Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) conceal caches from onlookers [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2014 Animals that cache food risk having their stored food pilfered by conspecifics. Previous research has shown that a number of food-caching species of corvid use strategies that decrease the probability of conspecifics pilfering their caches. In this experiment, we investigated whether Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) would choose between caching ...

Animals, 2022 Corvids (crows, magpies, jays) live in a close association with humans, and therefore knowledge about their population status and changes will be an essential part of monitoring the quality of urban environments.

Exploring the perceptual inabilities of Eurasian jays ( Garrulus glandarius ) using magic effects [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance While we know that humans are often deceived by magic effects, little is known concerning how nonhuman animals perceive these intricate techniques of deception. Here, we tested the susceptibility to be misled by three different magic effects on a sample of six Eurasian jays ( Garrulus glandarius

Forest Bird Abundance Is Linked to the Interactions Between Forest Characteristics and Species Ecological Traits: Implications for Forest Management. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing extensive bird monitoring data from Czechia and detailed forest and species trait information, this study found strong interactions between bird traits—especially migration distance and habitat specialization—and forest characteristics. These findings highlight the need for targeted forest management strategies, such as coppicing or old‐growth ...

Animals, 2021 We evaluated the spatiotemporal patterns of predation risk on black grouse nests using artificial nests that were monitored by camera traps in mountain areas with a small extant (Ore Mts.) and already extinct (Jeseníky Mts.) black grouse population.

Modifications to the Aesop's Fable paradigm change New Caledonian crow performances. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 While humans are able to understand much about causality, it is unclear to what extent non-human animals can do the same. The Aesop's Fable paradigm requires an animal to drop stones into a water-filled tube to bring a floating food reward within reach ...

Caching at a distance: a cache protection strategy in Eurasian jays [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2016 A fundamental question about the complexity of corvid social cognition is whether behaviours exhibited when caching in front of potential pilferers represent specific attempts to prevent cache loss (cache protection hypothesis) or whether they are by-products of other behaviours (by-product hypothesis).

Spatial patterns of habitat distribution of Corvidae (the case of urban-rural gradient)
Vìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Bìologìâ, Ekologìâ, 2016 The spatial distribution and abundance of Corvidae species in Zhytomyr region was studied in terms of the urban-rural gradient. We selected Rook (Corvus frugilegus L.), Eurasian Jackdaw (C. monedula L.), Hooded Crow (C. cornix L.), Common Raven (C. corax
