SOCIAL RECOGNITION IN INVERTEBRATES GEBUNDEN

This book uses a wide range of case studies from different invertebrate taxa to describe the
numerous forms of social recognition occurring in this large group of animals and traces the
evolution of this cognitive ability. The authors provide several examples of direct (i.e. the
target of recognition is a conspecific) and indirect recognition (i.e. recognition of a
reliable proxy rather than an individual  such as a den or a substrate) and discuss cases of
familiar recognition (i.e. an animal remembers a conspecific but cannot tell what class it
comes from or recognize its identity). Class-level recognition (i.e. an animal assigns a
conspecific to an appropriate class of animals)  and true individual recognition (i.e. an
animal both identifies and recognizes a conspecific on an individual basis) are also addressed.
