Mushroom body expansion and the cognitive ecology of Heliconius butterflies
… in olfactory contexts, however the relative cognitive capabilities of Heliconius remain unknown. The central objective of my PhD is to investigate the behavioural consequences of, and selective pressures that drove, expansion of Heliconius MBs. I have explored these questions by collecting …

Situated mappings : augmented-reality clay and adaptive interfacing
… from the domains of perceptual science and cognitive ecology, such as information-search, affordances and adaptive learning, I suggest that the sense of immersion and ease of learning in an interaction stems from how much it supports the subject's self-guided, iterative, discovery process. …

Spatial Learning and Memory, Cognitive Flexibility, and Rule-Learning in Food-Caching Mountain Chickadees (Poecile gambeli) Across an Elevational Gradient
How and why individuals differ in their cognitive abilities within and across species remain important and unresolved questions in behavioral and evolutionary ecology. Cognitive traits are involved in many critical behaviors, enabling individuals to use past experiences to inform future decisions …

Spatial Mapping in Wild White -Faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus Capucinus)
… This research examines questions of primate cognitive ecology in wild white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) in northeastern Costa Rica. First, I use a natural field study or behavioral-ecological study in which the natural decision-making, and movement patterns of wild capuchins were …

Cognitive variation in threespined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
… in response to environmental cues. These cognitive processes play a clear role in many fitness-related behaviors such as foraging, predator avoidance, and courtship. Thus, how these processes have evolved are of key scientific interest. Historically, research on the evolution of cognitive …
