Identifying social learning in animal populations: a new 'option-bias' method. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Studies of natural animal populations reveal widespread evidence for the diffusion of novel behaviour patterns, and for intra- and inter-population variation in behaviour.

Fitness consequences of avian personalities in a fluctuating environment [PDF]

, 2004
1. Intraspecific variation in reproductive decisions is generally considered as a reaction to environmental circumstances. We show that variation in reproductive parameters also covaries with intraspecific variation in personality. 2.

Diversity of spectrum and management of animal-inflicted injuries in the pediatric age group: A prospective study from a pediatric surgery department catering primarily to the rural population

Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, 2020
Animal-inflicted injuries continue to be a major health problem worldwide. In developing countries, the outcome of such injuries, especially in children may be poor.The study aimed to evaluate the diversity of spectrum and management of animal-inflicted injuries in the pediatric age group.This was a prospective study on animal-inflicted injuries in ...

How the spatial position of individuals affects their influence on swarms: a numerical comparison of two popular swarm dynamics models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Schools of fish and flocks of birds are examples of self-organized animal groups that arise through social interactions among individuals. We numerically study two individual-based models, which recent empirical studies have suggested to explain self ...

Testing the efficacy of different molecular tools for parasite conservation genetics: a case study using horsehair worms (Phylum: Nematomorpha)

Parasitology, 2023
In recent years, parasite conservation has become a globally significant issue. Because of this, there is a need for standardized methods for inferring population status and possible cryptic diversity.

Practising pastoralism in an agricultural environment: An isotopic analysis of the impact of the Hunnic incursions on Pannonian populations.

PLoS ONE, 2017
We conducted a multi-isotope study of five fifth-century AD cemeteries in modern-day Hungary to determine relationships between nomadic-pastoralist incomers-the historically documented Huns and other nomadic groups-and the sedentary agricultural ...

Additional information about the treatment group and the controls from The importance of population heterogeneities in detecting social learning as the foundation of animal cultural transmission

, 2022
High levels of within-population behavioural variation can have drastic demographic consequences, thus changing the evolutionary fate of populations. A major source of within-population heterogeneity is personality. Nonetheless, it is still relatively rarely accounted for in social learning studies that constitute the most basic process of cultural ...
