However, that idea has been slow to penetrate biology. Yet now researchers are learning that just as human quirks and temperaments shape our lives and the world around us, the behavior patterns of individual animals affect their role in their ecosystem, their prospects for survival, and, ultimately, their evolution. Researchers have figured out how to quantify personality and are showing in studies of great tits, salamanders, stickleback fish, lizards, and social spiders why different personalities persist, how they might lead to speciation, and the role they might play in the spread of information and disease.

Thank you for studying crows. Are the following questions helpful in planning your experiments: 1. Could a "grieving" crow recognize you if that crow is used repeatedly? 2. Could the "dead" crow become recognized if the same crows grieve? 3. Could a common scent affect crows as well as visual recognition? 4. Could your vehicle be visually recognized? Hope all goes well or interpretively for your thesis.
