Many animal species have been shown to discriminate between individual humans in captive settings and may use a variety of cues do so. Empirical evidence remains scarce for animals the wild, however, particularly aquatic contexts. For first time, we investigated discrimination by fish wild. We trained two fish, saddled sea bream Oblada melanura black Spondyliosoma cantharus , follow human diver obtain food reward. then whether they could divers correct one an operant-conditioning paradigm....
Three main mechanisms have been proposed to explain divergent decisions between species faced with the same options: differences in sensory abilities, attentional capacities, or cognitive evaluations. While these well-established controlled settings, there is limited empirical evidence regarding ways which different make under varying perceptual loads. Here we investigated decision-making processes of two closely related cichlid species, Aulonocranus dewindti and Cyathopharynx furcifer, Lake...
The social intelligence hypothesis posits that animals living in more complex groups display better cognitive performances. However, this has mainly been investigated primates and studies using similar paradigms across different species are scarce. We tested three of wild Lamprologine shell-dwelling cichlids from Lake Tanganyika (Neolamprologus multifasciatus, Lamprologus ocellatus, ornatipinnis) vary their levels sociality, identical colour associative learning tasks. found differences...
Abstract Cognitive flexibility, the ability to modify one’s decision rules adapt a new situation, has been extensively studied in many species. In fish, though, data on cognitive flexibility are scarce, especially wild. We lekking species of cichlid fish Lake Tanganyika, Aulonocranus dewindti . Males create sand bowers as spawning sites and maintain them by removing any objects falling into it. first part our experiment, we investigated existence spontaneous for maintenance bowers. showed...
The ability to control one's vocal production is a major advantage in acoustic communication. Yet, not all species have the same level of over their output. Several bird can interrupt song upon hearing an external stimulus, but there no evidence how flexible this behavior is. Most research on corvids focuses cognitive abilities, few studies explore aptitudes. Recent shows that crows be experimentally trained vocalize response brief visual stimulus. Our study investigated abilities with more...
Abstract A central challenge in understanding the evolution of cognition is ability to compare a set species differing trait interest while being ecologically and phylogenetically close. Here, we examine whether differences bower‐building flexibility are related cognitive between two Tanganyikan cichlids. Cognitive enables animals modify their decision rules when faced with new situations, inhibitory control, inhibit normally favoured response, an essential component this capacity. We tested...
