1/7 Carrion crows recognize geometric figures without prior training There has been much debate about whether our sensitivity to Euclidean geometry is unique, as experiments with primates seemed to indicate. We now know that it is not the case. (paper) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Inteligencia animal

 

1/8 Different types of social learning in ants Tandem running is a form of learning in these insects, whereby an ant follows a guide who takes it to a place of interest. The two run close together, learning from one another. It seems that they do not all learn in the same way
