🥳🧪new paper out w/ @DamienFarine about how movement shapes networks and interacts with transmission rules to affect spreading dynamics. Key take-away is that spreading on dynamic networks =/= spreading on static representations of those dynamic networks doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2…

This study is one of many in a new special issue abt the interface between spatial and social behavior in Royal Society Publishing Phil Trans B, chock full of insights and ideas for those who study social learning, social networks and movement royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2024/…

Made it to Durham for #CES2024, looking forward to a week of hxc CE and SL chat! And after the conf dinner, Mason Youngblood and I will be DJing an event celebrating the diversity (and richness?) of club music for Cultural Evolution Society peeps

Our first golden eagle study Safi_Lab @safilabmpi is published in eLife - the journal! We propose using the ecological niche concept to discuss energy landscape variations, and show that for golden eagles, the realized energy landscape expands with age elifesciences.org/articles/98818

What triggers social learning in wild animals? An experiment on birds has pinpointed a single factor—immigration—that can cause animals to quickly learn useful behaviors from locals.

🐦📢 very pleased to share our freshly published cultural diffusion experiment w/ GustavoAlarcón-Nieto and Lucy Aplin in PLOS Biology that explored decision-making of immigrant great tits after moving into a new social group: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social University of Zurich

This supports longstanding theory that payoff-biased social learning is advantageous when faced with spatial variability. Thanks for reading this far :) /thread

absolutely an honor to have this wonderful primer by Dr Rachel Harrison about our recent paper!
