Megjegyzések:	Experimentation is at the heart of classical and modern behavioral ecologyresearch. The manipulation of natural cues allows us to establish causa-tion between aspects of the environment, both internal and external toorganisms, and their effects on animals' behaviors. In recognition systemsresearch, including the quest to understand the coevolution of sensorycues and decision rules underlying the rejection of foreign eggs by hosts ofavian brood parasites, artificial stimuli have been used extensively, butnot without controversy. In response to repeated criticism about the valueof artificial stimuli, we describe four potential benefits of using them inegg recognition research, two each at the proximate and ultimate levels ofanalysis: (1) the standardization of stimuli for developmental studies and(2) the disassociation of correlated traits of egg phenotypes used for sensory discrimination, as well as (3) the estimation of the strength of selection on parasitic egg mimicry and (4) the establishment of the evolved limits of sensory and cognitive plasticity. We also highlight constraints ofthe artificial stimulus approach and provide a specific test of whetherresponses to artificial cues can accurately predict responses to naturalcues. Artificial stimuli have a general value in ethological research beyondresearch in brood parasitism and may be especially critical in field studiesinvolving the manipulation of a single parameter, where other, confoundingvariables are difficult or impossible to control experimentally or statistically.

Cím:	Is foraging time limited during winter? : A feeding experiment with tree sparrows under different predation risk / Ferenc Mónus, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:	2016
ISSN:	0179-1613
Megjegyzések:	Small passerines are faced with a trade-off when foraging during winter. Increasing energy reserves makes them more vulnerable to predators, while a low level of reserves exposes them to a high risk of starvation. Whether small birds under these circumstances are allowed to reduce their foraging activity under increased predation risk, for example in feeding sites more exposed to predators, remains controversial in former behavioural and ecological researches. In this study, we investigated the foraging activity of free-living Tree Sparrow Passer montanus flocks feeding on an artificial feeding platform. The predation risk perceived by the sparrows was manipulated by placing the platform either close to or far from a bushy shelter. Foraging activity, assessed as cumulative activity of sparrows per unit time on the platform, did not differ between the low-risk and the high-risk conditions and did not significantly change during the day. Feeding efficiency, assessed as pecking rate, was not either reduced under the high-risk condition. Our results suggest that sparrows were forced to feed almost continuously during the day in order to maintain their preferred level of energy reserves. However, several behavioural changes helped sparrows to adopt a safer foraging policy when feeding far from cover, as we found in another study. Altogether, sparrow flocks feeding far from cover decreased the overall foraging time (the time when any sparrow stayed on the platform) by approximately 20% as compared to the near cover condition. A possible way to maintain the same level of foraging activity despite of the reduction in overall foraging time is discussed.

Cím:	The effect of within-flock spatial position on the use of social foraging tactics in free-living tree sparrows / Ferenc Mónus, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:	2008
ISSN:	0179-1613
Megjegyzések:	The benefit of producer (searches for own food) or scrounger (exploits the others' food discoveries) foraging tactic in a group of socially feeding animals may depend on where the individual searches for food within the group. Scrounging may be more advantageous in the centre of the group, having more individuals around to join, while producing may be more beneficial at the edges, where more unexplored food patches may be found. This study shows within-flock position correlates with forag- ing tactic use of feeding birds in socially foraging tree sparrows, Passer montanus. Sparrows staying closer to the centre of the flock found their food patches more requently by joining (i.e. use more frequently the scrounging tactic) than those staying toward the edges. To our knowledge this is the first field study demonstrating the relationship between spatial position and foraging tactic use. We investigated this relationship under different perceived predation hazard, and found that under elevated risk of predation, central individuals may increase their use of joining more than individuals on the periphery of the flock. Moreover, we show that extremely specialized use of searching tactics may be very infrequent in tree sparrows. As both within-flock position and search tactic use can be altered very quickly and without leaving the flock, individuals may easily alter them in order to adjust their behaviour.

Cím:	How to Spot a Stranger's Egg? : a Mimicry-Specific Discordancy Effect in the Recognition of Parasitic Eggs / Csaba Moskat, Aniko Zölei, Mikl os Bán, Zoltan Elek, Lainga Tong, Nikoletta Geltsch, Mark E. Haube
Dátum:	2014
ISSN:	0179-1613
Megjegyzések:	Egg discrimination by hosts is an antiparasitic defence to reject foreign eggsfrom the nest. Even when mimetic, the presence of brood parasitic egg(s)typically alters the overall similarity of all eggs in a clutch, producing a dis-cordant clutch compared to more homogenous clutches of composed onlyof hosts' own eggs. In multiple parasitism, the more foreign eggs are laidin the nest, the more heterogeneous the overall clutch appears. Perceptualfilters and recognition templates cannot explain the known pattern oflower rejection rates of foreign eggs in multiple vs. single parasitism. Wetherefore assessed the role of clutch homogeneity and manipulated thecolour of one or more eggs in the clutches of great reed warbler (Acroceph-alus arundinaceus) hosts of common cuckoos (Cuculus canorus). Varying thecolours of both the majority and the minority eggs caused predictableshifts in the rejection of the focal egg(s), and ejection rates of the minorityegg colour consistently increased but only when it belonged to a moremimetic egg colour, relative to the less mimetic colour of majority eggs.The results imply that in addition to sensory filters, and template-basedcognitive decision rules, discordancy-based rejection is affected by theoverall clutch appearance and interacts with specific colours varying inthe extent of mimicry, to contribute to the recognition decisions of hosts to reject parasitic eggs.

Cím:	Androgens Increase Persistence But Do Not Affect Neophobia in a Problem-Solving Context in a Songbird / Zoltán Németh, Ryan H. Adams, Marilyn Ramenofsky
Dátum:	2015
ISSN:	0179-1613 1439-0310
Megjegyzések:	Gonadal steroid hormones enhance cognitive performance, particularly spatial and vocal learning, in mammals and birds. However, it is unknown whether problem-solving ability is similarly regulated. We propose that androgens, such as testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone, play a role in mediating problem-solving behavior as well. As a test, male white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii) were either castrated and administered a blank (Blank-castrate) or testosterone-filled implant (T-castrate) or were sham operated and were exposed to a novel feeder, which they had to open to receive a food reward, in two trials. Testosterone treatment affected neither a neophobic response nor problem?solving performance. However, T-castrates were more persistent in manipulating the feeder than Blank-castrates or Shams. Furthermore, their persistence correlated positively with circulating levels of both testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone. We suggest that a positive correlation between sex steroids and persistence in foraging and problem?solving contexts may lead to an adaptive increase in resource acquisition in the breeding season. Given the overall low success on the problem?solving test, we cannot confidently conclude that androgens do not play a role in mediating problem-solving behavior. However, unlike in mammals, it seems these hormones do not significantly influence neophobia in foraging contexts in birds.

Cím:	Colony size, nestmate density and social history shape behavioural variation in Formica fusca colonies / Anna Ágnes Somogyi, András Tartally, István Elek Maák, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:	2020
ISSN:	0179-1613 1439-0310
Megjegyzések:	In ants, individuals live in tightly integrated units (colonies) and work collectively for its success. In such groups, stable intraspecific variation in behaviour within or across contexts (personality) can occur at two levels: individuals and colonies. This paper examines how colony size and nestmate density influence the collective exploratory behaviour of Formica fusca (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in the laboratory. The housing conditions of the colonies were manipulated to vary the size of colonies and their densities under a fully factorial design. The results demonstrate the presence of colony behavioural repeatability in this species, and contrary to our expectations, colonies were more explorative on average when they were kept at lower nestmate densities. We also found that experimental colonies created from larger source colonies were more explorative, which conveys that a thorough understanding of the contemporary behaviour of a colony may require knowing its social history and how it was formed. Our results also convey that the colony size and nestmate density can have significant effects on the exploratory behaviour of ant colonies.
