Corvid cognition

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2014
Numerous myths and legends across the world have suggested that corvids are intelligent. However, it is only in the last two decades that their cognition has become the subject of serious scientific investigation. Here I review what we currently know about the temporal, social, and physical cognition of this group.

Transmission dynamics of West Nile virus in mosquitoes and corvids and non-corvids

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2013
There are more than 300 avian species that can transmit West Nile virus (WNv). In general, the corvid and non-corvid families of birds have different responses to the virus, with corvids suffering a higher disease-induced mortality rate. By taking both corvids and non-corvids as the primary reservoir hosts and mosquitoes as vectors; we formulate and ...

Phylogeographic patterns in widespread corvid birds

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2007
Intraspecific genetic diversity and phylogeography of Corvus corone was investigated using the mitochondrial (mt) control region as a molecular marker. A split into two distinct mt lineages was observed. One represents individuals from a wide geographic range spanning from England to the Russian Far East (Kamchatka), while the other one was found in ...

Clever Corvids

2009
Abstract In the last chapter we tried to find a way out of an impasse generated by the very narrow, blinkered approach to comparative cognitive psychology that has placed undue emphasis on comparisons between chimpanzees and humans. Outside this chimp–human comparative world are a breed of comparative cognitive psychologists who despair ...

Object caching in corvids: Incidence and significance

Behavioural Processes, 2014
Food caching is a paramount model for studying relations between cognition, brain organisation and ecology in corvids. In contrast, behaviour towards inedible objects is poorly examined and understood. We review the literature on object caching in corvids and other birds, and describe an exploratory study on object caching in ravens, New Caledonian ...

Investigating Prosociality in Corvids

2016
Prosozialität ist ein Verhalten, das zu Gunsten anderer ausgeübt wird. Der einzige Unterschied zu Altruismus mit dem es oft assoziiert wird, ist, dass prosoziales Verhalten mit keinem oder nur geringem Aufwand für das handelnde Individuum verbunden ist.

For Corvids together Is Better

2011
In this paper we describe a model of cooperation in evolutionary robotics (ER) derived by animal research on Corvids. In recent years many researchers have proposed models of ER which are bio-inspired. The main source of inspiration has come from social insects, such as ants.
