Siblings and nonparental adults provide alternative pathways to cultural inheritance in juvenile great tits Open
In many animal species, the juvenile period is under strong selection, leading to a concentration of social learning during this stage as an efficient strategy for young individuals to acquire skills essential for survival. However, as soc…

Vole hunting: novel predatory and carnivorous behavior by California ground squirrels Open
Dietary flexibility allows animals to respond adaptively to food pulses in the environment. Here we document the novel emergence of widespread hunting of California voles and carnivorous feeding behavior by California ground squirrels. Ove…

The ontogeny of social networks in wild great tits (<i>Parus major</i>) Open
Sociality impacts many biological processes and can be tightly linked to an individual’s fitness. To maximize the advantages of group living, many social animals prefer to associate with individuals that provide the most benefits, such as …

Tits (Paridae sp.) use social information when locating and choosing nest lining material Open
As an important determinant of reproductive success, avian nest building is under strong selection and requires behavioral plasticity to optimize conditions in which offspring develop. Learning is a one form of plasticity that allows adapt…

Association patterns and community structure among female bottlenose dolphins: environmental, genetic and cultural factors Open
Social structuring from assortative associations may affect individual fitness, as well as population-level processes. Gaining a broader understanding of social structure can improve our knowledge of social evolution and inform wildlife co…

Manipulating actions: A selective two‐option device for cognitive experiments in wild animals Open
Advances in biologging technologies have significantly improved our ability to track individual animals' behaviour in their natural environment. Beyond observations, automation of data collection has revolutionized cognitive experiments in…

Complex foraging behaviours in wild birds emerge from social learning and recombination of components Open
Recent well-documented cases of cultural evolution towards increasing efficiency in non-human animals have led some authors to propose that other animals are also capable of cumulative cultural evolution, where traits become more refined a…

Affiliation history and age similarity predict alliance formation in adult male bottlenose dolphins Open
Male alliances are an intriguing phenomenon in the context of reproduction since, in most taxa, males compete over an indivisible resource, female fertilization. Adult male bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in Shark Bay, Western Austr…

Multi-network-based diffusion analysis reveals vertical cultural transmission of sponge tool use within dolphin matrilines Open
Behavioural differences among social groups can arise from differing ecological conditions, genetic predispositions and/or social learning. In the past, social learning has typically been inferred as responsible for the spread of behaviour…

Tool use and social homophily among male bottlenose dolphins Open
Homophilous behaviour plays a central role in the formation of human friendships. Individuals form social ties with others that show similar phenotypic traits, independently of relatedness. Evidence of such homophily can be found in bottle…
