Conspecific and Heterospecific Information Use in Bumblebees
Heterospecific social learning has been understudied in comparison to interactions between members of the same species. However, the learning mechanisms behind such information use can allow animals to be flexible in the cues that are used. This raises the question of whether conspecific cues are inherently more influential than cues provided by heterospecifics, or whether animals can simply us...
متن کاملConspecific and heterospecific social learning in shiny cowbirds
We tested whether shiny cowbirds,Molothrus bonariensis, can improve the acquisition of a feeding response by observing a demonstrator of their own species or a species with which they share roosts and foraging flocks. We trained birds to peck a transilluminated response key using a classical conditioning procedure (the key was transilluminated for 10 s and then food was delivered to a hopper). ...
متن کاملSperm performance in conspecific and heterospecific female fluid
Divergent sexual selection within allopatric populations may result in divergent sexual phenotypes, which can act as reproductive barriers between populations upon secondary contact. This hypothesis has been most tested on traits involved in precopulatory sexual selection, with less work focusing on traits that act after copulation and before fertilization (i.e., postcopulatory prezygotic trait...
متن کاملBehaviouralresponsesby Red - Backedsalamanders to Conspecific and Heterospecific Cues
Chemical cues released from injured prey are thought to indicate the proximity of a predator or predation event, and therefore, an area of elevated predation risk. Prey often avoid chemical cues released from injured heterospecics, but there is little evidence to determine whether this is due to homologous cues among phylogeneticallyrelated species, or avoidance of injured syntopic species tha...
متن کاملSettling Decisions and Heterospecific Social Information Use in Shrikes
Animals often settle near competitors, a behavior known as social attraction, which belies standard habitat selection theory. Two hypotheses account for these observations: individuals obtain Allee benefits mediated by the physical presence of a competitor, or they use successfully settled individual as a source of information indicating the location of high quality habitat. We evaluated these ...
