项目摘要
Parenting behavior, an important trait in many organisms, exhibits a curious pattern - individual parents are often flexible in response to variable conditions (e.g., time of season, number and age of offspring, and the behavior of other caregivers), yet also exhibit consistently different levels of care. Individual differences in care could be due to differences in cognitive skill at finding food. This project will measure between-individual differences and within-individual adjustments in care using a wild population of house sparrows (Passer domesticus). A capstone experiment will provide subjects with an array of foraging tests allowing assessment of individual food-finding skills. The resulting data will test the idea that individuals who perform well on novel foraging tasks exhibit higher levels of care. The experiment would provide the first evidence from free-living animals that cognitive abilities impact individual variation in parental care. This would advance our understanding of diversity in parental behavior and the evolution of cognition in animal groups exhibiting care, including humans. The findings also may provide insight into the mechanisms leading to the success of some animals, especially the invasive house sparrow, at adapting to human-induced changes in habitat. Finally, this project will enhance the conceptual and empirical training of a talented young scientist. It will provide opportunities to mentor undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds; these students will experience the scientific method in a field setting, learn modern techniques in studying behavior, and gain expertise in statistical analysis.
养育行为是许多生物体的一个重要特征,表现出一种奇怪的模式-个体父母通常对可变条件做出灵活的反应(例如,季节的时间,后代的数量和年龄,以及其他照顾者的行为),但也表现出一贯不同的照顾水平。护理的个体差异可能是由于在寻找食物的认知技能的差异。本项目将测量个体间差异和个体内调整护理使用野生种群的家雀(Passer arteriticus)。顶点实验将为受试者提供一系列觅食测试,以评估个人的觅食技能。由此产生的数据将测试这样一种观点,即在新的觅食任务中表现良好的个体表现出更高的护理水平。该实验将提供来自自由生活的动物的第一个证据,证明认知能力影响父母照顾的个体差异。这将促进我们对父母行为多样性的理解,以及包括人类在内的表现出关怀的动物群体的认知进化。这些发现还可以深入了解导致某些动物成功适应人类引起的栖息地变化的机制,特别是入侵性家雀。最后,该项目将加强对有才华的青年科学家的概念和经验培训。它将为来自不同背景的本科生提供指导机会;这些学生将在现场环境中体验科学方法,学习研究行为的现代技术,并获得统计分析方面的专业知识。
