abstract = "Behavioural ecology often makes the assumption that
animals can respond flexibly by adopting the optimal
behaviour for each circumstance. However, as
ethologists have long known, behaviour is determined by
mechanisms that are not optimal in every circumstance.
As we discuss here, we believe that it is necessary to
integrate these separate traditions by considering the
evolution of mechanisms, an approach referred to as
[`]Evo-mecho'. This integration is timely because there
is a growing awareness of the importance of
environmental complexity in shaping behaviour; there
are established and effective computational procedures
for simulating evolution and there is rapidly
increasing knowledge of the neuronal basis of
decision-making. Although behavioural ecologists have
built complex models of optimal behaviour in simple
environments, we argue that they need to focus on
simple mechanisms that perform well in complex
environments.",
