The Ethology of Predation
TL;DR: This chapter discusses hunting for Prey, the Diversity of Hunting Methods, and the Motivation Underlying Feeding Responses of Predator-Prey Interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The adaptive significance of avian mobbing: II. Cultural transmission of enemy recognition in blackbirds: Effectiveness and some constraints.
TL;DR: The “Cultural Transmission Hypothesis” and the “Alerting Others Hypot hypothesis” of enemy recognition in birds was examined in mobbing experiments with captive blackbirds and strength of the observer's enhanced response was comparable to that elicited by a genuine predator.
Journal ArticleDOI
The functional organization of anti-predator behaviour in the pied flycatcher: a study of avian visual perception.
TL;DR: It is concluded that recognition of owls, shrikes, and novel birds is innate, and two simple formalisms are proposed that can account for ‘weighted summation’ of sign stimuli with stimulus dilation being a special case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultural Transmission of Enemy Recognition: One Function of Mobbing
TL;DR: Experiments with captive European black-birds support one of these—the "cultural transmission hypothesis." Perceiving a mobbing conspecific together with a novel, harmless bird induced blackbirds to mob the innocuous object.
