Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation (2013, background): “An ability to cope with complex environmental challenges through learning opens up ecological niches previously unavailable to the animal: a point eloquently expressed by Avital and Jablonka (2000). They suggested that animals use their plasticity to stretch their behavioural repertoire, and the new”
Soft inheritance: challenging the modern synthesis (2008, background): “Avital and Jablonka (2000) give many more examples of animal traditions based on non-imitative and imitative social learning (or a combination of both).”
The role of behavior in evolution: a search for mechanism (2008, background): “Second, in species with high cognitive abilities, learned behaviors can be rapidly culturally transmitted, which can result in alteration of the selective environment for many individuals at the same time (Wyles et al. 1983; Jablonka and Lamb 1995; Avital and Jablonka 2000; West-Eberhard 2003).”
Discussion: Three Ways to Misunderstand Developmental Systems Theory (2005, background): “These include organism–environment co-evolution (Brandon and Antonovics 1996), multiple heredity systems (Jablonka and Lamb 1995; Jablonka and Avital 2001), and niche construction (Odling-Smee 1988; Laland et al.”
The paradox of Spoonbill migration : Most birds travel to where survival rates are lowest (2011, unknown): “However, it is still possible that immature birds follow older, more experienced, birds during migration (Avital & Jablonka 2000).”
Paternally-induced transgenerational environmental reprogramming of metabolic gene expression in mammals (2010, background): “Although we focus here on epigenetic inheritance systems, it is important to note that parental information can also be passed to offspring via social or cultural inheritance systems (Avital and Jablonka, 2000; Champagne and Meaney, 2001; Jablonka and Lamb, 1995; Meaney et al., 2007; Weaver et al., ”
Epigenetics for behavioral ecologists (2013, background): “For instance, this review did not cover cultural inheritance and niche construction, 2 more broadly defined, nongenetic processes that might have profound, non-germline effects on behavior and are common in nature (Avital and Jablonka 2000; Odling-Smee et al.”
Role of Peers in Cultural Innovation and Cultural Transmission: Evidence from the Play of Dolphin Calves (2006, background): “Avital and Jablonka (2000) suggested that animal traditions must be actively constructed during ontogeny, a notion that emphasizes the role of other animals in the behavioral development of individual animals.”
Towards a unified science of cultural evolution. (2006, background): “We end by considering the burgeoning literature that has emerged in the last few years regarding nonhuman social learning and culture (see Avital & Jablonka 2000; Byrne et al. 2004; Fragaszy & Perry 2003; Laland & Hoppitt 2003; Whiten 2005b; Whiten et al. 2003), which suggest parallels with the…”
Why do Dolphins Play (2014, background): “Avital and Jablonka (2000) suggested that much of the information that constitutes animal culture is acquired during ontogeny.”
