Enhancing the ecological realism of evolutionary mismatch theory
TLDR
In this paper , the authors present an expanded cue-response framework for predicting variation in behavioral responses to novel situations, which can be used when individuals have three behavioral options (approach, avoid, or ignore).Abstract:
Following rapid environmental change, why do some animals thrive, while others struggle? We present an expanded, cue-response framework for predicting variation in behavioral responses to novel situations. We show how signal detection theory can be used when individuals have three behavioral options (approach, avoid, or ignore). Based on this theory, we outline predictions about which animals are more likely to make mistakes around novel conditions (i.e., fall for a trap or fail to use an undervalued resource) and the intensity of that mismatch (i.e., severe versus moderate). Explicitly considering three options provides a more holistic perspective and allows us to distinguish between severe and moderate traps, which could guide management strategies in a changing world. read more

Fear generalization and behavioral responses to multiple dangers.

TL;DR: For example, this paper found that fear of one danger is correlated with fear of other dangers (e.g., humans, pathogens, moving vehicles, or fire) across diverse taxa.

Integrating sensory ecology and predator-prey theory to understand animal responses to fire.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors integrate cue-response sensory ecology and predator-prey theory to predict and explain variation in if, when, and how animals react to approaching fire.

Evolutionary history mediates population response to rapid environmental change through within-generational and transgenerational plasticity
Dale Clements,Isabelle P. Neylan,Nicholas J. Roberts,Sebastian J. Schreiber,Pete C. Trimmer,Andrew Sih +5 more
TL;DR: This work provides a general framework for understanding the role of plasticity in population responses to rapid environmental change and evaluates the predictions that populations adapted to highly variable environments, or with greater within-generational plasticity, are more likely to successfully respond to environmental change.

Variation in plastic consumption: social group size enhances individual susceptibility to an evolutionary trap
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined group size effects on mosquitofish behavior across multiple contexts and found evidence of a group level behavioural syndrome, in which a consistent proportion of individuals performed a behaviour across assays (i.e. resumed general activity following a predator cue, ate known food and ate novel food).

Diverse communication strategies in bees as a window into adaptations to an unpredictable world.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlight recent advances in understanding of bee communication strategies and discuss how variation in social biology, such as colony size or nesting habits, and ecological conditions are important drivers of variation in communication strategies.

Temporal Variation in Danger Drives Antipredator Behavior: The Predation Risk Allocation Hypothesis
TL;DR: This analysis suggests that an animal should exhibit its greatest antipredator behavior in high‐risk situations that are brief and infrequent, and suggests that a common experimental protocol is likely to overestimate the intensity of antipredators behavior expected under field situations or chronic exposure to high risk.

Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change.
TL;DR: Using a sensory ecology approach, a mechanistic framework for predicting variation in behavioural responses to environmental change is presented, drawing from models of decision‐making processes and an understanding of the selective background against which they evolved.
