  1. 1. Spatial Vision in Birds: Anatomical investigation of spatial resolving power

    Författare :Mindaugas Mitkus; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Raptors; Seabirds; Parrots; Birds; Double cones; Development; Retinal ganglion cells; Visual spatial resolution; Visual ecology; Vision;

    Sammanfattning : Avian eyes are big both in relative and absolute terms, thus the importance of vision to birds is obvious. Even though the general eye plan is rather conservative throughout the group, there is a great variation in visual capabilities. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bird Vision: Spatial acuity and colour discrimination in bright and dim light

    Författare :Olle Lind; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal vision; Visual ecology; Colour vision; Spatial acuity; Spatial contrast sensitivity; Dim light; Visual modelling; Behavioural experiments; Birds; Psittaciformes;

    Sammanfattning : Birds use vision to guide navigation, foraging and mate choice, and studies of the limitations in bird visual perception are most helpful for the understanding of bird ecology. Here, I present four studies of bird vision in bright and dim light. LÄS MER

It focuses on three sections: the theme of fairy tales and myths under the artistic direction of Ronnie Hallgren (19977-83), his staging of English plays (1982 -84) and the avantgarde production for children and youth under the direction of Karin Parrot (1990-92).

  5. 4. Planning and inhibition in corvids

    Författare :Can Kabadayi; LUCS grupp för kognitiv zoologi; []
    Nyckelord :executive functions; corvids; evolution of cognition; planning; inhibitory control; homoplasy;

    Sammanfattning : Executive functions (EF) denote the host of top-down mental processes that mediate self-regulation to achieve a goal. Among other things, EF support cognitive flexibility by allowing inhibition of automatic responses in favour of obtaining future goals. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Comparative studies of cognitive abilities in the Paridae : Evidence from laboratory studies

    Författare :Utku Urhan; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Comparative cognition; Spatial memory; Food hoarding; Observational spatial memory; motor self-regulation; Cognitive sex differences; foraging strategies;

    Sammanfattning : The Paridae (tits, titmice and chickadees) is a bird family consisting of both food hoarding and non-hoarding species. Many studies have been conducted on birds that are considered to be cognitively advanced, such as parrots and corvids, whereas much less is known about these small passerines. LÄS MER
