Journal ArticleDOI
Urban gulls show similar thermographic and behavioral responses to human shouting and conspecific alarm calls
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that urban-dwelling gulls respond to human shouting and conspecific alarm calls in a similar way, and it is suggested that infrared thermography is a viable technique to monitor stress responses in free-living birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nesting jackdaws’ responses to human voices vary with local disturbance levels and the gender of the speaker
TL;DR: The authors investigated whether wild jackdaws, Corvus monedula, associate human voices with differential degrees of risk and differ in their responses according to local levels of human disturbance, finding that nesting females did not discriminate between the voices of familiar men who posed differing levels of threat, generalize to unfamiliar individuals with similar regional accents or discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar accents and voices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wild Australian magpies learn to pull intact, not broken, strings to obtain food
TL;DR: The authors found that wild, free-ranging Australian magpies can learn to solve different versions of a string-pulling task; a version with a short string, a long string, and two strings next to each other where one of them was broken and non-functional (broken string task).

Wild mockingbirds distinguish among familiar humans
Douglas J. Levey,John R. Poulsen,Michelle E. Deochand,Jessica A. Oswald,Scott K. Robinson,Gustavo A. Londoño +5 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that female Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) can quickly learn to distinguish among different familiar humans, flushing sooner from their nest when approached by people who pose increasingly greater threats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Australian magpies discriminate between the territorial calls of intra and extra‐group conspecifics
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used playback experiments to determine whether Western Australian Magpies Gymnorhina tibicen dorsalis discriminate between the territorial carolling calls of intra-group and extra-group conspecifics.

Fitting Linear Mixed-Effects Models Using lme4
TL;DR: In this article, a model is described in an lmer call by a formula, in this case including both fixed-and random-effects terms, and the formula and data together determine a numerical representation of the model from which the profiled deviance or the profeatured REML criterion can be evaluated as a function of some of model parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudoreplication and the Design of Ecological Field Experiments
TL;DR: Suggestions are offered to statisticians and editors of ecological journals as to how ecologists' under- standing of experimental design and statistics might be improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual recognition: it is good to be different
Elizabeth A. Tibbetts,James Dale +1 more
TL;DR: Individual recognition behavior has been widely studied, uncovering spectacular recognition abilities across a range of taxa and modalities but relatively little research has explored the other half of the communication equation: the individual being recognized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudoreplication in playback experiments, revisited a decade later
TL;DR: Kroodsma et al. as discussed by the authors surveyed the experimental designs used in 50 papers published during the last several years to answer the question "What effect did the debate and subsequent consensus report have on the quality of experimental design used in animal behaviour?"
Journal ArticleDOI
Eavesdropping on heterospecific alarm calls: from mechanisms to consequences.
TL;DR: Overall, it is known that eavesdropping on heterospecific alarm calls is an important source of information for many species across the globe, and there are ample opportunities for research on mechanisms, fitness consequences and implications for community function and signalling evolution.
