Group size affects spontaneous quantity discrimination performance in wild Western Australian magpies (Gymnorhina tibicen dorsalis) [PDF]
Animal CognitionAnimals may benefit from the ability to discriminate between quantities in their environment; for example, when choosing between foraging patches differing in food availability or assessing the size of rival groups. Numerous studies utilising spontaneous

Heritability of cognitive performance in wild Western Australian magpies [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceIndividual differences in cognitive performance can have genetic, social and environmental components. Most research on the heritability of cognitive traits comes from humans or captive non-human animals, while less attention has been given to wild ...

Social Interactions Are Related to Cognitive Development in Western Australian Magpie Fledglings [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSocial interactions during development can have a significant and lasting impact on adult phenotypes and fitness. Indeed, a growing body of evidence suggests the early social environment plays an important role in cognitive development. However, existing

Investigating the relationship between physical cognitive tasks and a social cognitive task in a wild bird [PDF]
Animal CognitionDespite considerable research into the structure of cognition in non-human animal species, there is still much debate as to whether animal cognition is organised as a series of discrete domains or an overarching general cognitive factor.
