Personality and cognition: shoal size discrimination performance is related to boldness and sociability among ten freshwater fish species
Several studies have reported that animals’ personalities are often correlated with individual differences in cognition. Here, we tested whether...

Trained quantity discrimination in the invasive red-eared slider and a comparison with the native stripe-necked turtle
Little is known about the behavioral and cognitive traits that best predict invasion success. Evidence is mounting that cognitive performance...

Fledgling discrimination in the hoopoe, a potential host species of the great spotted cuckoo
AbstractObligate brood parasites lay their eggs in nests of other species, with host parents bearing the cost of raising their offspring. These costs...
