Mental Fatigue: The Hidden Trigger for Aggression and Conflict

A new study supports the controversial 'ego depletion' theory, suggesting that mental fatigue from making difficult decisions can lead to aggressive behavior by wearing down brain areas responsible for self-control. Researchers from the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca found that participants who engaged in mentally exhausting tasks showed increased hostility and reduced cooperation, linked to sleep-like activity in brain regions related to decision-making. These findings, published in PNAS, highlight the impact of mental fatigue on behavior, though the theory remains debated.

Bottlenose dolphins have been observed attacking manatee calves near Belize over a 21-year period, displaying aggressive behavior such as attempting to separate calves from their mothers, harassing, ramming, and biting them.

Orcas Ambush Racing Yacht in Gibraltar Strait

A racing yacht, Team JAJO's, was attacked by a pod of orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar, with underwater video capturing the whales ramming into the rudders. The crew managed to drive the whales away after several attacks. This incident is part of a series of aggressive encounters between orcas and boats in the area, with over 20 incidents reported in May alone. One killer whale, named Gladis, is believed to be teaching others to attack yachts, possibly seeking revenge for past trauma. The attacks have raised concerns among sailors navigating the strait.

Orcas Toss Yacht with Ease in Aggressive Display.

A pod of orcas attacked a yacht in the Strait of Gibraltar, stripping it of its rudders. The incident is one of 20 seemingly calculated orca attacks on human vessels in the past month alone. While the orcas could have easily broken the boat, the sailors believe the whales were playing with the rudder. Scientists believe the behavior originated with a traumatized female orca nicknamed White Gladis, and other adult orcas are teaching it to their pods. It remains unclear if the behavior will become more aggressive or spread further.

Rise in Aggressive Bee Behavior in Southern California Communities.

Some Southern California communities are experiencing unusual aggressive bee behavior, with Pasadena hiring a bee expert to deal with vicious swarms and Encino still reeling from a recent attack on a volunteer police officer. Bee experts say the behavior is unusual for the species, who do not attack humans unprovoked. The aggressive bees in Encino must have been "disturbed," according to one expert. Pasadena has instituted a measure to relocate aggressive bees in light of a recent attack there.

Hormonal factors influence aggression in response to peer victimization and diet.

Adolescents with high or low levels of testosterone and cortisol are more likely to react aggressively when victimized or provoked by peers, according to a study in Spain. The study also found that girls' aggressive responses were associated with the ratio of these two hormones. The research sheds light on the link between hormone concentrations and complex behavior, but has limitations, including that hormone concentration measures were taken only during one time of the day and assessments of victimization and perpetration were exclusively based on self-reports.
