Phenology of migrating game birds in Italy based on citizen science data
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Studying the timing of the seasonal movements of migratory birds, known as migration phenology, is crucial for managing and conserving migratory bird populations. This is particularly important for migratory game bird populations in Europe because, according to the EU, migratory birds should not be hunted during their breeding season or during return ...

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

Suboptimal Choice Behaviour across Different Reinforcement Probabilities [PDF]
, 2015 Six adult roosters’ choice behaviour was investigated across a series of five experimental conditions and a series of replication of the same five experimental conditions. Stagner and Zentall (2010) found that pigeons prefer to choose an alternative with

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Very superstitious? A preliminary investigation of pigeons’ body position during a matching-to-sample task under differential and common outcome conditions. [PDF]
, 2019 The delayed matching-to-sample (DMS) task is widely employed to assess memory in a range of non-human animals. On the standard “common outcomes” (CO) DMS task, correct performance following either sample stimulus results in reinforcement. In contrast, on

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.This article analyses a new wealth tax (the IGF) in Bolivia against the backdrop of the 2019 ousting of former president Evo Morales. In doing so, it engages calls for ‘a return to politics’ in anthropology by proposing the notion of a ‘fiscal grievance politics’ as animating elite opposition to the tax in lowland Santa Cruz department. I show that the

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...

The navigation of homing pigeons: Do they use sun Navigation? [PDF]
Experiments to determine the dependence of homing pigeons on the sun as a navigational cue are discussed. Various methods were employed to interrupt the circadian rhythms of the pigeons prior to release.

Waved albatrosses can navigate with strong magnets attached to their head [PDF]
, 2003 The foraging excursions of waved albatrosses Phoebastria irrorata during incubation are ideally suited for navigational studies because they navigate between their Galápagos breeding site and one specific foraging site in the upwelling zone of Peru along
