(Select publications list) Recent books (on animal behaviour) Her book Bird Minds (2015) was a landmark publication linking cognition to life histories of 500 species of native Australian landbirds. Her research has been supported by Australian Research Council (ARC) grants. Among other things, Professor Kaplan described the development and range of mimicry, discovered referential signaling and was the first to report pointing behaviour in any avian species. One of the model species for this research has been the Australian magpie, Gymnorhina tibicen) capable of elucidating important points about vocal learning, brain plasticity and the implications of sustained parental care, asking also why complex cognition had evolved in so many Australian birds and why so many are extremely long-lived compared to high latitude birds. The confirmation that the evolution of extant songbirds and parrots occurred in Australia provided a rich field of study of life histories of birds, an area in which her research is ongoing. Kaplan's main research interests are in complex cognition and communication both in birds and primates. Science, UQ- Excellence in Research Award), hon. She is regularly consulted by the media (national and international) and at times has her own segment on bird behaviour on ABC radio outlets plus podcasts on bird behaviour. Professor Kaplan serves on a variety of scientific research panels, on national granting bodies in Australia and elsewhere, is member of Editorial Boards of several journals, a member of the Springer series Board of Editors for its new Numanities series, is regular assessor for over 25 prestigious scientific international journals and in her spare time continues to participate in animal welfare debates, in environmental education and science interest in school children and the general public as well as rehabilitates native birds under licence. Cognition and behaviour of Australian native Birds' was awarded a prestigious Whitley Award (behavioural zoology). Her book 'The Australian Magpie' attained bestseller status by the publisher and in 2016 her book 'Bird Minds. Professor Kaplan has been recognised by a series of awards for her research and writings such as a shared human rights award in 1994, a Federation Community Services Award in 2001 (for services to wildlife), a Wilderness Society Award (2005), as a winner of the Australian Publishing Association Award in the single book category (2005). She has become a public voice for science on wildlife, especially native birds, and is regularly heard in public media. She is the author of over 250 research articles and 22 books, and has conducted ground-breaking research into vocal learning, communication and cognition of birds and other vertebrates. Professor Gisela Kaplan is an Emeritus Professor in Animal Behaviour in the School of Science and Technology.
