Investigating planning behavior in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) using computerized MAZE testing
Computerized cognitive testing has significantly advanced our understanding of animal cognition by enabling standardized and efficient data collection. This testing has been widely applied to primates, and comparable research in marine m...

Dynamic extinction and novelty-triggered recovery of visual route memories in ants
Insects exhibit flexible memory processes, yet current models often confine these modulations to discrete, reinforced events. During navigation, animals can learn to associate locations with resources or aversive events. However, such ev...

Cognitive assessment for neuropsychological impairments in dogs (CANID): an efficient, repeatable, and sensitive evaluation for studies of cognitive aging
We introduce the Cognitive Assessment for Neuropsychological Impairments in Dogs (CANID), a functional evaluation consisting of three cognitive tasks that measure aspects of memory and executive function. CANID can be implemented in a si...

Leaning left: how turn bias and habitat complexity shape spatial cognition in a coral-reef fish
In coral reef ecosystems, anthropogenic change is rapidly altering habitat structure, but the consequences for fish cognition remain poorly understood. We tested whether structural habitat complexity influences spatial learning and strat...

Behavioral characterization of dynamic facial expression perception in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) using naturalistic and synthetic stimuli
Facial displays are an important channel of communication for primates, yet it remains unclear based on which criteria monkeys evaluate facial expressions. We trained two rhesus macaques to categorize videos of four facial expression typ...

Do African elephants use visual cues of food quantity when making foraging decisions?
African elephants ( Loxodonta africana ) are ecosystem engineers that can have dramatic impacts on the landscape through their feeding. Therefore, understanding how elephants make foraging decisions provides insight into what drives both...

Elephant gestural communication during agonistic interactions: repertoire, intentionality, and goals
Goal-directed intentionality is the ability to communicate with the intention of eliciting reactions from recipients. Long considered uniquely human, today it has been reported in the signalling of several species, most notably in the la...
