DOI: 10.1007/s10071-018-1226-7
Abstract: Judgement bias tasks are designed to provide markers of affective states. A recent study of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) demonstrated modest familial effects on judgement bias performance, and found that adverse early experience and developmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.11.009
Abstract: Parental care is widely assumed to be costly, and life-history theory predicts that individuals that invest more in parental care should benefit in terms of number of offspring produced but that increased parental care might… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/bne0000200
Abstract: The brain constantly has to interpret stimuli from a range of modalities originating from the same or different objects to create unambiguous percepts. The mechanisms of such multisensory processing have been intensely studied with respect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64544-w
Abstract: Antimicrobial use in livestock production is a driver for the development and proliferation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Wildlife interactions with livestock, acquiring associated AMR bacteria and genes, and wildlife’s subsequent dispersal across the landscape are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0188857
Abstract: Head movements allow birds with laterally placed eyes to move their centers of acute vision around and align them with objects of interest. Consequently, head movements have been used as indicator of fixation behavior (where… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0246277
Abstract: In the 21st century, invasive animals rank second only to habitat destruction as the greatest threat to global biodiversity. Socially-acceptable and cost-effective strategies are needed to reduce the negative economic and environmental impacts of invasive… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1010456
Abstract: Two fundamental questions for evolutionary studies are the speed at which evolution occurs, and the way that this evolution may present itself within an organism’s genome. Evolutionary studies on invasive populations are poised to tackle… read more here.
