This study shows that macaques exhibit the Bouba-Kiki effect, suggesting sound-shape correspondences are a conserved vertebrate trait that may have influenced the evolution of symbolic communication.

This study shows that hornbills adjust their response speed based on the complexity of patterned-strings problems, with slower responses for more challenging configurations.

This study shows Oriental pied hornbills solve vertical string-pulling tasks using causal understanding without trial-and-error, challenging previous assumptions about avian cognition.
