Goffin's cockatoos make the same tool type from different materials
Innovative tool manufacture is rare and hard to isolate in animals. We show that an Indonesian generalist parrot, the Goffin's cockatoo, can flexibly and spontaneously transfer the manufacture of stick-type tools across three different materials. Each material required different manipulation patterns, including substrates that required active sculpting for achieving a functional, elongated shape.
متن کاملGraphene materials with different structures prepared from the same graphite by the Hummers and Brodie methods
Graphene materials containing different functional groups were prepared from a natural graphite, by means of two different oxidation methods (Hummers and Brodie). It was observed that the differences in the structure of the resultant graphite oxides (GOs) greatly affect the structure of the graphenes resulting from their thermal exfoliation/reduction. Although the oxidation of the graphite was ...
متن کاملSimilar individuals facing the same set of choices often make different choices
This paper explores the classic distinction between state dependence and heterogeneity in repeated decisions. Specifically, it combines a Mixed Multinomial Logit model with a state dependence parameterization from the marketing literature on brand loyalty to study repeated fishing location choices of commercial sea urchin divers in California. The econometric model relies on simulation-based es...
متن کاملThe same, but different
The Dutch healthcare sector has seen many major changes lately: the introduction of a new health insurance scheme, a shift from supply-based healthcare to a demand-based system and a trend towards increasingly assertive patients. This requires a new approach to the education and training of future doctors. How is this approach implemented in practice and how do the changes affect medical studen...
متن کاملSocial transmission of tool use and tool manufacture in Goffin cockatoos (Cacatua goffini)
Tool use can be inherited, or acquired as an individual innovation or by social transmission. Having previously reported individual innovative tool use and manufacture by a Goffin cockatoo, we used the innovator (Figaro, a male) as a demonstrator to investigate social transmission. Twelve Goffins saw either demonstrations by Figaro, or 'ghost' controls where tools and/or food were manipulated u...
