Learning and memory, defined as the acquisition and retention of neuronal representations of new information, are ubiquitous among insects. Recent research indicates that a variety of insects rely extensively on learning for all major life activities including feeding, predator avoidance, aggression, social interactions, and sexual behavior. There is good evidence that individuals within an insect species exhibit genetically based variation in learning abilities and indirect evidence linking insect learning to fitness. Although insects rely on innate behavior to successfully manage many types of variation and unpredictability, learning may be superior to innate behavior when dealing with features unique to time, place, or individuals. Among insects, social learning , which can promote the rapid spread of novel behaviors, is currently known only from a few well-studied examples in social Hymenoptera. The prevalence and importance of social learning in insects are still unknown. Similarly, we know little about ecological factors that may have promoted enhanced learning abilities in insects, and whether learning has significantly contributed to speciation in insects.

昆虫学习的进化生物学。

学习和记忆被定义为获取和保留新信息的神经元表示形式,在昆虫中无处不在。最近的研究表明,各种昆虫在所有主要的生活活动中都广泛依赖学习,包括进食,避免捕食,侵略,社交互动和性行为。有充分的证据表明,昆虫物种中的个体表现出基于遗传的学习能力变异,并且有间接证据将昆虫的学习与适应能力联系起来。尽管昆虫依靠先天行为来成功管理许多类型的变异和不可预测性,但是在处理时间,地点或个人特有的特征时,学习可能优于先天行为。在昆虫中,可以促进新行为迅速传播的社会学习,目前仅从社交膜翅目中的一些经过充分研究的实例中知道。在昆虫中进行社会学习的普遍性和重要性仍然未知。同样,我们对可能促进昆虫学习能力增强的生态因素,以及学习是否对昆虫物种形成有重大贡献的了解甚少。
