An analysis of the use of augmented reality and virtual reality as educational resources
Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1761-1775, November 2023., 2023 Abstract In recent years, the utilization of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a transformative approach in education, revolutionizing traditional teaching methods. This study seeks to explore the efficacy of AR and VR as pedagogical resources for enhancing the teaching of the solar system. The research process involved the

Learning and innovation in urban yellow mongooses (Cynictis penicillata)
Ethology, Volume 129, Issue 11, Page 600-611, November 2023., 2023 We presented yellow mongooses, Cynictis penicillata, with problem‐solving puzzle boxes of increasing complexity in three urban locations with differing levels of human contact. The mongooses were able to solve the problem at each stage of complexity, but took the longest during the second and fourth stages of complexity.

Problem solving of wild animals in the Wet Tropics of Queensland, Australia
Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 313-322, April 2023., 2023 Seven species of native Australian animals (including birds, reptiles, placental mammals, and marsupials) have been observed problem solving in the Wet Tropics for the first time. Some species even solved multiple puzzle types. Abstract While many species of animals can solve food‐baited problems, most studies are conducted in captivity, which may not ...

Object neophilia in wild herring gulls in urban and rural locations
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2023, Issue 1-2, January/February 2023., 2023 Living with increasing urbanisation and human populations requires resourcefulness and flexibility in wild animals' behaviour. Animals have to adapt to anthropogenic novelty in habitat structure and resources that may not resemble, or be as beneficial as, natural resources. Herring gulls Larus argentatus increasingly reside in towns and cities to breed

Boreas, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 684-697, July 2022., 2022 Here we present the first fossil record of a bone assemblage that could have been accumulated by New World vultures (Cathartidae). The bone remains were found in an archaeological rockshelter called Gruta do Presépio (GPR), located in the tropical rainforest environment of Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil, where groups of hunters and gatherers ...

Emergent trophic interactions following the Chinook salmon invasion of Patagonia
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Abstract In their native range, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) have strong interactions with a multitude of species due to the annual pulse of marine‐derived nutrients that they deliver to streams and forests when they spawn and die. Over the past few decades, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) has established non‐native populations ...

Monitoring vertebrate biodiversity of a protected coastal wetland using eDNA metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 77-92, January 2022., 2022 We test an eDNA metabarcoding assay as a tool to characterize vertebrate biodiversity in one of the largest coastal wetlands of Chile. We sampled surface water from 49 sites along the entire length of the wetland and detect 91 genera of vertebrates including amphibians, fishes, mammals, and birds. Our results also indicate that the spatial distribution

Wild narrow‐striped mongooses use social information to enhance behavioural flexibility
Ethology, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 253-266, March 2021., 2021 In female narrow‐striped mongooses (Mungotictis decemlineata), we measured neophobia and inhibitory control using novel object tests and a transparent cylinder task, respectively. Additionally, we assessed individual performances in discrimination and reversal learning tasks.
