details about the talk and the Zoom link below.----------Innovation: A
multidimensional analysisRachael BrownAbstract. Transformations
in the “behavioural innovativeness” of species — broadly, the capacity to
generate new or novel behaviours (Reader & Laland 2003) — are often
associated with significant evolutionary shifts in cognition (Arbilly and
Laland 2017). Whilst this assumption is intuitively and theoretically
appealing, more empirical support is needed to test it adequately. Such
empirical work is currently hampered by the lack of a good measure of the
magnitude behavioural innovation in the literature. In this paper
I offer a solution to this measurement problem via a multi-dimensional
framework for characterising and comparing putative cases of behavioural
innovativeness. Using a paradigmatic case from the New Caledonian Crow as a
guide, I identify several dimensions upon which a cases of
behavioural innovation vary. I then demonstrate how we can use
this multidimensional analysis in forwarding our understanding of the
relationship between evolutionary transformations in innovation and
evolutionary transformations in cognition.----------Michael Nielsen is
