#ISSABC2023 is underway! To kick off the first day, Sonja Wild is introducing us to the wonderful world of social learning!
Big study out today, lead by Mina Ogino, shows that environmental factors have a strong impact on social network structure. However, populations remain consistently different even after controlling for these, suggesting group-level 'social cultures'. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10.10…
3 chicks! This is a first for us. We’ve been researching Sulphur-crested Cockatoos as part of the Big City Birds Project for 12-years, we’ve only seen 1 or 2 chick clutches until now! @BigCityBirds Help us learn more by reporting behaviours & sightings spotteron.com/bigcitybirds/i…
Urban adaptation 😉 Please report Cockatoo bin-opening, including if you haven’t seen this behaviour. The survey takes 1-3 minutes. Your reports help us map this behaviour - thanks! clevercockies.com/annual-bin-ope… Lucy Aplin Dr Barbara Klump ABC Sydney
Our new OA article is out in Behavioral Ecology ! Tracking juvenile great tits across their first year of life, we document the dynamic changes in social strategies during transition to independence in a species with limited parental care. (1/2) doi.org/10.1093/beheco…
🥳🤯 so happy to see this chapter of my phd with Lucy Aplin finally out in American Naturalist (link: doi.org/10.1086/730110) we use an agent based model combining both transmission and RL to formally explore many different flavors of population turnover on adaptive cultural evolution.
Have you seen cockatoos opening bins too? Help our researchers to learn more about these behaviours: clevercockies.com Biology at ANU Lucy Aplin
Unpredictable benefits of social information can lead to the #evolution of individual differences in social learning dlvr.it/T8Kxdf Nature Communications
New paper with Lucas Molleman and TườngVân Vũ on the evolution of individual differences in social learning! Check the summary by Lucas here:
Important, new work on social learning strategies by David Schultner Lucas Molleman & Björn Lindström!
We're excited to be hosting this year's European Conference on Behavioural Biology (ECBB) at the UZH Irchel campus. The theme is long term studies, and we've show-cased many of the studies currently underway at Universität Zürich UZH Science. One day to go!
