I am excited to have my first paper on pinyon jays’ caching behaviour out in L&B #corvids #behaviour #animalcognition link.springer.com/article/10.375… where we examined whether pinyon jays can distinguish between “thieves” and “non-thieves”. 1/8
New (and last!) paper published from my master’s degree, looking at beautiful songbirds and cute chipmunks. Well, cute chipmunks? Maybe not so… (1/7) frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Congratulations to Dr. Alizée Vernouillet for successfully defending her PhD thesis (over Zoom no less)! The circumstances were certainly abnormal, but you did a fantastic job, and you should be very proud of all your hard work!
New paper with @DebbieKellyLab out! We looked at the responses to novelty in four food-storing corvid species: pinyon jays, nutcrackers, scrub jays, and magpies. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Mixed evidence of mirror self-recognition in scrub jays. Paper published in Ethology with @ClaryNutcracker, Meara Stow, and @DebbieKellyLab for the Special Issue on Prosociality and Cooperation in Birds. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
A new paper from the lab, in which we report mixed evidence of mirror self-recognition in scrub jays, using the mirror mark test and a caching task. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111…
Our second paper on canine cognition is out in Animal Cognition! This time looking at inhibitory control in pet dogs and sled dogs, and the effects of glucose on motoric self-regulation. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Our latest paper at the @DebbieKellyLab comparing the inhibitory control of pet dogs and sled dogs and examining the effect of glucose on motoric self-regulation just got published!!! rdcu.be/bIaGg (view only)
New paper from the lab showing that Clark's nutcrackers (along with chicks, pigeons, and humans!) use the medial axis of a bounded environment to reorient. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our first study with pet dogs was published as part of the Canine Cognition Special Issue in Learning and Behavior! Different motor-regulation tasks are not measuring the same aspect of inhibitory control. Congrats @VernouilletA! link.springer.com/article/10.375…
