    In attempting to determine whether wild hummingbirds are able to learn the refill schedules of flowers based on facilitated colour cues, Samuels, Hurly & Healy (2014) found that hummingbirds in the cued conditions were better and faster at discriminating between the refill intervals. They performed this study since there are not many studies which look at interval timing outside a controlled laboratory environment, as well as not many which remove other cues that may facilitate learning in the animals. The authors also wanted to look at which cues animals might use in their natural environments. Specifically, they tested whether colour facilitation would allow discrimination to occur more quickly in the first phase and in the second phase, looked at the implications of removing available relative and absolute spatial cues.…

    Adaptability is evident when a population improves its ability to function, survive, and reproduce with the population’s habitat. An example of adaptation is mice that need a specific coat color to survive against predators. On a lighter colored surface, mice with a lighter coat color are more likely to survive and reproduce. In contrast, mice with a darker coat color are less likely to survive and reproduce. In this example, the lighter colored mice are more likely to survive and reproduce, and the darker colored mice are more likely to survive and become prey.…
