Trimmer P, Ehlman S, McNamara J, Sih A
Proc Biol Sci
. 2017 Oct;
284(1865).
PMID: 29046382
Signal detection theory has influenced the behavioural sciences for over 50 years. The theory provides a simple equation that indicates numerous 'intuitive' results; e.g. prey should be more prone to...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2017 Jan;
284(1847).
PMID: 28100814
Human activity alters natural habitats for many species. Understanding variation in animals' behavioural responses to these changing environments is critical. We show how signal detection theory can be used within...

Am Nat
. 2016 Apr;
187(5):620-32.
PMID: 27104994
Development is a continuous process during which individuals gain information about their environment and adjust their phenotype accordingly. In many natural systems, individuals are particularly sensitive to early life experiences,...

. 2015 Apr;
2015(1):123-35.
PMID: 25916884
Background And Objectives: Depression is a major medical problem diagnosed in an increasing proportion of people and for which commonly prescribed psychoactive drugs are frequently ineffective. Development of treatment options...

Behav Sci (Basel)
. 2014 Nov;
3(3):501-521.
PMID: 25379252
Moods can be regarded as fluctuating dispositions to make positive and negative evaluations. Developing an evolutionary approach to mood as an adaptive process, we consider the structure and function of...

Trends Cogn Sci
. 2014 Jan;
18(3):153-61.
PMID: 24467913
Models and experiments on adaptive decision-making typically consider highly simplified environments that bear little resemblance to the complex, heterogeneous world in which animals (including humans) have evolved. These studies reveal...

. 2013 Jun;
28(8):469-73.
PMID: 23790393
Apparently irrational biases such as overconfidence, optimism, and pessimism are increasingly studied by biologists, psychologists, and neuroscientists. Functional explanations of such phenomena are essential; we argue that recent proposals, focused...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2013 Jun;
280(1763):20130858.
PMID: 23740781
Understanding decisions is a fundamental aim of behavioural ecology, psychology and economics. The regularity axiom of utility theory holds that a preference between options should be maintained when other options...

Generalized optimal risk allocation: foraging and antipredator behavior in a fluctuating environment
Higginson A, Fawcett T, Trimmer P, McNamara J, Houston A
Am Nat
. 2012 Oct;
180(5):589-603.
PMID: 23070320
Animals live in complex environments in which predation risk and food availability change over time. To deal with this variability and maximize their survival, animals should take into account how...
