🌿 The LECD team is back! Before the start of the new academic year, we reunited for our annual "LECDay"! 🎉 We were welcomed for a tour of the Cité des Bébés at @citedessciences.bsky.social, partnering with our Babylab👶🔬, as well as the Champ des Oiseaux and La Villette Farm 🐦🐇 Thanks for having us!

🎉 New paper out in Animal Cognition! 🐦 Does variation in birdsong reflect differences in cognitive abilities? We tested this in zebra finches raised under controlled cultural conditions. Our main finding: variation in song structure did not predict associative or reversal learning performance.

Christine Webb presented The Arrogant Ape. Drawing on primatology and animal cognition, she argues that human exceptionalism is more a cultural belief than a scientific fact. Seeing ourselves as part of—not above—the living world is a timely call for humility. #Evolution #AnimalBehaviour #EFP2026

New article! 🐦🤖 S.Derégnaucourt @sebrafinch.bsky.social revisits an early experiment on robotic tutoring for song learning in zebra finches, investigating whether robot movements alone are sufficient to support effective learning. Kudos summary: urlr.me/rv9ZWj Article: www.doi.org/10.1163/1568...
