Animal culture: conservation in a changing world [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Social learning and animal culture can influence conservation outcomes in significant ways. Culture is a dynamic phenomenon; socially learned behaviours can be transmitted within and/or between generations and among populations, which can facilitate resilience, or in other circumstances generate vulnerability.

A deepening understanding of animal culture suggests lessons for conservation. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2021
A key goal of conservation is to protect biodiversity by supporting the long-term persistence of viable, natural populations of wild species. Conservation practice has long been guided by genetic, ecological and demographic indicators of risk.

Animal culture research should include avian nest construction. [PDF]

Biol Lett, 2021
Material culture—that is, group-shared and socially learned object-related behaviour(s)—is a widespread and diverse phenomenon in humans. For decades, researchers have sought to confirm the existence of material culture in non-human animals; however, the

Animal Culture and Animal Welfare

Philosophy of Science, 2022
AbstractFollowing recent arguments that cultural practices in wild animal populations have important conservation implications, we argue that recognizing captive animals as cultural has important welfare implications. Having a culture is of deep importance for cultural animals, wherever they live.

Animal Culture: Chimpanzee Conformity? [PDF]

Current Biology, 2012
Culture-like phenomena in wild animals have received much attention, but how good is the evidence and how similar are they to human culture? New data on chimpanzees suggest their culture may even have an element of conformity.

Animal culture: But of which kind?

Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2021
Is animal culture a real entity or is it rather just in the eye of the beholder? The concept of culture began to be increasingly used in the context of animal behaviour research around the 1960s.

Alternative to FBS in animal cell culture - An overview and future perspective

Heliyon, 2021
Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a widely used growth supplement in the in vitro culturing of animal and human cells, tissues and organs, notably due to the occurrence of abundant micro- and macronutrients, along with growth factors.

Mapping nonhuman cultures with the Animal Culture Database [PDF]

Scientific Data
Abstract Socially transmitted behaviors are widespread across the animal kingdom, yet there is a lack of comprehensive datasets documenting their distribution and ecological significance. Knowledge of animal behavioral traditions could be essential for understanding many species’ responses to anthropogenic disturbances and further ...

A Simple Method to Reduce both Lactic Acid and Ammonium Production in Industrial Animal Cell Culture

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Fed-batch animal cell culture is the most common method for commercial production of recombinant proteins. However, higher cell densities in these platforms are still limited due to factors such as excessive ammonium production, lactic acid production ...

Animal cultures matter for conservation, but also to animals [PDF]

Learning & Behavior
Abstract A growing acceptance that many nonhuman animal communities have distinct cultures – group-variable patterns of behavior and information sustained over time by social learning – is beginning to reshape thinking about animal conservation.
