Spatial Learning as an Adaptation in Hummingbirds
Copyright policy )Spatial Learning as an Adaptation in Hummingbirds
An ecological approach based on food distribution suggests that hummingbirds should more easily learn to visit a flower in a new location than to learn to return to a flower in a position just visited, for a food reward. Experimental results support this hypothesis as well as the general view that differences in learning within and among species represent adaptations.
