This project investigates the mutualistic relationship between the greater honeyguide bird and human honey-hunters in Africa. It explores how learned behaviors influence these interactions and their ecological and evolutionary impacts.
Species interactions such as mutualism, parasitism and predation underpin much of life’s diversity.
We aim to understand the mechanistic role of learnt traits in the origin and maintenance of mutualistic interactions between species, and to test their evolutionary and ecological consequences.
To do so, we shall study a remarkable mutualism: the foraging partnership between an African bird species, the greater honeyguide Indicator indicator, and the human honey-hunters whom it guides to bees’ nes…
