Peering into the world of wild passerines with 3D-SOCS: synchronized video capture and posture estimation

The paper introduces 3D-SOCS, a system for collecting behavioral data on wild birds using synchronized video, and finds it can estimate 3D postures and characterize visual fields in great tits.

Immigrant birds learn from socially observed differences in payoffs when their environment changes

This study shows that great tits adjust their social learning strategies based on environmental changes, using social information more when payoffs and environments differ.

The contribution of movement to social network structure and spreading dynamics under simple and complex transmission

This study uses simulations to show how movement and social rules affect network structure and the spread of behavior, with varying impacts depending on transmission rules and network dynamics.

From Data to Theory: Understanding the Role of Naive Learners in Cultural Change

This paper uses a generative model to explore how population turnover and naive learners influence cultural evolution by simulating social transmission and reinforcement learning.

Cultural diffusion dynamics depend on behavioural production rules

This study presents a generative model integrating social transmission and production rules to show how individual-level behavioural rules influence cultural diffusion dynamics and inferential model performance.

Social network architecture and the tempo of cumulative cultural evolution

This study simulates cultural trait innovation and diffusion in structured populations to show how social network architecture affects cumulative cultural evolution outcomes.
