Question
  1. Which of the following habitat cues is LEAST likely to factor into how the “landscape of fear and disgust” influences habitat choice?
    1. Presence of carcasses
    2. High density of conspecific excreta (poop!)
    3. Presence of vegetative cover
    4. Frequency of territorial singing from conspecific males
  2. Bayesian updating can be a useful tool for thinking about the development of behavior. Imagine the following scenario with respect to an animal’s knowledge of the average density of food in patches in their environment. Which of the following is the most accurate interpretation of this Bayesian view of this animal? (shown in image)
    1. Their environment is much richer in food resources than expected
    2. Their confidence in their assessment of the state of the environment is greater after they go out and sample the world
    3. Their environment is less rich than expected – perhaps there is a drought that has caused a crash in food availability relative to historical conditions
    4. All of the above
