Cognitive processes such as perception, learning, memory and decision making play an
important role in mate choice, foraging and many other behaviours. In this review, I …

The development and maintenance of color polymorphism in cryptic prey species is a
source of enduring fascination, in part because it appears to result from selective processes …

Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

Ecological research in the past few decades has shown that most animals acquire and
respond adaptively to information that affects survival and reproduction. At the same time …

Cryptically coloured animals commonly occur in several distinct pattern variants. Such
phenotypic diversity may be promoted by frequency-dependent predation, in which more …

Driven by both applied and theoretical goals, scientific interest in canine cognition has
experienced a rapid surge in popularity, especially over the last 15 years. Here we provide …

This review focuses on the evolutionary causes and consequences of limited attention,
defined as the restricted rate of information processing by the brain. The available data …

Predators are known to select food of the same type in non-random sequences or “runs” that
are longer than would be expected by chance. If prey are conspicuous, predators will switch …

Cryptically colored prey species are often polymorphic, occurring in multiple distinctive
pattern variants. Visual predators promote such phenotypic variation through apostatic …

'Accounting for the sensory abilities of animals is critical in experimental design.'No
researcher would disagree with this statement, yet it is often the case that we inadvertently …
