- Information
Description
This SpringerBrief answers the question on how birds recognize their predators using multidisciplinary approaches and outlines paths of the future research of predator recognition.
A special focus is put on the role of key features to discriminate against predators and non-predators.
The first part of the book provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms of predator recognition based on classical ethological studies in untrained birds.
The second part introduces a new view on the topic treating theories of cognitive ethology.
This approach involves examination of conditioned domestic pigeons and highlights the actual abilities of birds to recognize and categorize.
