Behavioral ecologist Cedric Suer and primatologist Michael Huffman argue that these interactions between species involve more than simple mimicry; they represent a form of convergent evolution. Examples include cooperative scavenging between crows and wolves and signaling between different monkey species.
The implications extend beyond behavioral adaptation, potentially influencing genetic selection and driving evolution. Urban environments, where animals and humans coexist, provide fertile ground for studying these dynamics, the scientists say, and show how wildlife adapts to urban challenges under the influence of human activity.
