In order to make predictions of or interpret observed migration behavior, it is advantageous to integrate locally based behavioral decisions among individuals over larger spatiotemporal and population scales (Guttal and Couzin 2010; Shamoun-Baranes et al. 2010).
In the absence of more empirical evidence, further development of a modeling approach to active-travel decisions may prove advantageous; however psychological theories of behavior and recent empirical work in behavioral economics should be incorporated alongside standard rational behavior assumptions.
Under conditions in which unilateral control is superior to the bilateral one, unilateral dominance of the final behavioral output should be advantageous and indeed it occurred.
Clearly, different behavioral strategies can be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the environment; for example, in unpropitious situations organisms might benefit from down-regulating effort and risk taking, the opposite being true when the environment is more favorable.
Genetic selection for behavioral traits could be an advantageous strategy aimed at improving the ability of animals to adapt to modern rearing conditions by reducing, for instance, the susceptibility of an animal to changes in its physical environment, limiting excessive fear of humans and improving sociability [ 18].
Nevertheless, natural selection can be expected to lead to adaptations influencing behaviors that are most advantageous to prey capture [ 1], and further examination of the molecular mechanisms allowing for these large scale behavioral adaptations is critical for understanding coevolution between predator-prey interactions.
Although this experiment is advantageous due to its methodological simplicity and several behavioral responses of an animal when exposed to an unfamiliar environment, it may readily observe and quantify.
They are established, when it is advantageous for people to show a coordinated behavior, but it does not matter which of the behavioral options people agree upon.
Consomic strains have recently attracted attention as an advantageous method to screen for genes related to developmental, physiological, and behavioral phenotypes.
