Der Erfindergeist der Tiere

Es el primer libro de la bióloga cognitiva Alice Auersperg, acerca de la capacidad inventiva de otras especies. Desde las abejas hasta, como no, las cacatúas de Tanimbar.

Recomendado para aquellos que sepáis alemán

Came back briefly to share this amazing opportunity at my lab!

[Christopher Krupenye @ChrisKrupenye]

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information?

@TownrowLuke and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly @PNASNews

A pharmacy student of Biruni University, Istanbul, had read about the behavior of Rakus and then took the opportunity to ask Jane about it. I was so happy when I saw the video and very grateful to her for sharing it with me.
