• of Intelligence and Personality (2008, background): “It is much like Spearman’s “g,” and it is largely heritable ( Deary, Spinath, and Bates, 2006; Petrill, 2002; Plomin, 2003).”
• Male satin bowerbird problem-solving ability predicts mating success (2009, unknown): “(1) Assuming general cognitive ability is heritable in the target species (e.g. humans: Deary et al. 2006; mice: Galsworthy et al. 2005), cognitively superior males may confer ‘good genes’ advantages on their offspring, and females may have evolved to choose males for these advantages.”
• Complex relationship between multiple measures of cognitive ability and male mating success in satin bowerbirds, Ptilonorhynchus violaceus (2011, background): “In fact, heritability of cognitive ability has been demonstrated in a number of species (mice: Galsworthy et al. 2005; humans: Plomin 2001; Deary et al. 2006; fish: Karino et al. 2005).”
• Wild psychometrics: evidence for ‘general’ cognitive performance in wild New Zealand robins, Petroica longipes (2015, background): “…are positively correlated across tasks assessing several cognitive domains, with a general factor typically accounting for 40% of total variance (Deary et al., 2006; Plomin, tasks (N ¼ 16), for all robins but excluding the spatial memory task (N ¼ 16), for all 3) and excluding the motor task…”
