@nev it can happen that for example depending on the #mobility of the #beetle species and its #strategy to perform its #selfcleaning #behaviors that #phoretic and #parasitic #mites can be limited to small numbers only on an even relatively large #beetle. Most Scarabaeidae develop in #soilhabitats. But when it is #decayingwood or #compost, then this improves the probability that it has associations with phoretic mites. In beetles, #phoreticmites can sometimes be hidden under the elytrae.

Please also like my newest #YouTube #video, showing some #behaviors of the #beetle #Mimela #junii (#Scarabaeidae), which is a #neozoon in #CentralEurope and Germany. It originally is #native to the #Mediterranean region. My video shows #selfcleaning behavior, #locomotion, #flying ssprcts and response to threat (#thanatosis).

Another example using path attraction (hexagon), dynamic targets/attractors (here changing every N frames) and a mix of the usual flocking sub-behavior ingredients: separation, alignment, cohesion

#Homo #naledi may have made etchings on cave walls and buried its dead
A species of ancient human with a brain the size of a chimpanzee’s may have engraved symbols on cave walls and deliberately buried its dead.
These new discoveries about Homo naledi, a supposedly primitive hominin, could potentially prompt a rethink of the #origins of #complex #behaviors once thought to be only the domain of large-brained humans like us.
“It’s a remarkable thing. My mind is blown,” says Lee Berger at the National Geographic Society in Washington DC, who led the research. “Much of what we thought about the origin of intelligence and the cognitive powers of having a big brain clearly just died,” he says, though other researchers who spoke to New Scientist question this view.
H. naledi was discovered in 2013 in the Rising Star cave system in South Africa when two cavers squeezed through an incredibly tight passage into a hitherto-unexplored chamber littered with fossil bones.
In 2015, it was declared that these belonged to a new species. We now know that this hominin was around 144 centimetres tall and had a mix of primitive and modern features, with a brain a third of the size of ours
