The editors of ethology and Redouan Bshary will host the first ethology Investigates online conference on cooperation (http://www.ethologyinvestigates.com/).
While Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection emphasizes the importance of competition between individuals, survival often depends on complex systems of organisms working together to increase fitness, fight disease, watch for enemies or hunt for food – all forms of cooperation. The ethology Investigates online conference on cooperation seeks to elucidate the occurrence of cooperative behavior within and between species, applying the holistic framework of Tinbergen’s four “why” questions.
Join us from November 29th to December 2nd, 2011 for talks and presented papers on cutting-edge research into cooperation. All presenters will be available online to take your questions and respond to your comments.
