To help answer these questions, \u003ci\u003eCognitive Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e integrates evolutionary ecology and cognitive science, demonstrating how studies of perception, memory, and learning can deepen our understanding of animal behavior and ecology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Individual chapters consider such issues as the evolution of learning and its influence on behavior; the effects of cognitive mechanisms on the evolution of signaling behavior; how neurobiological and evolutionary processes have shaped navigational activities; functional and mechanical explanations for altered behaviors in response to changing environments; how foragers make decisions and how these decisions are influenced by the risks of predation; and how cognitive mechanisms affect partner choice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCognitive Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e will encourage biologists to consider how animal cognition affects behavior, and will also interest comparative psychologists and cognitive scientists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reuven Dukas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226169332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226169330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.08w x 1.04d","brand":"Reuven Dukas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517278236927,"sku":"9780226169330","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e569fad-bd32-445b-b1f8-8edb7988b3ae.jpg?v=1778731084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cognitive-ecology-reuven-dukas-9780226169330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
