Factors affecting the stability of foraging traditions in fishes. (2008)
Journal Article
Stanley, E., Kendal, R., Kendal, J., Grounds, S., & Laland, K. (2008). Factors affecting the stability of foraging traditions in fishes. Animal Behaviour, 75, 565-572. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2007.06.014

There is considerable laboratory-based evidence that social learning plays a role in the behaviour of many animals, including fishes. However, a weakness of such studies in fishes, is that in virtually all to-date, the behaviour exhibited could be le...

Conceptual Barriers to Progress Within Evolutionary Biology. (2008)
Journal Article
Laland, K., Odling-Smee, J., Feldman, M., & Kendal, J. (2009). Conceptual Barriers to Progress Within Evolutionary Biology. Foundations of Science, 14, 195-216. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10699-008-9153-8

In spite of its success, Neo-Darwinism is faced with major conceptual barriers to further progress, deriving directly from its metaphysical foundations. Most importantly, neo- Darwinism fails to recognize a fundamental cause of evolutionary change, “... Read More about Conceptual Barriers to Progress Within Evolutionary Biology..
