Over the last century, the natural habitats of many animal species have drastically and rapidly changed due to anthropogenic actions. The differential resilience of species to such anthropogenic habitat alteration is hypothetically a function of phenotypic plasticity, that could allow for rapid adjustments to the changing environment. However, a fundamental research question is to underst…
We are grounded on an Ethological approach committed to the Developmental Systems Theory and aligned with the ideas of the Extended Synthesis of Biology, aiming to investigate how social changes in the environment can guide the course of one's development. We will use concepts such as niche construction and developmental niche, assuming…
This study aims at studying cognitive and behavioral mechanisms displayed by capuchin monkeys in tool choice for cracking nuts. We forecast that the hammer's shape has a role in the tool choice. As perception / action theory predicts, there should be a broad range of variability between subjects and this should be directly related to the subject's experience of cracking nuts. Moreover, as…
