Juvenile Galápagos Pelicans Increase Their Foraging Success by Copying Adult Behaviour
Social learning is the building block of culture and traditions in humans and nonhuman animals, and its study has a long history. Most investigations have addressed either the causation or the function of social learning. Though much is known about the underlying mechanisms of social learning, demonstrations of its adaptive value in a natural setting are lacking. Here we show that juvenile brow...
متن کاملCopying Behaviour of Expressive Motion
In this paper we present an agent that can analyse certain human fullbody movements in order to respond in an expressive manner with copying behaviour. Our work focuses on the analysis of human full-body movement for animating a virtual agent, called Greta, able to perceive and interpret users’ expressivity and to respond properly. Our system takes in input video data related to a dancer moving...
متن کاملPatterns of GPS Tracks Suggest Nocturnal Foraging by Incubating Peruvian Pelicans (Pelecanus thagus)
Most seabirds are diurnal foragers, but some species may also feed at night. In Peruvian pelicans (Pelecanus thagus), the evidence for nocturnal foraging is sparse and anecdotal. We used GPS-dataloggers on five incubating Peruvian pelicans from Isla Lobos de Tierra, Perú, to examine their nocturnality, foraging movements and activities patterns at sea. All instrumented pelicans undertook noctur...
متن کاملEvolution of reciprocal altruism by copying observed behaviour
To make decisions, animals frequently use information gained from observing other individuals. In some cases they simply copy observed behaviour. Using computer simulations, we here investigate the impact of copying on the evolution of reciprocal altruism. We show that in populations where individuals repeatedly interact within small groups, copying facilitates the evolution of cooperation even...
متن کاملPredator-prey role reversals, juvenile experience and adult antipredator behaviour
Although biologists routinely label animals as predators and prey, the ecological role of individuals is often far from clear. There are many examples of role reversals in predators and prey, where adult prey attack vulnerable young predators. This implies that juvenile prey that escape from predation and become adult can kill juvenile predators. We show that such an exposure of juvenile prey t...
