Journal Article
Brock, W., Bentley, R., O'Brien, M., & Caiado, C. (2014). Estimating a Path through a Map of Decision Making. PLoS ONE, 9(11), Article e111022. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0111022

Studies of the evolution of collective behavior consider the payoffs of individual versus social learning. We have previously proposed that the relative magnitude of social versus individual learning could be compared against the transparency of payo...

Social tipping points and Earth systems dynamics (2014)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Maddison, E., Ranner, P., Bissell, J., Caiado, C., Bhatanacharoen, P., …Garnett, P. (2014). Social tipping points and Earth systems dynamics. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2, Article 35. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2014.00035

Recently, Early Warning Signals (EWS) have been developed to predict tipping points in Earth Systems. This discussion highlights the potential to apply EWS to human social and economic systems, which may also undergo similar critical transitions. Soc...

Effects of memory on spatial heterogeneity in neutrally transmitted culture (2014)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Caiado, C., & Ormerod, P. (2014). Effects of memory on spatial heterogeneity in neutrally transmitted culture. Evolution and Human Behavior, 35(4), 257-263. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2014.02.001

We explore how cultural heterogeneity evolves without strong selection pressure or environmental differences between groups. Using a neutral transmission model with an isolation-by-distance spatiality, we test the effect of a simple representation of...
