Do cockroaches have social personalities? Does this extend to how they respond to environmental change?

What about cockroach groups, do they show behavioural differences in both mean and plasticity of behaviour?

We explore these questions in our latest pre-print, now on bioRxiv: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.29.673046v1

The University of Utrecht is canceling the #WebOfScience and offering training sessions on #OpenAlex.
https://www.uu.nl/en/news/access-to-web-of-science-will-end-on-1-january-2026

"Discontinuing Web of Science is a logical step that fits in with the UU vision on #OpenScience. Closed commercial databases, such as Web of Science, are not in line with our desire to work with open research information as much as possible. The UU signed the #BarcelonaDeclaration in 2024 to this effect. The use of Journal Impact Factors [#JIFs] is also not in line with our vision of Open Science…With the funds freed up by not renewing the licence, we will continue to invest in open source research and infrastructure."

Access to Web of Science will end on 1 January 2026

The university library has decided not to renew the licence for access to the Web of Science citation database (including Journal Citation Reports).

C. elegans uses an "accept-reject" behavioural strategy, based on learned features of its environment, to make decisions about food. This research tackles a core problem in #neuroscience: how neural circuits mediate decision-making.
