Does social/cultural learning increase human adaptability?: Rogers's question revisited (2003, unknown): “As discussed by Kameda and Nakanishi (2002), the situation leads to a mixed equilibrium eventually, where individual learners and imitators coexist at a stable ratio in the population.”
Costs of group size: lower developmental and reproductive rates in larger groups of leaf monkeys (2008, background): “ocial foraging is assumed to provide benefits but might also impose costs ( Giraldeau and Caraco 2000 ) with the rate of food acquired by an individual dependent on the number of foragers (Pulliam and Caraco 1984; Clark and Mangel 1986; Beauchamp 1998).”
Mixed-species flocks: an example of niche construction? (2011, background): “In a complex andscape, birds may benefit from the community memory, different members of the flock having had experience in finding food in the past lead the others to profitable patches (Giraldeau & Caraco 2000).”
Information transfer and gain in flocks: the effects of quality and quantity of social information at different neighbour distances (2004, unknown): “Conspecific behaviour is a source of information that may directly or indirectly affect the costs and benefits of social foraging (Roberts 1996; Beauchamp 1998; Giraldeau and Caraco 2000).”
Who are the innovators? A field experiment with 2 passerine species (2011, background): “Although scrounging was not an option when none of the devices were solved or when rewards were depleted, previous visits providing scrounging opportunities might have led to exclusive investment in this alternative tactic by some individuals (Giraldeau and Caraco 2000).”
Social information, antipredatory vigilance and flight in bird flocks (2006, background): “If they are preceded by a careful examination of the empirical evidence (Lazarus 2003; Treves 2003), foraging models provide guidelines for further experimental studies (Giraldeau & Caraco 2000; Krause & Ruxton 2002).”
Impact of food predictability on social facilitation by foraging scavengers (2010, unknown): “The higher aggregation we observe when individuals use personal information is relatively counterintuitive and in contradiction with the conceptual theory of social foraging (Giraldeau and Caraco 2000).”
Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “…selection to optimize lifetime reproductive success and are capable of rapid adaptive shifts in behavior to contemporary environmental conditions, which can be broadly defined to include ecological, social, and political dimensions (e.g., Bliege Bird and Smith 2005; Giraldeau and Caraco 2000).”
To give and to give not: The behavioral ecology of human food transfers (2004, background): “Gurven makes little mention of the extensive theoretical and empirical work on producer-scrounger interactions in the animal behavior literature (e.g., Beauchamp & Giraldeau 1997; Giraldeau & Caraco 2000).”
The role of conformity in foraging when personal and social information conflict (2004, background): “Although these distinctions are useful, the latter term is arguably overly restrictive as all forms of social learning involve the use of socially acquired information (Giraldeau, 1997; Giraldeau and Caraco, 2000).”
Social Conventions in Wild White‐faced Capuchin Monkeys (2003, background): “…behaviors via social learning, asocial learning, and/or genetic transmission under various sets of conditions and in modeling the population dynamics of social transmission (see, e.g., Boyd and Richerson 1985; Giraldeau and Caraco 2000; Laland 1996, 1999; Lefebvre and Giraldeau 1996; Dewar n.d.).”
A new bio-inspired optimisation algorithm: Bird Swarm Algorithm (2016, background): “Producers actively search for food, while scroungers just feed from the food found by the producers (Barnard & Sibly, 1981; Giraldeau & Caraco, 2000).”
