Wild skuas can use acoustic cues to locate hidden food

Abstract: HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des labor… Show more

“…Due to the significant physical effort associated with chick rearing, birds might be less prone to participate in cognitive experiments (Ibañez et al, 2018). However, as shown by other cognitive experiments carried out during the breeding season (e.g., Danel et al, 2021Danel et al, , 2022a, including Experiment 2, skuas are in fact strongly motivated to get the food reward and to interact with a human experimenter. Thus, it seems more likely that, due to their inability to use the experimenter's cues and the resulting failures in obtaining rewards, skuas increasingly lost motivation.…”

“…Skuas might indeed be more willing to participate if they see the food reward directly, such as in Experiment 2. However, although the experimenter had to increase the administration of training trials through the experiments, lack of motivation was evident neither during the training phase, nor during other cognitive tasks performed subsequently where the food reward was covered (e.g., Danel et al, 2022a). The genetic proximity between gulls and skuas (Furness et al, 2020) also leads us to preclude the explanation that skuas are unable to see properly human experimenters’ cues due to limited vision.…”

“…Wild brown skuas ( Catharacta antarctica ssp. lonnbergi ), another kleptoparasitic seabird, prefer food that has previously been handled by an experimenter [ 44 ] and can follow human behavioural cues [ 45 ], which raises questions as to whether frequent contact with humans is a prerequisite for the exploitation of human cues or simply a facilitator, as kleptoparasites may possess a general tendency for paying attention to heterospecific cues.…”
