[BERG] BERG seminar this week

[Gema Martin-Ordas]

Dear all,

On Wednesday this week at 4pm, Dr. Jeff Martin (McGill University, Canada) will be talking about caching behaviour in Canadian jays. Please, see below the title and short abstract for his talk.

This meeting will be online (below is the teams link).

Title:  Food caching decisions in Canada jays

Abstract: For resident birds in the Northern hemisphere, resource scarcity typically occurs simultaneously with winter conditions. To combat these compounded stressors many species cache food, the storing of food items for subsequent retrieval and consumption after some delay, to ensure a reliable supply of resources. Because food caching behaviour is cognitively demanding, caching has long been a focus of research in animal behaviour and cognition. Most of this work has focused on what animals know about their caches once deposited, however, much less is known about what influences caching decisions prior to caches being deposited. I will present a series of experiments aimed at exploring different cues Canada jays (Perisoreus canadensis) might use when deciding what to cache, and where to cache it.


Best,
Gema
