SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ANIMAL SCIENCES PREDATOR RE...

This SpringerBrief answers the question on how birds recognize their predators using
multidisciplinary approaches and outlines paths of the future research of predator recognition.
A special focus is put on the role of key features to discriminate against predators and
non-predators. The first part of the book provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms of
predator recognition based on classical ethological studies in untrained birds. The second part
introduces a new view on the topic treating theories of cognitive ethology. This approach
involves examination of conditioned domestic pigeons and highlights the actual abilities of
birds to recognize and categorize.
