Although the evolution of cognitive differences among species has long been of interest in ecology, whether natural selection acts on cognitive processes within populations has only begun to receive similar attention. One of the key challenges is to

Multiple factors affect discrimination learning performance, but not between-individual variation, in wild mixed-species flocks of birds

Cognition arguably drives most behaviours in animals, but whether and why individuals in the wild vary consistently in their cognitive performance is scarcely known, especially under mixed-species scenarios. One reason for this is that quantifying th

Inhibitory control performance is repeatable over time and across contexts in a wild bird population

Inhibitory control is one of several cognitive mechanisms required for self-regulation, decision making and attention towards tasks. Inhibitory control is expected to influence behavioural plasticity in animals, for example in the context of foraging

Territorial animals often respond less aggressively to neighbours than strangers. This ‘dear enemy’ effect is hypothesized to be adaptive by reducing unnecessary aggressive interactions with non-threatening individuals. A key prediction of this h

Cognition and covariance in the producer-scrounger game

Autor: Josh A. Firth, John L. Quinn, Michael S. Reichert, Gabrielle L. Davidson, Julie Morand-Ferron, Ipek G. Kulahci, Sam J. Crofts

The producer-scrounger game is a key element of foraging ecology in many systems. Producing and scrounging typically covary negatively, but partitioning this covariance into contributions of individual plasticity and consistent between individual dif
