The Genius of Birds
Birds are astonishingly intelligent creatures. In fact, according to revolutionary new research, some birds rival primates and even humans in their remarkable forms of intelligence. Like humans, many birds have enormous brains relative to their size. Although small, bird brains are packed with neurons that allow them to punch well above their weight. In The Genius of Birds, acclaimed author Jennifer Ackerman explores the newly discovered brilliance of birds and how it came about. As she travels around the world to the most cutting-edge frontiers of research - the distant laboratories of Barbados and New Caledonia, the great tit communities of the United Kingdom and the bowerbird habitats of ...
A Inteligência Das Aves
Por muito tempo, a expressão "cérebro de passarinho" se referiu de maneira pejorativa a mentes pouco aptas, como se a pequena dimensão da cabeça de alguns pássaros resultasse em uma metáfora perfeita para um menor grau de esperteza. Costumava-se enxergar as aves como animais de inteligência pouco refinada, com corpos e esqueletos mais desenvolvidos para o voo e a leveza. No entanto, A inteligência das aves surge para quebrar esse paradigma, abrindo o leque do comportamento animal e dos estudos científicos que demonstram sem dúvidas a genialidade desses animais. Numa mistura de dados científicos e relatos entusiasmados de observadores e admiradores de aves, Jennifer Ackerman aprese...
De genialiteit van vogels
Vogels zijn verbluffend intelligente wezens. Diezelfde papegaaien die ons het woord ‘papegaaien’ hebben bezorgd, praten ons niet alleen na, maar blijken te kunnen antwoorden, rekenen en spellen. Sommige kraaiensoorten lossen ingewikkelde puzzels op en maken ingenieuze werktuigen. Vogels vertonen indrukwekkende sociale vaardigheden. Ze bedriegen en manipuleren. Ze spelen luistervink. Ze hebben een groot gevoel voor rechtvaardigheid. Ze geven cadeautjes. Ze spelen. Ze plagen. Ze delen. Ze onderhouden sociale netwerken. Ze rivaliseren om status. Ze troosten elkaar. Ze onderrichten hun jongen. Ze chanteren hun ouders. Ze waarschuwen elkaar voor gevaar. Ze verzamelen zich bij een dode soortge...

Animal Innovation
Innovation is an important component of behavioural plasticity vital to the survival of individuals and potentially of critical importance to those endangered or threatened species forced to adjust to changed or impoverished environments. This text provides a comprehensive study of this subject.
The Evolution of Cognition
In the last decade, "evolutionary psychology" has come to refer exclusively to research on human mentality and behavior, motivated by a nativist interpretation of how evolution operates. This book encompasses the behavior and mentality of nonhuman as well as human animals and a full range of evolutionary approaches. Rather than a collection by and for the like-minded, it is a debate about how evolutionary processes have shaped cognition. The debate is divided into five sections: Orientations, on the phylogenetic, ecological, and psychological/comparative approaches to the evolution of cognition; Categorization, on how various animals parse their environments, how they represent objects and e...
