Observational social learning of "know-how" and "know-what" in wild orangutans: evidence from nest-building skill acquisition

Andrea Permana, Junaidi Jaka Permana, Lara Nellissen…·Caroline Schuppli

This study shows wild orangutans learn nest-building skills through observational social learning, with selective attention to 'know-how' and transmission of 'know-what' information.

Comparison of a computer vision model to a human observer in detecting African mammals in camera trap images within a safari park

Naomi Davies Walsh, Carl Chalmers, Paul Fergus…·Serge A. Wich

This study compares a computer vision model and human observers in detecting African mammals in camera trap images, finding the model reduces processing time by 82% but undercounts species compared to humans.
