Recently, there has been a surge in cognition research using non‐avian reptile systems. As
a diverse group of animals, non‐avian reptiles [turtles, the tuatara, crocodylians, and …

Historically the dominant trend in comparative brain and behavior research has emphasized
the differences in cognition and its neural basis among species. In fact, the vertebrate …

Non-avian reptiles have long been neglect in cognitive science due to their reputation as
slow and inflexible learners, but fortunately, this archaic view on reptile cognition is …

In mammals and birds, hippocampal processing is crucial for allocentric spatial learning. In
these vertebrate groups, lesions to the hippocampal formation produce selective …

Sleep is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom and yet displays considerable variation in its
extent and form in the wild. Ecological factors, such as predation, competition, and …

The hippocampus in humans and other mammals is essential for episodic and relational
memories. Comparative evidence indicates that a hippocampal pallium homologue is …

Turtles (Pseudemys scripta) were trained in place, cue and control open-field procedures.
The turtles trained in both the place and the cue procedures were able to learn their …

Animals use a variety of cue types to locate and discriminate objects. The ease with which
particular cue types are learned varies across species and context. An enormous literature …

Translocation into a novel environment through common fisheries management practices,
such as fish stocking, provides opportunities to study behavioural and fitness impacts of …

Mammals and birds are capable of navigating to a goal using learned map-like
representations of space (ie place learning), but research assessing this navigational …
