A Galapagos mockingbird, Nesomimus parvulus, pecks food from a sea lion's mouth. A herring gull (Larus argentatus) catches a small rabbit and. drops it on a rock, killing it in the process. A Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) lowers its body, tail first, into a mound, soaks up the water with its tail and then sucks it from the tuft. All these behaviours share the common property that they were deemed to be, by those authors responsible for their descriptions, novel/rare/never seen before in that species. The occurrence of actions that deviate from species-typical behavioural repertoires raises a series of fascinating questions. What are the origins of such novel behavioural patterns? Were these apparently extraordinary behaviours invented by those expressing them or were they inspired from watching the behaviour of others? What are the individual characteristics of those that invent novel behaviours? Are they particularly clever or do they display some other inherent, repeatable, property that makes them intrinsically more likely to perform novel actions? Are there environmental conditions that make individuals more likely to express novel behaviours? Do species differ in their propensity to display novel behaviours and if so, why? These are questions scientists have been tackling for nearly two decades.]]> Tue 11 Sep 2018 15:37:59 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1833 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:15 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11355 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:56 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10343 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:07:03 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23595 Australian Bird Names: A Complete Guide.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:21 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50374 Mon 24 Jul 2023 11:52:50 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32033 Mon 23 Sep 2019 14:02:00 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51913 Fri 22 Sep 2023 10:39:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43002 Fri 09 Sep 2022 14:10:32 AEST ]]>
