Food for thought: Rosy-faced lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis) are capable of associative symbol learning and inference-based quantity discrimination

Shengyu Wang, Kevin Ching Hei Lo, Verna Wing Ting Shiu, Christy Yuen Ching Hung, Emily Shui Kei Poon, Chris Newman, Christina Dagmar Buesching, Simon Yung Wa Sin

This study shows rosy-faced lovebirds can learn symbol associations and infer quantities, with performance varying by ratio range.

Density-dependent network structuring within and across wild animal systems

Gregory F. Albery, Daniel J. Becker, Josh A. Firth, Delphine De Moor, Sanjana Ravindran, Matthew J. Silk, Amy R. Sweeny, Eric Vander Wal, Quinn M. R. Webber, Bryony E. Allen, Simon A. Babayan, Sahas Barve, Mike Begon, Richard John Birtles, Theadora A. Block, , David M. Tickler

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

Pre-implantation genome-wide methylation enables environmental adaptation in a social meso-carnivore

Tin Hang Hung, Ming-shan Tsai, Chris Newman, David Whyte Macdonald, Christina Dagmar Buesching

The paper shows that pre-implantation genome-wide methylation in European badgers is influenced by environmental factors and linked to early-life traits, suggesting an epigenetic mechanism for adaptive plasticity.
