Our new review carnivore cognition has just been published in Animal Cognition: rdcu.be/cYZZ5 It was fun to write about the amazing research on cognition in mammalian carnivores! Congrats @HannahGriebling & Christina Sluka! Animal Cognition @ubcforestry UBC Zoology

Great news! And perfect timing for my ongoing projects. Sequencing keeps improving to be more efficient and affordable🤩

🚨Reminder: position ad closing tomorrow, looking forward to your application!

A new study tested 23 avian species, including the blue jay, and discovered that species with greater vocal learning abilities have greater problem-solving abilities and bigger brains. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/464

A model for the evolution of intelligence: McGill University study finds ability to solve food puzzles is the only predictor of innovation, brain size in wild birds 🧠🐦‍⬛mcgill.ca/x/Ut3 McGill Science Jean-Nicolas Audet

The first chapter of my PhD is now out as Open Access in Animal Cognition ! In it, we investigate the relationship between environmental harshness and social learning in the generalist Great tit. Read it here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

So immensely proud to see my PhD work out today in nature! Combining neuroscience and ethology to an unprecedented degree in primates, we uncover neural signatures of social support and grooming reciprocity—building blocks of relationships. shorturl.at/jvHSY 🧵👇

Two years ago, we lost a great scientist, but also a wonderful human being. We still miss her.

Here is the press release for our latest research! Grace Blackburn looks at the impact of multiple anthropogenic stressors and find they have an additive (negative) effect on magpie behaviour: uwa.edu.au/news/article/2…

New in @sciencemagazine, we show that spatial cognitive ability is associated with longevity in food-caching Mountain Chickadees. And Vladimir Pravosudov’s photo was selected for the cover! #ScienceResearch. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n
