Ecology and Brain Size Drive Feeding Innovations in Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Larger‐brained birds exhibit higher feeding innovation rates, but ecological factors shape different forms of innovation in distinct ways. Across 955 bird species, phylogenetic path analyses revealed that migration type and feeding strategy mediate the effects of brain size and climate on feeding innovations, illustrating how cognition and ecology ...

Repeated changes in resource distribution mitigate inter-individual inequality of food acquisition in a captive group of large-billed crows

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Animal group foraging produces inequality in food acquisition among individuals due to variation in social characteristics such as dominance rank. External environmental factors, particularly the spatial distribution of food, can modulate the influence ...

Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.

Abstract Globalization can introduce new employment opportunities to emerging economies in multinational corporations and exporting firms. Who is best positioned to benefit, and what are the political consequences for “left behind” areas? We argue that primarily advantaged groups seize these opportunities through internal migration toward centers of ...
