Rodent models have simpler nervous systems, they cannot be used to study complex cognitive behaviour like language but their basic behavioural mechanisms are similar to humans.
Having established basic behavioural dynamics and identified critical habitats, a coastal zone use model was developed.
The problem likely relates to limitations to our understanding of basic behavioural patterns, which can influence our ability to design statistically robust experiments yielding ecologically relevant data.
Therefore, we used the abstract sigmoid regulatory function that captures the basic behavioural features of the LTR promoter (See Supporting Information section 'The gene regulatory function' for full details and justification).
We have tested this hypothesis by using a simple random walk model including basic behavioural processes such as a break in feeding activity when two individuals contact each other.
Sadly he seems to have missed some basic behavioural science here; you see, the very reason I and many other women wear headphones isn't as a trivial obstacle to some throbbing hormone mountain, nor as a challenge for those blessed with an abundance of ego.
An additional advantage is a simpler nervous system offering similar basic behavioural mechanisms.
For details of the model and the basic behavioural rules, see Supplementary material.
