Selective attention to philopatric models causes directed social learning in wild vervet monkeys.
Human behaviour is often based on social learning, a mechanism that has been documented also in a variety of other vertebrates. However, social learning as a means of problem-solving may be optimal only under specific conditions, and both theoretical work and laboratory experiments highlight the importance of a potential model's identity. Here we present the results from a social learning exper...
متن کاملIntergroup Variation of Social Relationships in Wild Vervet Monkeys: A Dynamic Network Approach
Social network analysis is a powerful tool that enables us to describe and quantify relationships between individuals. So far most of the studies rely on the analyses of various network snapshots, but do not capture changes over time. Here we use a stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM) to test both the structure and the dynamics of relationships of three groups of wild vervet monkeys. We found...

متن کاملSocial Coordination: Patience Is a Virtue for Vervet Monkeys
Free-ranging vervet monkeys can solve a complex, multi-player coordination problem, learning to remain outside a 'forbidden circle' imposed by one member of the troop, in the absence of any social learning, communication, or policing by more dominant animals.
