PMID: 37416826
The extent to which animal societies exhibit social conformity as opposed to behavioural diversity is commonly attributed to adaptive learning strategies. Less attention is given to the possibility that the...

Behav Brain Sci
. 2022 Sep;
45:e167.
PMID: 36098428
Uchiyama et al. emphasize that culture evolves directionally and differentially as a function of selective pressures in different populations. Extending these principles to the level of families, lineages, and individuals...

Anim Cogn
. 2022 May;
25(6):1545-1555.
PMID: 35641754
Based on past experience, food-related-cues can help foragers to predict the presence and the expected quality of food. However, when the food is already visible there is no need to...

The evidence for divergent sexual selection among closely related barn swallow populations is strong
Lotem A, Vortman Y, Safran R
Evolution
. 2022 May;
76(9):2204-2211.
PMID: 35561267
Lifjeld's comment provides an opportunity to illustrate the intricacies of the "regression to the mean" (RTM) effect, to clarify the difficulty in teasing apart RTM from allocation bias, and to...

PLoS Biol
. 2022 Jan;
20(1):e3001519.
PMID: 34986149
What makes cognition "advanced" is an open and not precisely defined question. One perspective involves increasing the complexity of associative learning, from conditioning to learning sequences of events ("chaining") to...

Am Nat
. 2020 Mar;
195(4):664-677.

Behav Brain Sci
. 2019 Apr;
42:e44.
PMID: 30940254
We propose that food-related uncertainty is but one of multiple cues that predicts harsh conditions and may activate "incentive hope." An evolutionarily adaptive response to these would have been to...
