Abstract:

Memory is one of the most crucial cognitive functions in many organisms. It is highly implicated in everyday functioning and is an essential component for survival. Past research has revealed that spatial memory facilitates bird caching behaviours such as remembering the exact locations of their hidden food. However, there are many factors that alter the demands on memory and consequently impact the function of caching. Specifically, neurogenesis, the process of forming new neurons, has been shown to affect this behaviour. Likewise, environmental variables and selective pressures (i.e., severi

Abstract:

The scatter hoarding of food, or caching, is a widespread and well-studied behaviour. Recent experiments with caching corvids have provided evidence for episodic-like memory, future planning and possibly mental attribution, all cognitive abilities that were thought to be unique to humans. In addition to the complexity of making flexible, informed decisions about caching and recovering, this behaviour is underpinned by a motivationally controlled compulsion to cache. In this review, we shall first discuss the compulsive side of caching both during ontogeny and in the caching behaviour of adult

Abstract:

Scatter hoarders are animals (e.g. squirrels) who cache food (nuts) over a number of sites for later collection. A certain minimum amount of food must be recovered, possibly after pilfering by another animal, in order to survive the winter. An optimal caching strategy is one that maximizes the survival probability, given worst case behaviour of the pilferer. We modify certain ‘accumulation games’ studied by Kikuta & Ruckle (2000 J. Optim. Theory Appl. ) and Kikuta & Ruckle (2001 Naval Res. Logist. ), which modelled the problem of optimal diversification of resources against catastrophi

Abstract:

AbstractWe developed a model that concerns, in part, how long a scatterhoarder should persist in caching food from an ephemeral, locally abundant source ('bonanza') before moving on in search of other sources. The model assumes that an animal scattering food caches for later use behaves in a manner that maximizes the rate at which it stores recoverable (surviving) food in its habitat. It is shown theoretically that under some conditions it is better not to cache all available food but instead to move on in search of other food sources. This 'source-departure decision' for scatterhoarders is an

In both the lab and the field, scrub-jays are known to exhibit a range of behaviours to protect their caches from potential pilferage by a conspecific, for example by hiding food in locations out of the observer’s view or by re-caching previously made caches once the observer has left.

We report summer caching of a partial carcass of a White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawn by an Eastern Wolf (Canis sp. cf. lycaon) in a Sphagnum bog in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. The microhabitat conditions in bogs (i.e., low temperature, acidity, and organochemical compounds) likely inhibit food spoilage, making bogs potentially important sites for food caching. Wolves in Algonquin Park experience low summer food availability and high pup mortality from starvation. Caches likely serve as necessary reserve food stores for adults and pups.

Abstract:

Some animals hide food to consume later; however, these caches are susceptible to theft by conspecifics and heterospecifics. Caching animals can use protective strategies to minimize sensory cues available to potential pilferers, such as caching in shaded areas and in quiet substrate. Background matching (where object patterning matches the visual background) is commonly seen in prey animals to reduce conspicuousness, and caching animals may also use this tactic to hide caches, for example, by hiding coloured food in a similar coloured substrate.

AbstractThis study focussed on the social suppression of caching in 3 groups of western scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica). Each group (3 males and 4 females) were housed in a separate aviary. Only the dominant male and/or his partner cached in each aviary. When the alpha pair was removed from the aviary, however, caching by the beta pair increased significantly. As all subordinate birds cache when housed individually, cache cessation was attributed to social suppression. In each aviary, storers from both the alpha and beta pairs tolerated their partners recovering their caches, but treated a

Apart from an exceptional experimental study already published in 1720, it started with observational field studies of scatter hoarding birds in the 1940s. Driven by a general interest in birds, several ornithologists made large-scale studies of hoarding behaviour in species such as nutcrackers and boreal titmice.

In contrast to what might be expected from the number of openings and tunnels created during this period, a significant proportion of the sediment movement was sub-surface and relatively little sediment expulsion occurred.

Abstract:

The coleoid cephalopods (i.e., octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) are notable for their complex cognition and dynamic camouflage, but the two processes have rarely been considered in conjunction. Here, we argue that camouflage and cognition likely coevolved and should therefore be studied as linked processes, which we term the “camocognitive hypothesis”. We suggest that camouflage serves as a “self-report” measure of a cephalopod’s subjective inner world, and is therefore a critical innate tool for studying complex cognition in cephalopods. We draw a comparison between camouflage in cephalopods a

Abstract:

Some plants that are dispersed by scatter-hoarding animals appear to have evolved the ability to manipulate the behaviour of those animals to increase the likelihood that seeds and nuts will be stored and that a portion of those items will not be recovered. Plants have achieved this in at least four ways. First, by producing large, nutritious seeds and nuts that are attractive to animals and that stimulate hoarding behaviour. Second, by imposing handling costs that cause animals to hoard rather than to eat items immediately. These handling costs can take one of two forms: physical barriers (e.

Abstract:

We evaluate analysis results and approximations for the performance of basic caching methods, assuming independent requests. Compared with simulative evaluations, the analysis results are accurate, but their computation is tractable only within a limited scope. We compare the scalability of analytical FIFO and LRU solutions including extensions for multisegment caches and for caches with data of varying sizes. On the other hand, approximations have been proposed for the FIFO and LRU hit ratio. They are simple and scalable, but their accuracy is confirmed mainly through asymptotic behaviour onl

Abstract:

AbstractAcorn woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus) are communal breeders that live in permanently territorial family groups of 2-15 individuals. All group members participate in several forms of cooperative behaviour, which we define as the investment of resources in a common interest shared by other group members (CHASE, 1980). Acorn woodpecker group interests include the caching of acorns in a specialized storage tree (the granary), maintenance of the granary, and defence of the granary against intra- and interspecific intruders. Because of a strong positive relationship between the availab

Abstract:

Handling large volumes of data on computers incur operational costs when physical hardware is considered, especially RAM, creating a need for intelligent solutions that both maintain an acceptable level of performance and enable cheaper scaling. The authors extend their previous work converting their existing point cloud processing and analysis tool to use external memory via the STXXL C++ library, replacing the entire dataset storage layer with STXXL's intelligent caching system. A rationale for adopting this technique, and methodology for testing previous and modified versions of the softwar
