BACKGROUND Culture—the inheritance of an array of behavioral traditions through social
learning from others—was once thought specific to humans. Recent and accumulating …

A key goal of conservation is to protect biodiversity by supporting the long-term persistence
of viable, natural populations of wild species. Conservation practice has long been guided …

The emergence, spread, and establishment of innovations within cultures can promote
adaptive responses to anthropogenic change. We describe a putative case of the …

Explaining how animals respond to an increasingly urbanised world is a major challenge for
evolutionary biologists. Urban environments often present animals with novel problems that …

Species interactions that vary across environments can create geographical mosaics of
genetic coevolution. However, traits mediating species interactions are sometimes culturally …

Recent studies in several taxa have demonstrated that animal culture can evolve to become
more efficient in various contexts ranging from tool use to route learning and migration …

Dispersal has been suggested to be challenging, especially for species that heavily rely on
social learning for knowledge acquisition. One of the obstacles that migrants face is learning …

The study of innovation in non‐human animals (henceforth: animals) has recently gained
momentum across fields including primatology, animal behaviour and cultural evolution …

To assess threats to the population of native mammals and their survival, we performed a
retrospective study utilizing a rescue and rehabilitation database from Nepal. Based on a …

Abstract Das Zusammenleben der Menschen entwickelte sich weniger durch natürliche
Selektion als durch kulturelles Lernen und verstehende Kooperation. Wie wir die …
