Check out our review on the current state of carnivore cognition research authored by lab PI @AnimalSmarts and grad students Christina Sluka & @HannahGriebling! rdcu.be/cYZZ5 @SpringerANCO
The UBC Animal Behavior & Cognition lab’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Sarah Benson-Amram (@AnimalSmarts), was featured this June in National Geographic! Check out the article by @cdellamore to read about how raccoons are becoming “urban warriors” nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

Congrats to lab alumna @lisapbarrett!
Congrats to lab alumna @lisapbarrett!
Graduate students Hannah Griebling and Christina Sluka have recently let a project to publish a review on technology in cognition in the field and the importance of technology in advancing animal cognition and behavior research. Take a look! authors.elsevier.com/c/1evPQ8MqMiit…
Ever wonder how we identify raccoons we have already trapped? We use Passive Integrated Transponder Tags and antennas like this one to scan animals for their unique ID. This is just one way technology improves wildlife research! #raccoon #wildlifeecology #urbanecology
Have you seen these cameras around town? These camera stations are part of a study on how raccoons use storm drains here in Laramie! Stay tuned for videos of raccoon drain use around town! #raccoon #urbanwildlife #urbanecology # wildliferesearch #uwyo
Ever wondered how pigeons feel about Picasso and Monet?
Team Member Update! Christina is a PhD student in the ABC lab who is interested in the effect of urbanization on carnivore morphology and behavior. Christina will be assisting with an upcoming lab move and maintaining the University of Wyoming Raccoon Project.
Its nearing kit season! Remember the best way to keep a raccoon from denning in your chimney is to cap it! Cap it once, never worry again. Raccoon moms want a safe space for their kits and love chimneys for this purpose. See the link below for more info! humanesociety.org/resources/racc….
Team Member Update! Hannah is a PhD student investigating urban carnivore behavior and cognition and will be helping with our upcoming lab transition. Prior to joining, Hannah completed here masters on swordtail fish, check out the paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…).
Spotlight: Lisa Barrett graduated from the ABC Lab in March of 2020, and is now a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Researchers like Lisa provide important research that help improve animal welfare and conservation. See some work here: animalbehaviorandcognition.org/uploads/journa…
Congratulations DR. Lauren Stanton!! Lauren concluded 2020 by defending her doctoral dissertation titled "Experimental Investigations of Cognition in Highly Adaptable Species". See some of her publications here: link.springer.com/article/10.100… link.springer.com/article/10.100…
