TL;DR: It is argued that the non-breeding period is key to understand raven social life and, to a larger extent, avian social life in general and the combination of the large-scale perspective and the individual- scale perspective allows to better capture the complete set of social challenges experienced by individuals throughout their life, ultimately resulting on a more comprehensive understanding of species’ social complexity.

TL;DR: Intriguingly, prosociality was most prominent from male to male, and less likely among all other sex-combinations, suggesting the presence of male-exclusive networks in science, and may be based on an evolutionary history promoting strong male bonds.

TL;DR: Arousal-based changes are encoded in acoustic parameters of defensive calls in attacked ravens, and bystanders in the audience pay attention to the degree of arousal in attacked conspecifics, implying that common ravens can regulate conflicts with conspecials by means of vocalizations, and are able to gather social knowledge from Conspecific calls.

TL;DR: This article found that researchers are generally prosocial with 80% sharing a PDF of one of their latest papers, and almost 60% willing to send us their data, and that prosociality was most prominent from male to male, and less likely among all other sex-combinations.
