In the past few decades, there has been an increase in the number of zoo‐based
touchscreen studies of animal cognition around the world. Such studies have contributed to …

Birds possess a hippocampus that serves many of the same spatial and mnemonic functions
as the mammalian hippocampus but achieves these outcomes with a dramatically different …

Open Science has changed research by making data accessible and shareable,
contributing to replicability to accelerate and disseminate knowledge. However, for rodent …

Brown‐headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) are one of few species in which females show
more complex space use than males. Female cowbirds search for, revisit, and parasitize …

The greater male variability phenomenon predicts that males exhibit larger ranges of
variation in cognitive performance compared with females; however, support for this pattern …

Spatial memory has been studied through different instruments and tools with different
modalities of administration. The cognitive load varies depending on the measure used and …

Operant chambers are small enclosures used to test animal behavior and cognition. While
traditionally reliant on simple technologies for presenting stimuli (eg, lights and sounds) and …

Brood parasites are involved in coevolutionary arms races with their hosts, whereby
adaptations of one partner elicit the rapid evolution of counter-adaptations in the other …

Substantial progress has been made in understanding the genetic architecture of
phenotypes involved in a variety of evolutionary processes. Behavioral genetics remains …

Shiny and screaming cowbirds are avian interspecific brood parasites that locate and
prospect host nests in daylight and return from one to several days later to lay an egg during …
