Abstract: To examine how resource competition contributes to patch-use behaviour, we examined domestic chicks foraging in an I-shaped maze equipped with two terminal feeders. In a variable interval schedule, one feeder supplied grains three times more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1357650x.2020.1797077
Abstract: ABSTRACT In order to face a constantly changing environment, animals need to be able to update their knowledge of the world on the basis of new information. Often, this means to inhibit a previously acquired… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.13402
Abstract: Behaviour of young domestic chicks when isolated from conspecifics is influenced by two conflicting drives: fear of potential predator and craving for company. The nucleus accumbens (Ac) has been suggested to influence social behaviour, as… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1005726
Abstract: In this review, we discuss the functional equivalence of the avian and mammalian hippocampus, based mostly on our own research in domestic chicks, which provide an important developmental model (most research on spatial cognition in… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.67208
Abstract: Absence is a notion that is usually captured by language-related concepts like zero or negation. Whether nonlinguistic creatures encode similar thoughts is an open question, as everyday behavior marked by absence (of food, of social… read more here.
