Nereida Bueno-Guerra is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at Comillas Pontifical University, Spain.

Her main research interests lie in the evolutionary forces shaping the distribution of cognitive skills across vertebrates, combining behavioural observations and controlled experimental procedures, both in the wild and in captivity.
