Despite their extensive range, researchers know little about the behavior of these solitary creatures, says Mark Elbroch, a wildlife ecologist at the University of California, Davis.
In those studies, although behavior of the creatures is analyzed by images, biologically inspired mathematical models are not developed.
These tools include observation of the natural world and/or behavior of living creatures, and experimentation, a method of studying events under controlled conditions that can reduce variability and ambiguity of interpretation.
How do we model the behavior of such creatures?
(More on the explanation of the behavior of nonlinguistic creatures in section 4.3).
This paper presents a novel optimization algorithm based on competitive behavior of various creatures such as birds, cats, bees and ants to survive in nature.
If humans are not governed by precisely the same laws of nature that govern other creatures, human nature and behavior cannot be explained on precisely the same grounds as we might explain the nature and behavior of other creatures.
Additionally, the notion of nonconceptual content has been utilized in the explanation of the behavior of nonlinguistic creatures or those that do not employ concepts.
This argument was challenged by José Luis Bermúdez (Bermúdez 1994) in favor of a notion of autonomous nonconceptual content that can be used to explain the behavior of nonlinguistic creatures.
