You’ll have lots of opportunities to meet the CREA Mont-Blanc team in 2018! Pack your sandwich and hike over to the Mont Blanc Observatory to join us as we learn more about what’s going on in the mountains around us.\u00a0 Seminars will be led both by researchers from CREA Mont-Blanc as well as visiting academics eager to share their passion for flora, fauna and mountain environments.<\/p>\n

If you are a researcher visiting Chamonix and interested in meeting the CREA Mont-Blanc team and\/or sharing your work at a Science Sandwich conference, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us<\/a>!<\/h4>\n

Social cognition in corvids: lessons from Eurasian jay caching and food-sharing behaviours – Edward Legg and Ljerka Ostojic, Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge, UK<\/p>\n

To study social cognition in corvids, we use Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) as a model species because we can utilise two natural behaviours, namely caching and food-sharing. Like other corvids, Eurasian jays utilise a range of cache-protection strategies when there is potential that a conspecific could steal their caches. These studies suggest that cachers might be able to take into account what a conspecific can see or hear (perspective taking). In addition, we have developed a novel behavioural paradigm to test whether jays might be sensitive to what a conspecific wants or desires (desire-state attribution). This paradigm allows us to investigate whether male Eurasian jays respond to the changing desire of their female partner when sharing food with her during courtship. Finally, we will present recent studies in which we attempted to integrate tests of desire-state attribution into caching paradigms.<\/p>\n
