Does Learning or Instinct Shape Habitat Selection?
Habitat selection is an important behavioural process widely studied for its population-level effects. Models of habitat selection are, however, often fit without a mechanistic consideration. Here, we investigated whether patterns in habitat selection result from instinct or learning for a population of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in Alberta, Canada. We found that habitat selection and related...
متن کاملMusicality: Instinct or Acquired Skill?
Is the human tendency toward musicality better thought of as the product of a specific, evolved instinct or an acquired skill? Developmental and evolutionary arguments are considered, along with issues of domain-specificity. The article also considers the question of why humans might be consistently and intensely drawn to music if musicality is not in fact the product of a specifically evolved ...
متن کاملLearning for Feature Selection and Shape Detection
The paper proposes a general framework for shape detection based on supervised symbolic learning. Differently from other visual systems exploiting machine learning, the proposed architecture does not follow the object segmentation feature extraction and (learning based) classification approach. Instead, an initial data-driven processing selects points of interest in the scene by means of comple...
متن کاملDoes habitat or depth influence catch rates of pelagic species?
The efficiency of a pelagic longline fishing operation and the species composition of the resulting catch is influenced primarily by the relationship between the distribution of hooks and species vulnerability, with vulnerability described by either depth or some suite of environmental variables. We therefore fitted longline catch rate models to determine whether catch is estimated better by ve...
متن کاملSeasonal Moose Habitat Selection
The moose is Minnesota’s largest wild animal. In December 2012 moose were proposed as a species of special concern under Minnesota law due to their population decline (Baker, 2012). Time series analysis of the northeast Minnesota moose population estimates conducted by Lenarz (2012) found a significant decline between 2005 and 2012. Moose habitat lacks highly specific requirements, depending mo...
