The fusion of behavioral ecology and ecology
Behavioral ecology and ecology have projects in common. Community ecology can provide behavioral ecology with the tools to ask realistic questions about the current action of natural selection. Evolutionary ecology has moved beyond asking ‘‘Why does trait x contribute to reproductive success?’’ and on to ‘‘What are the conditions under which trait x contributes to reproductive success?’’ We nee...
متن کاملThe behavioral ecology of amblypygids
Arachnologists have uncovered tantalizing details about amblypygid behavioral ecology—the study of the fitness consequences of their behavior. Thus, it is the aim of this review to position Amblypygi as a useful system in which to investigate the principles of animal behavioral ecology. We synthesize amblypygid habitat preference and navigation modalities; predator, prey, parasite, parasitoid, ...
متن کاملBehavioral Ecology: Social Organization in Fission–Fusion Societies
In many group-living species, integrated movement decisions made by individuals scale up to group motion. Groups merge (fusion) or split (fission) as they move through the environment, making group composition a dynamic property. If individuals can modify the persistence of associations with certain others, complex higher-order social structure can result. African elephant societies represent o...
متن کاملBehavioral Ecology: Manipulative Mutualism
A new study reveals that an apparent mutualism between lycaenid caterpillars and their attendant ants may not be all it seems, as the caterpillars produce secretions that modify the brains and behavior of their attendant ants.
متن کاملComputational Behavioral Ecology
Computation has fundamentally changed the way we study nature. New data collection technology, such as GPS, high definition cameras, UAVs, genotyping, and crowdsourcing, are generating data about wild populations that are orders of magnitude richer than any previously collected. Unfortunately, in this domain as in many others, our ability to analyze data lags substantially behind our ability to...
