Megjegyzések:Innovative behaviors such as exploiting novel food sources can grant significant fitness benefits for animals, yet little is known about the mechanisms driving such phenomena, and the role of physiology is virtually unexplored in wild species. Two hypotheses predict opposing effects of physiological state on innovation success. On one hand, poor physiological condition may promote innovations by forcing individuals with poor competitive abilities to invent alternative solutions. On the other hand, superior physiological condition may ensure greater cognitive capacity and thereby better problem-solving and learning performance. To test these hypotheses, we studied the behavior of wild-caught house sparrows (Passer domesticus) in 4 novel tasks of food acquisition, one of which was presented to the birds in repeated trials, and we investigated the relationships of individual performance with relevant physiological traits. We found that problem-solving performance across the 4 tasks was moderately consistent within individuals. Birds with lower integrated levels of corticosterone, the main avian stress hormone, solved the most difficult task faster and were more efficient learners in the repeated task than birds with higher corticosterone levels. Birds with higher concentration of total glutathione, a key antioxidant, solved 2 relatively easy tasks faster, whereas birds with fewer coccidian parasites tended to solve the difficult task more quickly. Our results, thus, indicate that aspects of physiological state influence problem-solving performance in a context-dependent manner, and these effects on problem-solving capacity, probably including cognitive abilities, are more likely to drive individual innovation success than necessity due to poor condition.

Cím:The effect of energy reserves on social foraging: hungry sparrows scrounge more / Ádám Z. Lendvai, Zoltán Barta, András Liker, Veronika Bókony
Dátum:2004
ISSN:0962-8452
Megjegyzések:Animals often use alternative strategies when they compete for resources, but it is unclear in most cases what factors determine the actual tactic followed by individuals. Although recent models suggest that the internal state of animals may be particularly important in tactic choice, the effects of state variables on the use of alternative behavioural forms have rarely been demonstrated. In this study, using experimental wind exposure to increase overnight energy expenditure, we show that flock-feeding house sparrows (Passer domesticus) with lowered energy reserves increase their use of scrounging (exploiting others' food findings) during their first feed of the day. This result is in accordance with the prediction of a state-dependent model of use of social foraging tactics. We also show that scrounging provides less variable feeding rates and patch finding times than the alternative tactic. These latter results support the theoretical assumption that scrounging is a risk-averse tactic, i.e. it reduces the risk of immediate starvation. As the level of energy reserves predicts the use of social foraging tactics, we propose that selection should favour individuals that monitor the internal state of flock mates and use this information to adjust their own tactic choice.

Cím:The effects of energy reserves and dominance on the use of social-foraging strategies in the house sparrow / Ádám Z. Lendvai, András Liker, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:2006
Megjegyzések:In social animals, dominance rank often influences individuals' behaviour, but in most cases it is unknown how dominance modulates the effects of other phenotypic traits. We investigated the mutual effects of social dominance and the level of energy reserves on the use of social-foraging strategies in captive flocks of house sparrows, Passer domesticus.We used experimental wind exposure to manipulate overnight energy expenditure of dominant and subordinate individuals. In response to the experimental treatment dominants used scrounging (exploiting others' food finding) significantly more, whereas for subordinates there was only a moderate and nonsignificant increase in scrounging. Individual variability in the frequency of scrounging was higher in subordinates than in dominants and this difference between the dominance groups was unaffected by the treatment. These results suggest that individuals of different dominance status adopt different strategies: to cope with an energetically challenging situation, dominants behave rather uniformly by increasing further their preference for scrounging, whereas subordinates do not alter their tactic, but may rely on using scrounging opportunistically.

Cím:Kinship and aggression: do house sparrows spare their relatives? / Tóth Zoltán, Bókony Veronika, Lendvai Ádám Z., Szabó Krisztián, Pénzes Zsolt, Liker András
Dátum:2009
ISSN:0340-5443 1432-0762
Megjegyzések:Kin-selection theory predicts that relatedness may reduce the level of aggression among competing group members, leading to indirect fitness benefits for kin-favoring individuals. To test this hypothesis, we investigated whether relatedness affects aggressive behavior during social activities in captive house sparrow (Passer domesticus) flocks. We found that sparrows did not reduce their aggression towards kin, as neither the frequency nor the intensity of fights differed between close kin and unrelated flock-mates. Fighting success was also unrelated to kinship and the presence of relatives in the flock did not influence the birds' dominance rank. These results suggest that the pay-offs of reduced aggression towards kin may be low in non-breeding flocks of sparrows, e.g. due to competition among relatives as predicted by a recent refinement of kin-selection theory. Our findings indicate that the significance of kin selection may be restricted in some social systems such as winter aggregations of birds.

Cím:Whom do the sparrows follow? The effect of kinship on social preference in house sparrow flocks / Tóth Zoltán, Bókony Veronika, Lendvai Ádám Z., Szabó Krisztián, Pénzes Zsolt, Liker András
Dátum:2009
ISSN:0376-6357
Megjegyzések:Non-aggressive social interactions between group-mates, e.g. maintenance of spatial proximity or activity synchrony are basic elements of a species' social structure, and were found to be associated with important fitness consequences in group-living animals. In the establishment of such affiliative relationships, kinship has often been identified as one of the key predictors, but this has rarely been studied in simple social groups such as flocks of gregarious birds. In this study we investigated whether kinship affects social preference, as measured by the tendency to associate with others during various social activities, in captive house sparrow (Passer domesticus) flocks where birds could interact with differently related flock-mates. We found that preference between flock-mates was correlated with familiarity from early nestling period: same-brood siblings followed their sib initiating new activities more often than non-sib birds. The strength of association between birds also tended to correlate with genetic relatedness, but this was mainly due to the effect of siblings' affiliation. Thus we concluded that house sparrows prefer the company of their siblings during social activities even well after fledging, which may facilitate kin-biased behaviours.

Cím:Effects of relatedness on social-foraging tactic use in house sparrows / Tóth Zoltán, Bókony Veronika, Lendvai Ádám Z., Szabó Krisztián, Pénzes Zsolt, Liker András

ISSN:0003-3472
Megjegyzések:Kin selection is often important in the evolution of reproductive behaviour, but we know much less about its significance for nonreproductive social groups. We investigated whether relatedness affects social-foraging behaviour in captive house sparrow, Passer domesticus, flocks, where birds may either search for food or exploit flockmates' food findings by scrounging. In such systems, both increased and decreased frequency of scrounging from relatives can be predicted by kin selection theory, depending on the relative costs and benefits of exploiting close kin. We found that birds used aggressive joining less often and obtained less food by that tactic from their close kin than from unrelated flockmates. In nonaggressive joinings, males also tended to join less often and obtained less food from close kin flockmates than from unrelated birds, whereas an opposite trend was found in females. Close kin males also spent less time feeding together from the same food patch than unrelated males, further suggesting reduced exploitation by male kin. These results suggest that house sparrows are able to recognize their close kin flockmates and reduce aggressive scrounging towards them, and that the sexes may differ in some forms of kin exploitation.
