During operant transitive inference experiments, subjects are trained on adjacent stimulus pairs in an implicit linear hierarchy in which responses ...

The Evolution of Color Polymorphism: Crypticity, Searching Images, and Apostatic ...

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications (2007)

The development and maintenance of color polymorphism in cryptic prey species is a source of enduring fascination, in part because ...

Serial Reversal Learning and the Evolution of Behavioral Flexibility in ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2007)

Alan B. Bond, Alan Kamil and Russell P. Balda

In serial reversal learning, subjects learn to respond differentially to 2 stimuli. When the task is fully acquired, reward contingencies ...

Spatial Heterogeneity, Predator Cognition, and the Evolution of Color Polymorphism ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2006)

Alan B. Bond and Alan Kamil

Cryptically colored prey species are often polymorphic, occurring in multiple distinctive pattern variants. Visual predators promote such phenotypic variation through ...

Selective Attention, Priming, and Foraging Behavior

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2006)

Alan Kamil and Alan B. Bond

Animals selectively filter and transform their sensory input, increasing the accuracy with which some stimuli are detected and effectively ignoring ...

Social play in kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) with comparisons to kea ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2006)

Judy Diamond, Daryl Eason, Clio Reid and Alan B. Bond

The play behavior of the critically endangered kakapo (Strigops habroptilus; Aves: Psittaciformes: Psittacidae) is here compared to that of its ...

Geographic and ontogenetic variation in the contact calls of the ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2005)

Alan B. Bond and Judy Diamond

Regional and ontogenetic variation in the contact calls of the kea (Nestor notabilis), an omnivorous and socially complex New Zealand ...

Pinyon jays use transitive inference to predict social dominance

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2004)

Guillermo Paz-y-Miño C, Alan B. Bond, Alan Kamil and Russell P. Balda

Living in large, stable social groups is often considered to favor the evolution of enhanced cognitive abilities, such as recognizing ...

Social Play in Kaka (Nestor meridionalis) with Comparisons to Kea ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2004)

Judy Diamond and Alan B. Bond

Social play in the kaka (Nestor meridionalis), a New Zealand parrot, is described and contrasted with that of its closest ...

The Geometry of Foraging Patterns: Components of Thoroughness in Random ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2004)

A Monte Carlo simulation of the movements of a randomly-searching predator was used to develop a novel geometrical measure, the ...

A Comparative Analysis of Social Play in Birds

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2003)

Judy Diamond and Alan B. Bond

Although social play is broadly distributed among mammals, it is infrequently encountered in other vertebrate taxa. It is, however, displayed ...

Social Complexity and Transitive Inference in Corvids

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2003)

Alan B. Bond, Alan Kamil and Russell P. Balda

The social complexity hypothesis asserts that animals living in large social groups should display enhanced cognitive abilities along predictable dimensions. ...

Visual Predators Select for Crypticity and Polymorphism in Virtual Prey

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2002)

Alan B. Bond and Alan Kamil

Cryptically colored animals commonly occur in several distinct pattern variants. Such phenotypic diversity may be promoted by frequency-dependent predation, in ...

Cognition as an Independent Variable: Virtual Ecology

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (2002)

Alan C Kamil and Alan B Bond

On close examination, human cultural artifacts bear the unmistakable impress of the structure of the human mind: our tools, habitations. ...

The Evolution of Virtual Ecology

Alan Bond Publications (2001)

Alan Kamil and Alan B. Bond

The relationship between the perceptual and cognitive abilities of predatory birds and the appearance of their insect prey has long ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (1999)

Alan B Bond and Alan C Kamil

Repeated exposure to a single target type (sequential priming) during visual search for multiple cryptic targets commonly improves performance on ...

Apostatic selection by blue jays produces balanced polymorphism in virtual ...

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences (1998)
