Really proud of this one. Our first study on innovative problem-solving in free-ranging small mammals is fresh off the press of Animal Cognition rdcu.be/eOHl3. We looked at what happens with human disturbance in a protected area...without disturbing our most precious collaborators!

📣 New paper out (and my first one on ravens)! ❤️ "Startling ravens Corvux corax at foraging: Differences in anti-predator behaviour can be explained by age rather than personality" by Janina Weißenborn, @pesumas.bsky.social, Thomas Bugnyar and myself, out now in Journal of Avian Biology! ✨️😊
Do ravens have personalities?
We tested how free-flying ravens respond to predator calls & gunshots. No consistent boldness across individuals, but:
🖤 Juveniles fed sooner than adults
🦅 All reacted more cautiously to raptors than gunshots

Bonobos may combine words in ways previously thought unique to humans
Phrases used to smooth over tense social situations have meanings beyond the sum of their parts, study suggests
Bonobos use a combination of calls to encourage peace with their partner during mating rituals, research suggests.
The discovery is part of a study that suggests our close evolutionary cousins can string together vocalisations to produce phrases with meanings that go beyond the sum of their parts – something often considered unique to human language. Continue reading...
