Beyond a unitary construct: Dissecting stopping behaviour in two bird species

This study examines stopping behaviour in two gull species using three tasks, finding species-specific differences linked to migration and foraging strategies.

Unravelling effects of fine-scale changes within wild-bird flocks on sociality

This study examines how fine-scale changes in food distribution and social stability affect sociality in wild great tits, finding that resource clustering increases flock size and social centrality.

Nest traits for the world's birds

The paper introduces a global database of bird nest traits and explores correlations between nest characteristics and environmental variables.

Individual vocal recognition in the black-headed spider monkey (Ateles fusciceps)

This study shows that black-headed spider monkeys can distinguish between female group members using contact calls in a habituation-dishabituation experiment.

Inhibitory control, personality, and manipulated ecological conditions influence foraging plasticity in the great tit

This study examines how inhibitory control and personality traits affect foraging plasticity in great tits under different ecological conditions.

No evidence for cross-contextual consistency in spatial learning and behavioural flexibility in a passerine

The paper tests cross-contextual consistency of spatial learning and behavioural flexibility in great tits and finds no correlation between different measures of these cognitive traits.

Ecology, phylogeny, and the evolution of developmental duration in birds

This study investigates the factors influencing developmental duration in birds using phylogenetic and ecological data, finding that body size, ecology, and evolutionary history explain most of the variation.
