Drinks With God

I Think Therefore I Threat Display


Listen Later

Grab your furry and scaly friends to join us for drinks this week with Camille as we discuss animal behavior and cognition! How exactly can you define intelligence, and to what degree can human behavior be considered distinctly human? From birds who teach their offspring to use tools to insects that farm fungi and raise other insects as livestock, there is no easy definition to anything in the animal kingdom! And, yes, we make sure to touch on my favorite subject, death, with elephant mourning practices.

REFERENCES in this episode were:

  • Mosquites and how they pollentate chocolate
  • the Mimic Octopus
  • Bearded Dragon threat displays
  • Ofer Tchernichovski's paper on song culture and a video of him talking about it
  • Chicken lek cycles as compared to land characteristics. (This is just a recent example and there are many papers looking at different factors)
  • Crayfish eavesdropping
  • Konrad Lorenz, who is basically the creator of imprinting idea.
  • a CBS elephant dictionary special
  • A way too long paper on Renee Descartes, his opinion on animals and automatons
  • Diana Reiss and dophins
  • some articles on octopus getting protection from research and cheating of the system to do so
  • the history of monkeys potato washing
  • caterpillar and ants herding
  • Long crazy history of Nature vs Nuture
