How does the environment shape the ways an animal processes
information and makes decisions? How do constraints imposed on
nervous systems affect an animal's activities? To help answer these
questions, "Cognitive Ecology" integrates evolutionary ecology and
cognitive science, demonstrating how studies of perception, memory,
and learning can deepen our understanding of animal behavior and
ecology.
Individual chapters consider such issues as the evolution of
learning and its influence on behavior; the effects of cognitive
mechanisms on the evolution of signaling behavior; how
neurobiological and evolutionary processes have shaped navigational
activities; functional and mechanical explanations for altered
behaviors in response to changing environments; how foragers make
decisions and how these decisions are influenced by the risks of
predation; and how cognitive mechanisms affect partner choice.
"Cognitive Ecology" will encourage biologists to consider how
animal cognition affects behavior, and will also interest
comparative psychologists and cognitive scientists.
