3 viii The factors driving cognition in Darwin's finches APPENDIX 6 Supplementary movies of subjects performing in Experiments 2-3 of Chapter 1 see enclosed CD-rom LIST OF PUBLICATIONS page 132 AUTHOR'S CONTRIBUTIONS/ ABGRENZUNG DER EIGENLEISTUNG page 133 ADDRESSES OF CO-AUTHORS page 134 ERKLARUNG DER SELBSTANDIGEN ANFERTIGUNG page 135 A CD-ROM containing supplementary Movies (Appendix 6) is enclosed along sis. with the the Please note that Chapter 4 has already been published. Therefore, in my thesis this chapter is generally cross-referenced as "Tebbich et al. 2010" whereas all other chapters reference by chapter number. For example, to reference my published chapter, I would write "see Tebbich et al. 2010" whereas for Chapter 1 (unpublished), I would write "see Chapter 1". Chapter 4 is included in its published form with some minor formatting modifications so that it fits the style of this thesis. Furthermore, Figures 1.1. and 1.2 were originally published in Tebbich et al. 2010, but to avoid repetition and to keep the flow of the thesis these figures appear in Chapter 1 and are not included again in Chapter 4.
