Colonial breeding impacts potentially fitness-relevant cognitive processes in barn swallows

Abstract Many animals breed colonially, often in dense clusters, representing a complex social environment with cognitive demands that could ultimately impact individual fitness. However, the effects of social breeding on the evolution of cognitive processes remain largely unknown. We tested the hyp...
