The last several decades of research on avian cognition have revealed surprising parallels
between the abilities of birds—most notably corvids—and great apes. Parrots, albeit far less …

Many studies report that translocation projects using captive or captive-bred animals have
low success rates. Captive animals can quickly lose natural behaviours, including …

Animal cultures have now been demonstrated experimentally in diverse taxa from flies to
great apes. However, experiments commonly use tasks with unrestricted access to equal …

Animal translocations commonly fail due to predation after release, especially if animals are
reared in human care, away from natural predation pressure. Anti-predator training can be a …

Animal alarm calls can contain detailed information about a predator's threat, and
heterospecific eavesdropping on these signals creates vast communication networks. While …

Across the animal kingdom, examples abound of individuals coming together to repel
external threats. When such collective actions are initiated by recruitment signals …

When they detect a predator, many species emit anti-predator vocalizations. In some cases,
they emit mobbing calls, which are associated with the caller approaching and harassing the …

Despite the growing use of conservation breeding and translocations in conservation, many
translocation efforts fail due to predation post-release. Released animals often lack …

Nature is composed of self-propelled, animate agents and inanimate objects. Laboratory
studies have shown that human infants and a few species discriminate between animate …

For animals that live alongside humans, people can present both an opportunity and a
threat. Previous studies have shown that several species can learn to discriminate between …
