Learn how to help save birds in your community at https://birds.naturecanada.ca Animals are prone to falling for “evolutionary traps”: modern human-made stuff that accidentally tricks them into maladaptive behavior. LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: - Evolutionary trap: a situation where an organism, due to a change in its environment (often human-induced), makes a decision that was once adaptive but now leads to a maladaptive outcome, even though better alternatives exist. - Stimulus: a detectable change in an organism's internal or external environment that triggers a response. - Supernormal stimulus: a stimulus that elicits a response more strongly than the natural stimulus for which it evolved.
