Journal Article
Brown, T., Avenell, A., Edmunds, L., Moore, H., Whittaker, V., Avery, L., …team, F. T. P. (2009). Systematic review of long-term lifestyle interventions to prevent weight gain and morbidity in adults. Obesity Reviews, 10(6), 627-638. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-789x.2009.00641.x

The aim of this article is to determine the effectiveness of long-term lifestyle interventions for the prevention of weight gain and morbidity in adults. Prevention of weight gain is important in adults who are of normal weight, overweight and obese....

Kendal, J., Tehrani, J., & Kendal, R. (2009). The Evolution of Human Behaviour

Humans share 95–99% of DNA sequences with chimpanzees, our closest living relative. Yet there are obviously huge differences in behaviour, including our capacity for remarkable technological advances, our development of social institutions and our us...

Identifying Social Learning in Animal Populations: A New ‘Option-Bias’ Method (2009)
Journal Article
Kendal, R., Kendal, J., Hoppitt, W., & Laland, K. (2009). Identifying Social Learning in Animal Populations: A New ‘Option-Bias’ Method. PLoS ONE, 4(8), Article e6541. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0006541

Background: Studies of natural animal populations reveal widespread evidence for the diffusion of novel behaviour patterns, and for intra- and inter-population variation in behaviour. However, claims that these are manifestations of animal ‘culture’... Read More about Identifying Social Learning in Animal Populations: A New ‘Option-Bias’ Method.

1 Introduction Obesity arises from a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility and behaviour, primarily relating to dietary habits and physical activity (Foresight, 2007). Evidence for specific behavioural factors that promote or protect again...
