Constructing, conducting and interpreting animal social network analysis (2015, methodology): “…Oh & Badyaev 2010; Aplin et al. 2013); (iii) studies of social processes and the implications of network structure for dynamics of information (e.g. Boogert et al. 2008; Aplin et al. 2012, 2015; Allen et al. 2013) and disease or parasite spread across networks (e.g. Godfrey et al. 2009;…”
A comparison of innovative problem-solving abilities between wild and captive spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta (2013, background): “…captive individuals with a novel problem-solving task (Köhler 1925; Visalberghi et al. 1995; Povinelli 2000; Heinrich & Bugnyar 2005; Santos et al. 2006; Bond et al. 2007; Tebbich et al. 2007; Boogert et al. 2008; de Mendonca-Furtado & Ottoni 2008; Liker & Bókony 2009; Overington et al. 2011).”
Innovative problem solving in birds: a key role of motor diversity (2014, background): “The study of neophobia in the context of innovation in birds has yielded mixed results, with some studies suggesting that low neophobia is related to increased innovation (Boogert et al., 2008; Overington, Cauchard, et al., 2011; Seferta, Guay, Marzinotto, & Lefebvre, 2001; Sol, Griffin, et al., 201”
Song complexity correlates with learning ability in zebra finch males. (2008, background): “…species (e.g. in pigeons, Columba livia, and doves, Zenaida aurita, learning performance versus neophilia: R2 ¼ 0.78, Seferta et al. 2001; in starlings, learning versus dominance: mean R2 SD ¼ 0.77 0.11, Boogert et al. 2006, and learning versus innovativeness: R2 ¼ 0.55, Boogert et al. 2008).”
Who are the innovators? A field experiment with 2 passerine species (2011, background): “Finally, 5) we examine the possibility that the solution to this novel foraging problem was learned socially by examining whether innovations occurring later in the course of our field experiments were characterized by increased efficiency (Boogert et al. 2008), assuming that the amount of social in”
Problem-solving performance is correlated with reproductive success in a wild bird population (2013, background): “In captive zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata, males that sang more complex songs, and thus, that were preferred by females, were faster in learning how to solve a novel foraging task (Boogert et al. 2008a).”
