  1. 1. Brain morphology and behaviour in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) : Effects of plasticity and mosaic brain evolution

    Författare :Stephanie Fong; Niclas Kolm; Björn Rogell; Stephen Montgomery; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; brain plasticity; cognition; reversal learning; spatial learning; directed selection; mosaic brain; heritability; brain morphology; boldness; relative telencephalon size; inhibitory control; detour task; Poecilia reticulata; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding how brains have evolved and subsequently culminated in the huge variation in brain morphology among contemporary vertebrate species has fascinated researchers for many decades. It has been recognized that brain morphology is both genetically and environmentally determined. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Renewable gas in a Swedish context

    Författare :Laura Malek; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :synthetic natural gas; biomass; gasification; gas grid; techno-economic; tar; ammonia;

    Sammanfattning : In order to increase the use of sustainable energy in Sweden, it is necessary to substitute fossil energy carriers with renewable counterparts. Synthetic natural gas (SNG) produced from renewable resources via biomass gasification and methanation could replace a proportion of the natural gas used in Sweden. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Causes and Consequences of Impulsivity in Red Junglefowl

    Författare :Laura Garnham; Hanne Lovlie; Per Jensen; Neeltje Boogert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Behaviour; Cognition; Gallus gallus; Impulsivity; Inhibitory control; Red junglefowl;

    Sammanfattning : Throughout the animal kingdom, animals vary in cognition (i.e., how they acquire, process, store, and act on environmental information). Yet, the causes and consequences of this variation are currently unclear. LÄS MER
