The second paper from the collaboration between the Logan and Auckland Labs is out! Here, we examined whether social learning plays a role in New Caledonian crows' foraging behavior using a novel foraging task such that we were able to tease apart which learning mechanisms (e.g., imitation, emulation, stimulus or local enhancement) the crows used. We discuss our findings in relation to the crows' tool manufacture and use and their implications for cumulative culture.
