Personality affects learning and trade-offs between private and social information in guppies, Poecilia reticulata (2014, background): “In situations in which personal and public information conflict, however, Kendal, Coolen, and Laland (2004) showed that guppies adjust the importance they place on conformity according to potential cost.”
‘Conformity’ in Norway rats? (2008, background): “In the Kendal et al. (2004) study of guppy feeding site selection mentioned above individual subjects were given a choice between two feeding patches, one behind an opaque barrier and the other in a location where they had previously seen a group of other guppies feeding.”
Beyond DNA: integrating inclusive inheritance into an extended theory of evolution (2011, background): “Furthermore, cultural dominance (that is, the fact that, when two populations with different cultural patterns are in contact, one behaviour will be transmitted over the other rather than intermediate phenotypes emerging) might occur through behavioural conformis”
Trade‐Offs in the Adaptive Use of Social and Asocial Learning (2005, methodology): “To what extent do stat e ‐ depen dent factors (such as social status, hunger, age, and sex), and individual differenc es (in for exampl e, neop hilia/neoph obia and ment al abilities ) influence the use of soci al learn ing stra tegies regarding both when individuals use soci al informat ion and fro”
Nine-spined sticklebacks deploy a hill-climbing social learning strategy (2009, background): “…including copy-when-asocial-learning-is-costly (Laland and Williams 1998; Coolen et al. 2003; Kendal et al. 2004), copy-when- uncertain (Rafacz and Templeton 2003; Kendal et al. 2004; van Bergen et al. 2004; Coolen et al. 2005; Galef et al. 2008), and copy-when-dissatisfied (Galef et al. 2008).”
