Which of the following is NOT a context in which animals show evidence of learning?

Select one:

a. kin recognition

b. predator recognition

c. habitat selection

d. mate choice

e. Learning can be evident in all of the contexts listed here.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Kin recognition and predator recognition are context dependent and learned behaviours because they involve the mechanisms of environment cues, prior experience and phenotype matching (i.e looking for similarities in case of kin detection).

Habitat selection also changes with availability. An individual has preferences over habitats based upon the functional richness.

Mate choice is also a context dependent mechanism because animal mating preferences are condition dependent. Animals come to know what to eat, what to prey and what to mate by social learning.

Thus learning is evident in all of the contexts listed here.
