Crows can recognize geometric patterns, suggesting that humans aren't unique in understanding shape structure.

In a remarkable new study, crows demonstrated an intuitive grasp of geometry—identifying irregular shapes without training.

Scientists tested crows on their ability to recognize “geometric regularity,” a skill previously assumed to be unique to ...

A trio of animal physiologists at the University of Tübingen, in Germany, has found that at least one species of crow has the ability to recognize geometric regularity. In their study published in the ...

A new study shows that like humans, crows can recognize geometric regularity, making them the first nonhuman animal known to have this ability.

Scientists believe that 8.7 million species of animals in the world have so far been classified. And, despite their best efforts, it’s estimated that there are still 5 million species to be described.

These animals effectively act as landscape engineers, reorganising soils and sediments. Yet their combined global impact has never been explored, until now. Research that my colleagues and I ...

Whereas animal cultures affect just a few crucial behaviors, such as courtship and feeding, human cultures cover a massive and constantly expanding set of activities, from clothing to table ...
