About
Jiang‐Shiou Hwang is a behavioral ecologist whose work bridges animal cognition, robotics, and evolutionary biology. His research focuses on how animals perceive and interact with artificial stimuli, particularly in the context of mate choice and territorial behavior. Hwang’s most notable contribution is his pioneering study on male fighting fish (*Betta splendens*), which demonstrated that these highly territorial fish can be deceived by female-mimicking robotic cues. In this 2019 paper, he showed that males display courtship behaviors toward a robotic model that replicates key visual and movement patterns of a female, revealing the importance of specific sensory cues in mate discrimination. This work, which has garnered 23 citations, not only advances our understanding of fish cognition but also provides a novel, non-invasive method for studying animal behavior using robotics. Hwang’s innovative approach has implications for conservation, animal welfare, and the design of bio-inspired technologies. His research exemplifies how interdisciplinary methods can unlock new insights into the natural world, making him a compelling figure for students interested in the intersection of behavior, technology, and evolution.
