Neural Processes Underlying Tool Use in Humans, Macaques, and Corvids [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 It was thought that tool use in animals is an adaptive specialization. Recent studies, however, have shown that some non-tool-users, such as rooks and jays, can use and manufacture tools in laboratory settings.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Urban and Rural Goshawks. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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 ...

Eurasian jays do not copy the choices of conspecifics, but they do show evidence of stimulus enhancement [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Corvids (birds in the crow family) are hypothesised to have a general cognitive tool-kit because they show a wide range of transferrable skills across social, physical and temporal tasks, despite differences in socioecology.

Occurrence of Chlamydiaceae in Raptors and Crows in Switzerland
Pathogens, 2020 Bacteria of the family Chlamydiaceae are globally disseminated and able to infect many bird species. So far, 11 species of Chlamydia have been detected in wild birds, and several studies found chlamydial strains classified as genetically intermediate ...

Niche partitioning of avian predators in northern grasslands amended by biosolids
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many food webs are affected by bottom‐up nutrient addition, as additional biomass or productivity at a given trophic level can support more consumers. In turn, when prey are abundant, predators may converge on the same diets rather than partitioning food
