Interactions between shoal size and conformity in guppy social foraging. (2001)
Journal Article
Day, R., MacDonald, T., Brown, C., Laland, K., & Reader, S. (2001). Interactions between shoal size and conformity in guppy social foraging. Animal Behaviour, 62, 917-925. https://doi.org/10.1006/anbe.2001.1820

Previous experimental studies have established that shoaling fish forage more effectively in large than small groups. We investigated how shoal size affects the foraging efficiency of laboratory populations of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, exposed...

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..

We used a longitudinal database from a natural fertility population in rural Gambia to compare the overall fertility of mothers who had given birth to twins at some point in their reproductive history and mothers who had only ever given birth to sing...

Book Chapter
Layton, R. (2001). Hunter-gatherers, their neighbours and the nation state. In C. Panter-Brick, R. Layton, & P. Rowley-Conwy (Eds.), Hunters and gatherers: an interdisciplinary perspective. Cambridge University Press

Reviews the archaeological and anthropological evidence for interaction between hunter-gatherer communities and their neighbours. Argues that few if any recent hunter-gatherers have been isolated, and that shifts in subsistence strategy in and out of... Read More about Hunter-gatherers, their neighbours and the nation state..
