To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
Evolutionary trap: a situation where an organism, due to a change in its environment (often human-induced), makes a decision that was once adaptive but now leads to a maladaptive outcome, even though better alternatives exist.
Stimulus: a detectable change in an organism's internal or external environment that triggers a response.
Supernormal stimulus: a stimulus that elicits a response more strongly than the natural stimulus for which it evolved.
