Better the devil you know: common terns stay with a previous partner although pair bond duration does not affect breeding output.
In a monogamous species two partners contribute to the breeding process. We study pair formation as well as the effect of pair bond length and age on breeding performance, incorporating individual heterogeneity, based on a high-quality dataset of a long-lived seabird, the common tern (Sterna hirundo). To handle missing information and model the complicated processes driving reproduction, we use...
متن کاملBetter the Devil You Know than the Devil you Don’t An Inductive Theory of Choice
We propose and develop a theory of choice free of concepts such as utility function or preference relation. We replace the primitives used in traditional rational choice theories by similarity function— used to compare any alternative to a reference alternative— and a minimum distance choice function. It is shown that this model can explain the appearance of intransitive choices, which are cent...
متن کاملBetter the devil you know? Nonconscious processing of identity and affect of famous faces.
The nonconscious recognition of facial identity was investigated in two experiments featuring brief (17-msec) masked stimulus presentation to prevent conscious recognition. Faces were presented in simultaneous pairs of one famous face and one unfamiliar face, and participants attempted to select the famous face. Subsequently, participants rated the famous persons as "good" or "evil" (Experiment...
متن کاملBetter stay together: pair bond duration increases individual fitness independent of age-related variation.
Prolonged pair bonds have the potential to improve reproductive performance of socially monogamous animals by increasing pair familiarity and enhancing coordination and cooperation between pair members. However, this has proved very difficult to test robustly because of important confounds such as age and reproductive experience. Here, we address limitations of previous studies and provide a ri...
متن کاملBetter the devil you know: a dynamic duopoly model with switching and transportation costs
We present a dynamic duopoly model in which consumers have meanvariance preferences. Due to the form of the utility function, two effects arise endogenously in the presence of information asymmetries: (a) switching cost e¤ect, that increases the consumers willingness to pay for the brand that she tested before, and (b) perception e¤ect, that increases the consumers willingness to pay if the s...
