bass was altered during and after the boat ran by the nest.

Comparing effects of auditory and visual disturbances on smallmouth bass parental care behaviors during the summer of 2025 at Douglas Lake, Michigan, USA
A prevalent source of sensory pollution within aquatic systems is recreational motorboats that can impact aquatic organisms through several exposure mechanisms. Auditory and visual sensory disturbances are particularly important as fish may utilize these cues during critical reproductive behaviors such as parental care. Here, we conducted a field study in Douglas Lake, Michigan, and located wild smallouth bass nests actively guarded by males. We exposed smallmouth bass to two sequential treatments of playback auditory noise and visual disturbances. Using an underwater drone, parental care behaviors of smallmouth bass were monitored before, during, and after both auditory and visual disturbances. The results show that auditory and visual disturbances may alter smallmouth bass parental care behaviors differently.
Divergence in reproductive behaviors is associated with the evolutionary loss of parental care
<p>The mechanisms underlying the divergence of reproductive strategies between closely-related species are still poorly understood. Additionally, it is unclear which selective factors drive the evolution of reproductive behavioral variation and how these traits coevolve, particularly during early divergence. To address these questions, we quantified behavioral differences in a recently diverged pair of Nova Scotian three-spined stickleback (<em>Gasterosteus aculeatus</em>) populations, which vary in parental care, with one population displaying paternal care and the other lacking this. We compared both populations, and a full reciprocal F1 hybrid cross, across four major reproductive stages: territoriality, nesting, courtship, and parenting. We identified significant divergence in a suite of heritable behaviors. Importantly, F1 hybrids exhibited a mix of behavioral patterns, some of which suggest sex-linkage. This system offers fresh insights into the coevolutionary dynamics of reproductive behaviors during early divergence and offers support for the hypothesis that coevolutionary feedback between sexual selection and parental care can drive rapid evolution of reproductive strategies.</p>

Reciprocal F1 hybrids of two inbred mouse strains reveal parent-of-origin and perinatal diet effects on behavior and expression
<p>Raw data and statistical analyses from an experiment to study parent-of-origin and diet-by-parent-of-origin effects on expression and behavior. </p> <p>In this experiment, female NOD/ShiLtJ x C57Bl/6J and C57Bl/6J x NOD/ShiLtJ mice were exposed in utero to one of four diets. After weaning, their whole-brain gene expression, as well as a set of behaviors that model psychiatric disease, were recorded and analyzed.</p> <p>File_S1_README contains detailed descriptions of all included files.</p>

A neural substrate for negative affect dictates female parental behavior
<p>Parental behaviors secure the well-being of newborns and concomitantly limit negative affective states in adults, which emerge when coping with neonatal distress becomes challenging. Whether negative-affect-related neuronal circuits orchestrate parental actions is unknown. Here, we identify parental signatures in lateral habenula neurons receiving bed nucleus of stria terminalis innervation (<sup>BNST</sup>LHb). We find that LHb neurons of virgin female mice increase their activity following pup distress vocalization and are necessary for pup-call-driven aversive behaviors. LHb activity rises during pup retrieval, a behavior worsened by LHb inactivation. Intersectional cell identification and transcriptional profiling associate <sup>BNST</sup>LHb cells to parenting and outline a gene expression in female virgins similar to that in mothers but different from that in non-parental virgin male mice. Finally, tracking and manipulating <sup>BNST</sup>LHb cell activity demonstrates their specificity for encoding negative affect and pup retrieval. Thus, a negative affect neural circuit processes newborn distress signals and may limit them by guiding female parenting.</p>

Parental behavior influence in pediatric dentistry: a randomized observational study
<p>This work examines the influence of parental attitudes on their child's behavior in pediatric dentistry.</p> <p>This prospective randomized observational study was conducted at the pediatric dentistry consultation. All sessions were filmed. Two experts collected data using the modified Venham scale for children and a hetero-rating scale for parents. 20 observers scored with the same tools a randomized selection of recordings of 5 children per group. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.</p> <p>60 children divided into 3 groups of 20: 4 years and under, 5 to 6 years and over 7 years. Internal validation showed a very high correlation (Cronbach's a> 0.920). There is a correlation between parental behavior and that of children in the dental office in the 3 age groups for observers (Cronbach's a> 0.700). </p>
