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 …

ABSTRACT A mechanistic understanding of seed movement and survival is important both
for the development of theoretical models of plant population dynamics, spatial spread, and …

The diverse functional roles of over 6,000 species of extant mammals that range in body size
across eight orders of magnitude, from blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) to tiny …

This textbook helped to define the field of Behavioural Ecology. In this fourth edition the text
has been completely revised, with new chapters and many new illustrations and full colour …

We limit our discussion of food storage, or caching, to the movement of potential food items
from one location to another for eating at some later time. This activity occurs exclusively in …

A comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of what is currently known about the causes of
rape. Professor Ellis summarizes three theories-feminist theory, social learning theory, and …

Group-foraging ravens scatter-hoard when they are competing for food and, to some extent,
also raid the caches made by others. We investigated the effects of observational spatial …

Seed dispersal mutualisms with scatter-hoarders play a crucial role in population dynamics
of temperate large-seeded trees. These behaviors shape seed dispersal patterns, which can …

Most parids of temperate regions during the non-breeding season associate in small,
generally non-kin, flocks. The typical pattern is discrete social units, often with stable …
