| Abstract | Laterality is a preference for employing one side of the body when engaging in a certain behaviors or mental processes. Evidence of laterality has been obtained in numerous species (for review see Rogers & Andrew 2002, Vallortigara & Rogers 2005), and it has been suggested that such side preferences may be related to various aspects of mental (e.g. van der Hoorn et al. 2010) and physical (e.g. Quaranta et al. 2006) health. Given this, understanding the lateral tendencies of a species could eventually come to aid conservation efforts. Here we present preliminary evidence of behavioral laterality in the critically endangered Northern Bald Ibis Geronticus eremita and discuss the need for additional work in this area. |
