Cultural coevolution of norm adoption and enforcement when punishers are rewarded or non-punishers are punished (2006)
Journal Article
Kendal, J., Feldman, M., & Aoki, K. (2006). Cultural coevolution of norm adoption and enforcement when punishers are rewarded or non-punishers are punished. Theoretical Population Biology, 70(1), 10-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tpb.2006.01.003

A number of studies have shown that social norms can be maintained at a high frequency when norm-violators are punished. However, there remains the problem of how norm-adopters and punishers coevolve within a single group. We develop a recursive syst...

Cultural Niche Construction in a metapopulation (2006)
Journal Article
Borenstein, E., Kendal, J., & Feldman, M. (2006). Cultural Niche Construction in a metapopulation. Theoretical Population Biology, 70(1), 92-104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tpb.2005.10.003

Abstract Cultural niche construction is the process by which certain evolving cultural traits form a cultural niche that affects the evolution of other genetic and cultural traits [Laland, K., et al., 2001. Cultural niche construction and human evolu... Read More about Cultural Niche Construction in a metapopulation.

Neophilia, innovation and social learning: A study of intergeneric differences in Callitrichid monkeys. (2003)
Journal Article
Day, R., Coe, R., Kendal, J., & Laland, K. (2003). Neophilia, innovation and social learning: A study of intergeneric differences in Callitrichid monkeys. Animal Behaviour, 65, 559-571. https://doi.org/10.1006/anbe.2003.2074

In a comparative study of neophilia, innovation and social attentiveness we exposed individuals in seven callitrichid species, from three genera, to novel extractive foraging tasks. The results revealed consistently shorter response latencies, higher... Read More about Neophilia, innovation and social learning: A study of intergeneric differences in Callitrichid monkeys..

Validating cultural transmission in Cetaceans. (2001)
Journal Article
Day, R., Kendal, J., & Laland, K. (2001). Validating cultural transmission in Cetaceans. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 24(2), 330-331. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x01293960

The evidence of high cognitive abilities in cetaceans does not stand up to close scrutiny under the standards established by laboratory researchers. This is likely to lead to a sterile debate between laboratory and field researchers unless fresh ways... Read More about Validating cultural transmission in Cetaceans..
