Individual differences in cognitive abilities have been described in a range of species, but do they impact survival or reproduction? Several recent studies report links between putative cognitive and reproductive traits in avian systems. Whether or when selection should occur in the wild is becoming an exciting avenue of research.
个体在认知能力上的差异在多个物种中都有描述,但这些差异会影响生存或繁殖吗?最近的几项研究报告了鸟类系统中假定的认知和繁殖特征之间的联系。在野外是否以及何时应该发生选择正成为一个令人兴奋的研究领域。
