Abstract

The use of visual models in behavioural ecology can be improved when it is based on observations of animal behavioural performance. The reliability of these mathematical models depends on how parameters and assumptions are chosen and vetted. From a literature review, we outline and explain possibilities and limitations from these procedures, and we point out promising directions in future research.
