Keeping Environmental Enrichment Enriching (2002, background): “These environments are often characterized by fluctuating physical features, such as aquatic environments (Steele, 1985), but might also involve intricate social structures (Tomasello, 1998; Mann et al., 2000).”
Developmental evidence for foraging traditions in wild bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “Vertical social learning (mothers to calves) is particularly likely because calves are exposed to maternal foraging for 3–8 years before weaning (Mann et al. 2000a), but begin capturing fish at 3–4 months of age, and, like their mothers, show diverse and individually distinctive foraging tactics…”
The socioecology of elephants: analysis of the processes creating multitiered social structures (2005, background): “Despite the importance and variability of social layering in human societies (Freeman 1992; Cummins 2000), little attention has been given to such structuring in animal societies, apart from some work on cetaceans (see Mann et al. 2000).”
