Insights into Convergent Evolution From Studying Amino Acid Patterns in Independent Lineages of Birds Open

Chul Lee, Seoae Cho, Kyu‐Won Kim, DongAhn Yoo, Matthew H. Davenport , et al. · 2025

Vocal learning, the ability to imitate sounds, is a complex convergent trait crucial for spoken language and observed in a few independent lineages of mammals and birds. While convergences in gene expression have been found in vocal learni…

Problem-solving skills are predicted by technical innovations in the wild and brain size in passerines Open

Jean‐Nicolas Audet, Mélanie Couture, Louis Lefebvre, Erich D. Jarvis · 2024

Behavioural innovations can provide key advantages for animals in the wild, especially when ecological conditions change rapidly and unexpectedly. Innovation rates can be compared across taxa by compiling field reports of novel behaviours.…

Neurobiological and Ecological Correlates of Avian Innovation Open

Jean‐Nicolas Audet · 2020

Synopsis In the wild, particularly in rapidly changing conditions, being capable of solving new problems can increase an animal’s chances of survival and reproduction. In the current context of widespread habitat destruction and increasing…

Host Cognition and Parasitism in Birds: A Review of the Main Mechanisms Open

Simon Ducatez, Louis Lefebvre, Ferran Sayol, Jean‐Nicolas Audet, Daniel Sol · 2020

Parasites can have important detrimental effects on host fitness, thereby influencing their ecology and evolution. Hosts can, in turn, exert strong selective pressures on their parasites, affecting eco-evolutionary dynamics. Although the r…

Divergence in problem-solving skills is associated with differential expression of glutamate receptors in wild finches Open

Jean‐Nicolas Audet, Lima Kayello, Simon Ducatez, Sara Perillo, Laure Cauchard , et al. · 2018

Wild birds that vary in their problem-solving capacity were found to express different neurotransmitter receptor densities.

<i>De novo</i> PacBio long-read and phased avian genome assemblies correct and add to reference genes generated with intermediate and short reads Open

Jonas Korlach, Gregory Gedman, Sarah B. Kingan, Chen-Shan Chin, Jason T. Howard , et al. · 2017

Reference-quality genomes are expected to provide a resource for studying gene structure, function, and evolution. However, often genes of interest are not completely or accurately assembled, leading to unknown errors in analyses or additi…

What’s flexible in behavioral flexibility? Open

Jean‐Nicolas Audet, Louis Lefebvre · 2017

Lay SummaryBehavioral flexibility is measured using a plethora of non-equivalent tasks. In experimental psychology, tests include reversal learning, set-shifting and self-control tasks. In addition to the latter tasks, behavioral ecologist…

Sex-dependent effects of chromogranin B P413L allelic variant as disease modifier in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Open

Yasuyuki Ohta, Geneviève Soucy, Daniel J. Phaneuf, Jean‐Nicolas Audet, François Gros‐Louis , et al. · 2016

Recent genetic studies yielded conflicting results regarding a role for the variant chromogranin B (CHGB)(P413L) allele as a disease modifier in ALS. Moreover, potential deleterious effects of the CHGB(P413L) variant in ALS pathology have …

Bajan Birds Pull Strings: Two Wild Antillean Species Enter the Select Club of String-Pullers Open

Jean‐Nicolas Audet, Simon Ducatez, Louis Lefebvre · 2016

String-pulling is one of the most popular tests in animal cognition because of its apparent complexity, and of its potential to be applied to very different taxa. In birds, the basic procedure involves a food reward, suspended from a perch…

Feeding innovations in a nested phylogeny of Neotropical passerines Open

Louis Lefebvre, Simon Ducatez, Jean‐Nicolas Audet · 2016

Several studies on cognition, molecular phylogenetics and taxonomic diversity independently suggest that Darwin's finches are part of a larger clade of speciose, flexible birds, the family Thraupidae , a member of the New World nine-primar…
