For comparative proximate analyses we empha- size the need to be explicit about the level of analysis to reveal the type of convergence that has taken place. Although there is evidence that corvids and apes solve social and physical problems with similar speed and flexibility, there is a great deal more to be learned about the repre- sentations and algorithms underpinning these computations in both groups.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.

  • Introduction the Birth of a New Science Is Long, Drawn Out, and Often Fairly Messy
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-72746-4 — How to Study Animal Minds Kristin Andrews Excerpt More Information How to Study Animal Minds 1 Introduction The birth of a new science is long, drawn out, and often fairly messy. Comparative psychology has its roots in Darwin’s Descent of Man, was ferti- lized in academic psychology departments, and has branched across the uni- versities into departments of biology, anthropology, primatology, zoology, and philosophy. Both the insights and the failings of comparative psychology are making their way into contemporary discussions of artificial intelligence and machine learning (Chollett 2019; Lapuschkin et al. 2019; Watson 2019). It is the right time to turn a philosophical lens onto the methodologies of comparative psychology. That is the aim of this Element. Comparative psychology is the umbrella covering the different ways scien- tists study animal mind and behavior. Comparative psychologists study animal behavior and mentality, including the mechanisms and inner states that allow crows to form hooks, vervet monkeys to give warnings, crabs to make trade-off decisions, and humans to use language. While focus is on the similarities and differences between different species, capacities are often studied in terms of their evolutionary history, development, and current ecological or cultural context. What this entails is that comparative psychologists have a range of different kinds of training, different areas of expertise, and different research questions. One comparative cognition researcher compares children and dogs on causal reasoning abilities (Daphna Buchsbaum), another looks at memory in corvids (Nicola Clayton). An animal behaviorist examines raccoon territories in a city (Suzanne MacDonald).

  • Corvus Monedula) Select Individuals Based on Their Ability to Help?
    Can jackdaws (Corvus monedula) select individuals based on their ability to help? Auguste M.P. von Bayern, Nicola S. Clayton & Nathan J. Emery University of Cambridge, UK/Queen Mary University of London, UK Knowing the individual skills and competences of one’s group members may be important for deciding from whom to learn (social learning), with whom to collaborate and whom to follow. We investigated whether 12 jackdaws could select conspecifics based on their helping skills, which had been exhibited in a previous context. The birds were tested in a blocked-exit-situation, where they could choose between two conspecifics, one of which could be recruited inside. One conspecific had previously displayed the ability to open the exit door whilst the other individual lacked the skill. The subjects showed a significant preference for the skilled conspecific if they had previously directly benefited from this skill. If they had merely observed the skilled (and non-skilled) individual opening (or failing to open) the exit door, they did not preferably choose the skilled conspecific. Taken together, these results suggest that jackdaws are capable of assessing other individuals’ competence under certain circumstances. Introduction The question of whether non-human animals understand others’ behaviour as guided by unobservable mental states, such as perceptions, intentions, desires and beliefs, i.e. whether animals form a human-like ‘theory of mind’ (ToM) (Premack & Woodruff 1978) remains contentious. Informational ToM (Premack 1988), one of the three components of a full-blown ToM, entails understanding that other individuals have beliefs or knowledge of specific facets of the world. Theoretically, the ability to reason about others’ knowledge states (knowledge attribution) seems advantageous for social living species in several contexts of social life, such as competition over resources, cooperation, or social learning (see below).

  • A Critical Evaluation of Neophobia in Corvids: Causes, Consequences and Conservation Implications Alison Linda Greggor King’S College
    A critical evaluation of neophobia in corvids: causes, consequences and conservation implications Alison Linda Greggor King’s College October 2016 This dissertation is submitted to the University of Cambridge for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy i Preface This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as detailed on the Declaration page and specified in the text. No part of this thesis has been submitted, or is being concurrently submitted, to any other university in application for a higher degree. The text does not exceed 60,000 words. ii Summary Neophobia, or the fear of novelty, is thought to restrict animals’ ecological niches and hinder their propensity for innovation; two processes that should limit behavioural adjustment to human-induced changes in the environment. However, birds within the corvid family (Corvidae) defy this trend by being highly neophobic, yet highly successful alongside humans across diverse habitats. This thesis examines the causes and ecological consequences of neophobia to unravel corvids’ puzzling neophobic tendencies. Throughout the thesis I find evidence that corvids are very neophobic, but that individuals differ in their level of novelty avoidance. Neophobia is not a fixed trait across time and towards all types of novelty. Neophobia levels differ depending on the type of novel stimuli being presented, and individuals can be inconsistent when environments change seasonally (Chapter Three). Although individual differences in neophobia are expected to be associated with fitness outcomes, I found no direct connections between neophobia, reproductive success or offspring stress hormone expression (Chapter Four).

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Dr Jonathan Birch (LSE)
    Written evidence submitted by Dr Jonathan Birch (LSE), Professor Nicola Clayton FRS (University of Cambridge), Dr Alexandra Schnell (University of Cambridge), Dr Heather Browning (LSE) and Dr Andrew Crump (LSE) (AWB0026) July 2021 This evidence pertains specifically to the question: “5. Is the Government correct to limit the scope of the Bill to vertebrate animals?” Executive summary: Sentience is the capacity to have feelings, such as feelings of pain, pleasure, hunger, thirst, warmth, joy, comfort and excitement. It is not simply the capacity to feel pain, although feelings of pain and suffering have a special significance for animal welfare law because they are sources of widespread ethical concern. There is no single test for sentience. Evidence about brain mechanisms, physiology, cognitive abilities and behavioural responses can all be relevant to the overall case, even though no single piece of evidence is conclusive. For octopods (order Octopoda), there is a diverse and strong body of evidence that supports regarding these animals as sentient. For other coleoid cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid), the evidence is not as strong, but there is nonetheless a substantial amount of evidence gleaned from various different species. For true crabs (infraorder Brachyura), there is again a strong body of evidence, albeit not as strong as that regarding octopods. For other infraorders of decapod crustacean, the evidence is not as strong, but there is nonetheless a substantial amount of evidence gleaned from various different species. In our opinion, the evidence vindicates the 2012 extension of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 to cover all cephalopod molluscs. We now have a very strange situation in the UK: all cephalopod molluscs are protected in science but they are not protected by robust animal welfare laws outside scientific settings.
