This study examines how group movement affects energetic efficiency in vulturine guineafowl, finding that group members reduce transport costs but cannot match the efficiency of solitary individuals.

The paper shows that dispersing vulturine guineafowl select open habitats like roads to reduce transport energy costs during long-distance movement.

The study finds that leadership in collective movements incurs physiological costs, such as increased heart rate and reduced heart rate variability, particularly when leadership attempts fail.

This study shows vulturine guineafowl, a precocial bird species, exhibit cooperative breeding with male-biased care and plural breeding, challenging the altriciality-cooperative breeding hypothesis.

This paper provides quantitative recommendations for GPS sampling design in animal society studies, highlighting trade-offs between coverage, duration, and frequency to improve inference robustness.

This study uses machine learning to uncover hidden song dialects in zebra finches that influence mate choice, showing cultural transmission drives assortative mating.

This paper describes an automated barcode tracking system for monitoring bird behavior, demonstrating its reliability, affordability, and ability to capture long-term behavioral data.
