  4. Adopting novel food is vital to colonize novel environments, but what is the role of social learning? Study of urban #cockatoos by shows them to rapidly adopt novel food via #SocialLearning, with juveniles showing conformist preferences @PLOSBiology plos.io/4uq6NVq

  5. 🏙️🦊 Urban #wildlife like the #cockatoos in #Sydney and the #monkeys in #NewDelhi are learning similar bold strategies to find #food and communicate over traffic noise.

    The global trend toward matching urban behaviors may leave species less equipped to survive in the wild. Researchers are studying these changes to better understand how human expansion reshapes animal #evolution.

  14. Australian biodiversity and imperial obsequiousness

    In a nutshell:

    #Australia #CriticalMinerals #ImperialObsequiousness #SubimperialEnforcer #ExemptionPower #NationalInterest #extractivism #zeitgeist

    "The Australian government’s decision to allow the US mining giant Alcoa to continue clearing swathes of Western Australian jarrah forest despite past illegal clearing practices was made in part due to a critical minerals deal reached between Australia and the Trump administration last year, a new document shows."

    "...The government has prioritised corporate interests and foreign defence interests above the jarrah forests, the endangered species that rely on the forests and Perth’s drinking water – showing just how wrong their priorities are.”

    “In the twisted logic of Australia in the Trump age, the national interest lies not in honouring and protecting the beauty and richness of our natural heritage, but in sacrificing it to foreign mining companies.”
