Why Crows Are as Smart as 7-Year-Old Humans! Prepare to be amazed as we delve into the extraordinary intelligence of birds, particularly crows and parrots! 🦜 In this video, we explore how these feathered geniuses showcase cognitive abilities that rival many mammals, such as tool use, problem-solving, and intricate social structures. Discover how brain complexity, rather than size, empowers birds to perform astounding feats, from navigating vast landscapes to crafting sophisticated nests. We'll also highlight fascinating experiments revealing crows’ problem-solving skills, social intelligence, and even potential self-awareness. This deep dive will challenge traditional views on animal cognition and inspire awe for our avian companions. Don't forget to like and share this video to spread the wonder! 🌍✨ https://lnkd.in/gxAfAAt2

Early morning - starting my day - and just watched this great video about bats: https://lnkd.in/eaeiZe8a Scientists thought bats were experts at echolocation in caves. Turns out, they run into each other constantly – they're just winging it. The people we idolize at work? They're likely just figuring things out as they go, too - just like you. It's a great reminder that it's okay to not have everything perfectly planned. Sometimes, winging it is how we learn and grow. #WorkLife #Learning #Growth #EmbraceTheJourney

Animals are more similar to us than you may think. All the way down to emotion, motivation and how we use our resources to change our outcomes. NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE. Check out my newest video up now! https://lnkd.in/e_nMTAyw

The meaningful bonds that can exist between people and horses have been shared widely across time and cultures. Many who have worked closely with horses have attested to the mutual benefits that they have witnessed, especially when the person involved is in a positive emotional state. We hope you enjoy this video, in which we share just a few key research findings on the heart connections between people and horses. * * * #horses #Connections #research #heartcoherence https://lnkd.in/guT3uWjF

More than heritability 🎶 It is easy to get obsessed with heritabilities when you start working in breeding and genetics. The idea that a fraction of that variability we are observing can be explained by pedigree (or family structure or clonal differences or whatever) is appealing. It gives us an idea of control: there is a whiff of causality in our work. If the trait I care about is heritable THEN I can successfully breed for it. However, we need to remember that it is a fraction of the variability we care about. If there is little variability, there is little room to select farther to the right of the distribution for the trait. A typical example in trees would be stem diameter vs basic wood density. The heritability for density is, on average, around 0.6, while for diameter is 0.2 in a lucky day. However, the within-site coefficient of variation for density is about 8% but over 20% for diameter. Much more room to move in diameter. Nothing groundbreaking, particularly if you have been working for a while. Just a handy reminder if you’re a newbie in breeding things. #breeding #treebreeding #teaching Gratuitous earworm: In my head, “more than heritability” sounds like the famous “more than a feeling”.
