Corvid re-caching without 'theory of mind': a model. [PDF]
, 2012 Scrub jays are thought to use many tactics to protect their caches. For instance, they predominantly bury food far away from conspecifics, and if they must cache while being watched, they often re-cache their worms later, once they are in private.

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1364-1377, October 2026.Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Context-dependent seed dispersal by a scatter-hoarding corvid [PDF]
, 2016 1. Corvids (crows, jays, magpies and nutcrackers) are important dispersers of large-seeded plants. Studies on captive or supplemented birds suggest that they flexibly adjust their scatter-hoarding behavior to the context of social dynamics and relative ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Offshore wind energy is rapidly expanding in the North sea foraging grounds of internationally important seabirds, with predicted impacts on their survival and productivity. Since reduction to breeding colony disturbance is a proposed compensation measure for these impacts, we used a seven‐year dataset of > 1400 black‐legged kittiwake nests at an ...

Friends Aren’t Food: Pinyon Jays (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) Show Context-Dependent Quantity Preference [PDF]
Animal Behavior and CognitionAnimals must often choose between different quantities of objects in their environment, from food items to conspecifics. Yet we know little about how quantitative cognitive abilities compare across different types of objects.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Urban and Rural Goshawks
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We investigated genetic diversity and population structure of Eurasian goshawks (Astur gentilis) across urban, suburban, and rural habitats in Finland using microsatellite markers. Genetic diversity was similar across groups, while differentiation was generally low, with greater differentiation between temporally separated populations than among ...

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Scavengers play a key role in recycling animal biomass, yet the relative contributions of insects and vertebrates to this process remain poorly understood. Moreover, understanding whether one scavenger group can compensate for the absence of another is critical for predicting how carrion decomposition may respond to changes in community ...

Neural correlates of cognitively controlled vocalizations in a corvid songbird
, 2023 Summary: The neuronal basis of the songbird’s song system is well understood. However, little is known about the neuronal correlates of the executive control of songbird vocalizations. Here, we record single-unit activity from the pallial endbrain region

Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by
