Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

An integrated model of territory occupancy and mark‐recapture data for estimating spatial variation in survival

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial variation in survival is central to understanding population dynamics and guiding conservation. However, assessing it is hard, since capture‐mark‐recapture (CMR) data required for such inference must be collected over large spatial extents, which is seldom possible.

Pigeons (Columba livia) distinguish between absence of events and lack of evidence in contingency learning

open access: yesInternational Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2023
When information about an event is perceptually occluded, individuals might recognize that the event might be present but that they cannot detect it because of the occluder. In such situations, an individual should continue to believe that the prevailing

Mechanisms of object recognition: what we have learned from pigeons

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Behavioral studies of object recognition in pigeons have been conducted for 50 years, yielding a large body of data. Recent work has been directed toward synthesizing this evidence and understanding the visual, associative, and cognitive mechanisms that ...

A Magnitude Effect in Temporal discounting with Hens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study aimed to determine whether a magnitude effect could be obtained in temporal discounting with brown shaver hens. Subjects responded in a classic self-control situation for the choice between a smaller-sooner reward (1-s access to food, after a ...

Co‐operatives and public policy: A scoping review

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We sketch a first‐ever map of the scholarly literature on co‐operatives and public policy from a selection of English‐language studies published since 2000 using a scoping review methodology. We find that while co‐operatives are often framed as solutions to societal problems, few scholars draw on formal public policy theories.

The effects of butorphanol + isoflurane and medetomidine+isoflurane anesthetic agents on cardiopulmonary, hematological, biochemical parameters in pigeons

open access: yesRevista Científica
To develop a safe and balanced anesthetic combination in avian and to evaluate the effects of these combinations on various systems. Twenty clinically healthy adult pigeons (1–2 years old,  448.9 ± 41.2  g) were randomLy divided into two groups. Group I
