Perception of artificial conspecifics by bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) (2018)
Journal Article
Frohnwieser, A., Pike, T. W., Murray, J. C., & Wilkinson, A. (2019). Perception of artificial conspecifics by bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps). Integrative Zoology, 14(2), 214-222. https://doi.org/10.1111/1749-4877.12303

Artificial animals are increasingly used as conspecific stimuli in animal behavior research. However, researchers often have an incomplete understanding of how the species under study perceives conspecifics, and, hence, which features are needed for...
