The endangered brain: actively preserving ex-situ animal behaviour and cognition will benefit in-situ conservation

Autor: Fay E. Clark, Alison L. Greggor, Stephen H. Montgomery, Joshua M. Plotnik

Publikováno v: Royal Society Open Science, Vol 10, Iss 8 (2023)

Endangered species have small, unsustainable population sizes that are geographically or genetically restricted. Ex-situ conservation programmes are therefore faced with the challenge of breeding sufficiently sized, genetically diverse populations ea

We are currently witnessing a mass extinction event. In this context, behavior and cognition research can play a vital role in our efforts to conserve biodiversity. However, research on threatened species also poses additional challenges for maintain

Cooperation is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom as it aims to maximize benefits through joint action. Selection, however, may also favor competitive behaviors that could violate cooperation. How animals mitigate competition is hotly debated, with par

Abstract 1. To be effective, the next generation of conservation practitioners and managers need to be critical thinkers with a deep understanding of how to make evidence‐based decisions and of the value of evidence synthesis. 2. If, as educators,

Innovating to solve a novel puzzle: Wild Asian elephants vary in their ability to problem solve

Autor: Sarah L Jacobson, Juthapathra Dechanupong, Wantida Horpiencharoen, Marnoch Yindee, Joshua M Plotnik

An animal’s capacity for innovation ¬or solving novel problems likely has important implications for how quickly they can adapt to environmental change. Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) living in zoos have previously demonstrated a capacity to in
