    Experts Studying Animal Intelligence Across Species Are Finding Patterns No One Expected

    A new special issue in Acta Ethologica explores the diverse ways animals think, learn, and interact, revealing 'intellectual biodiversity' across species from ants to whales. Scientists are uncovering complex cognitive abilities in invertebrates, challenging previous assumptions. The collection highlights how individual and social learning, alongside environmental pressures, shape animal intelligence and adaptation.

    Association of avian biodiversity and West Nile Virus circulation in Culex mosquitoes in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

    Association of avian biodiversity and West Nile Virus circulation in Culex mosquitoes in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

    Author summary West Nile Virus (WNV) circulates primarily between Culex mosquitoes and birds, yet the association between avian biodiversity and WNV transmission remains debated. Focusing on Emilia-Romagna, Italy, one of Europe’s WNV hotspots, we analysed 11 years (2013–2023) of entomological surveillance data alongside two avian datasets: bird census data from the Farmland Bird Index project and abundance estimates from the citizen-science project eBird. These datasets allowed us to test the dilution effect hypothesis (DEH) at both broad and fine spatiotemporal resolutions. Our findings support the DEH for WNV, showing that higher avian biodiversity is associated with reduced WNV activity. Additionally, we found that non-passerine species richness is linked to lower WNV transmission risk, while passerine species richness is associated with higher risk. These results point towards the potential amplifying role of passerine species and the protective role of non-passerine species in WNV transmission dynamics, with implications for species conservation, public health practice, and future modelling studies.
