Interspecies differences in the cognitive abilities of corvids
Myslivečková, Lucie ; Fuchs, Roman (advisor) ; Sedláček, František (referee)
Birds from the family Corvidae are considered to be intelligent birds. Many species from this family are subjects of experiments that study their cognitive abilities. This thesis was focused on gathering and evaluating of comparative studies about interspecies differences in the cognitive abilities of two or more species. A part of the thesis was also dedicated to interspecies differences in cognitive abilities in corvids and other animal species. Result is that there are interspecies differences in cognitive abilities of corvids. These differences are cause mostly by their feeding ekology and the sociality of the specie. The success rate of different species can change depending on the experiment. Key words: Corvidae, corvids, cognitive abilities, interspecific comparison, comparative approach
