Total #SolarEclipse triggers dawn behavior in birds: Insights from acoustic recordings and community science: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx3025 -> "Compiling more than 10,000 community observations and artificial intelligence analyses of nearly 100,000 vocalizations, we found that bird behavior was substantially affected by these few minutes of unexpected afternoon darkness. More than half of wild bird species changed their biological rhythms, with many producing a dawn chorus in the aftermath of the eclipse. This natural experiment underscores the power of light in structuring animal behavior: Even when 'night' lasts for just 4 minutes, robust behavioral changes ensue." -> "Variation in species response also informs us about variation in sensitivity to light, with implications for the impacts of artificial light."

Xia & Lindell have also published a response (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2518837122) – unsurprisingly, we don’t agree with most of their arguments. What puzzles us most is their claim that the re-analysis (their Table 1) "strengthens [their] conclusions." On the contrary:
In the Polysynthesis analysis, Small_Family has a minuscule averaged effect estimate (0.02) with a standard error more than four times larger (0.085). Together with a posterior inclusion probability (PIP) of just 0.085, this means the variable is rarely included in the best-supported models and its estimated effect is highly uncertain – essentially indistinguishable from zero. We therefore still struggle to see how this could be taken as support for their earlier statement that "different measures of language isolation – social, physical and *phylogenetic* – are important predictors of polysynthesis."

Space impacts temporal processing via a visual-dependent spatially organized neural architecture
Establishing the temporal relationship between stimuli challenges the brain, requiring some tolerance for asynchronies to form coherent representations. Based on the theory of implicit causal inference, we hypothesized temporal processing of events is influenced by spatial features as stimuli coming from the same spatial location are most likely to derive from a common source and, consequently, implicitly merged in time. As visual experience guides the formation of neural sensory maps, we expec…
