Social behavior mediates the use of social and personal information in wild jays

Kelsey B. McCune et al.

Summary: The factors favoring the evolution of certain cognitive abilities in animals are still unclear. Social learning is a cognitive ability that reduces the cost of acquiring personal information and forms the foundation for cultural behavior. Complex social group structures may not be necessary for the evolution of social learning, but they do affect the use of social versus personal information.

Human food subsidies drive individual specialization and intrapopulation dietary differences in a generalist predator

Elena H. West et al.

Summary: This study examined the isotopic niche width of Steller's Jays across different human land-use categories and found that individual foraging behavior and habitat use were better predictors of diet variation than sex or social dominance. The availability of human food subsidies also increased the degree of individual specialization exhibited by the jays.
