Crows can recognize geometric patterns, suggesting that humans aren't unique in understanding shape structure.

W hen most people think of shapes, they imagine a triangle, a rectangle, or maybe even a fancier- sounding rhombus or trapezoid. But to mathematicians, shapes encompass a vast universe of surprising ...

In a remarkable new study, crows demonstrated an intuitive grasp of geometry—identifying irregular shapes without training.

Scientists tested crows on their ability to recognize “geometric regularity,” a skill previously assumed to be unique to humans ...

Researchers have found an answer to a centuries-old floral mystery, using a mathematical model to explain how striped tulips ...

A trio of animal physiologists at the University of Tübingen, in Germany, has found that at least one species of crow has the ability to recognize geometric regularity. In their study published in the ...

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, ...
