2021年4月21日 · An understanding of animal social learning and culture has significant potential to help maximize the impact and efficiency of conservation efforts (electronic supplementary material, table S1). Specifically, understanding linkages between culture and vital rates, cultural evolution, and adaption to rapid global change, will be critical for ...

Animal culture can be defined as the ability of non-human animals to learn and transmit behaviors through processes of social or cultural learning. [1][2][3][4] Culture is increasingly seen as a process, involving the social transmittance of behavior among peers and between generations.

2021年4月2日 · Today, there is no doubt that culture is widespread among animal species, both vertebrates and invertebrates, marine and terrestrial. Whiten reviews evidence for animal culture and elaborates on the wide array of forms that such culture takes.

2024年2月20日 · Historical Foundations and Evolving Approaches to the Study of Animal Cultures. Discovering Widespread Culture and Cultural Evolution in Animals; Approaches to Identifying and Tracing Animal Cultures; Theoretical Foundations and Perspectives on the Science of Cultural Evolution; Culture as Uniquely Human and Alternative Views on …

2024年7月24日 · Documented animal culture has mostly focused on technology in large-brained birds, primates, and marine mammals, but animal cultures can include ecological skills such as food choice, techniques of prey capture, travel paths, migration routes, predator recognition, habitat choice, nest building, food-processing techniques, social skills like ...

How are we to make sense of culture in animals? Culture is said to occur in a wide range of vertebrates, from our close kin, chimpanzees and orangutans, to more distant relatives like rats and whales. Could these studies be misleading in that they are not actually studying culture but simply misapplying the term 'culture'?

Animal culture has the potential to affect this process in a number of ways, says Whiten. For one, cultural innovations, such as tools or predator-avoidance tactics, could increase an animal’s survival and reproduction, buffering them against some selection pressures.

2008年5月6日 · In short, cultural processes in a broad range of animal species exhibit a number of properties that change the evolutionary dynamic, including detaching the behaviour of animals from their ecological environments, generating geographical patterns in phenotypic characters, allowing arbitrary and even maladaptive characters to spread, influencing ...
