A reaction norm framework for the evolution of learning: how cumulative experience shapes phenotypic plasticity.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Oct 2022

Wright Jonathan, Haaland Thomas R, Dingemanse Niels J, Westneat David F

Abstract excerpt

Learning is a familiar process to most people, but it currently lacks a fully developed theoretical position within evolutionary biology. Learning (memory and forgetting) involves adjustments in behaviour in response to cumulative sequences of prior experiences or exposures to environmental cues. We therefore suggest that all forms of learning (and some similar biological phenomena in development, aging, acquired...
