Birders who submit their checklists to eBird likely know that their data may be used to conduct research on avian migration, range, or population. It has also been used by researchers from other fields, such as economists. I emailed the Dr. Lopez and asked about this research and the use of eBird data.

We know that the human mind has capacities that are not common in other animals. For example, humans have “Theory of Mind” which is not a theory in the scientific sense, but rather, a capacity whereby we have an internal theory of what is going on in other people’s minds. But that’s another story. Here’s the idea. Just eat the food.

This is an idea that has been around for more than a century, to which recent research has given considerable support.

They are a commensal species, meaning that they are a wild animal that lives in close association with humans, not as a pet or as a farm animal but more like a parasite, to the extent that it is hard to find them in truely wild settings, and it is hard to find human settlements without them. When a car comes along they fly away.

Plasticity in humans is probably modulated primarily through experience and enculturation. Presumably the humans keep away the predators. The paper is in Natrure Scientific Reports.
