Habitat selection and reproduction of red-backed shrikes (Lanius collurio) in relation to abundance of potential avian nest predators [PDF]
, 2010 Many studies of farmland bird species have related abundance of species to different habitat variables, whereas few studies have incorporated the effects of predation on habitat selection. However, it is generally assumed that prey species select habitat

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Testing social learning of anti-predator responses in juvenile jackdaws: the importance of accounting for levels of agitation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Social learning is often assumed to help young animals respond appropriately to potential threats in the environment. We brought wild, juvenile jackdaws briefly into captivity to test whether short exposures to conspecific vocalizations are sufficient to

Social learning is central to innovation, in primates and beyond [PDF]
, 2007 Much of the importance of innovation stems from its capacity to spread via social learning, affecting multiple individuals, thus generating evolutionary and ecological consequences.

Corvids exhibit dynamic risk assessment during escape [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 2020 It is widely accepted that stationary prey are able to carefully assess the risk levels associated with an approaching predator to make informative decisions on when to escape. However, little is known about subsequent decision-making process. We set out to compare whether escape durations of three species of corvids differ depending on how a human ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Two Problems for the Political Inclusion of Animals
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, the field of animal ethics has taken a political turn, with scholars arguing that sentient nonhuman animals should be included in the political sphere. This article explores two key challenges arising from this turn towards the political inclusion of animals: the Conflict Problem and the Numbers Problem.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

New Caledonian Crows and Hidden Causal Agents Revisited
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2021 A previous experiment suggested that New Caledonian crows (Corvus moneduloides; henceforth NCCs) can reason about hidden causal agents (Taylor et al., 2012).
