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.
