Journal ArticleDOI
Predictable evolution towards larger brains in birds colonizing oceanic islands
TL;DR: It is shown that species living on islands have relatively larger brains than their mainland relatives and that these differences mainly reflect in situ evolution rather than varying colonization success, reinforcing the view that in some instances evolution may be predictable.
Book ChapterDOI
Behavioural Innovation: A Neglected Issue in the Ecological and Evolutionary Literature?
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of motor diversity in foraging innovations: a cross-species comparison in urban birds
TL;DR: Across species, motor flexibility was the strongest predictor of the capacity to forage innovatively, with a true corvid, the Australian raven, Corvus coronoides, outperforming all other species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative Brain Size and Its Relation with the Associative Pallium in Birds.
TL;DR: It is shown that pallium areas associated with domain-general cognition represent a large fraction of the entire brain, are disproportionally larger in large-brained birds and accurately predict variation in the whole brain when allometric effects are appropriately accounted for.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dunking behaviour in Carib grackles
TL;DR: It is concluded that dunking is part of the normal behavioural repertoire of Carib grackles in Barbados, and that the low frequency of the behaviour in the field did not result from the inability of some individuals to perform the technique, but more likely from the balance of costs and benefits affecting its expression.
