Using road patrol data to identify factors associated with carnivore roadkill counts (2019)
Journal Article
Williams, S. T., Collinson, W., Patterson-Abrolat, C., Marneweck, D. G., & Swanepoel, L. H. (2019). Using road patrol data to identify factors associated with carnivore roadkill counts. PeerJ – the Journal of Life & Environmental Sciences, 7, https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.6650

As the global road network expands, roads pose an emerging threat to wildlife populations. One way in which roads can affect wildlife is wildlife-vehicle collisions, which can be a significant cause of mortality through roadkill. In order to successf...

Social Learning Strategies: Bridge-building between fields (2018)
Journal Article
Kendal, R., Boogert, N., Rendell, L., Laland, K., Webster, M., & Jones, P. (2018). Social Learning Strategies: Bridge-building between fields. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 22(7), 651-665. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2018.04.003

While social learning is widespread, indiscriminate copying of others is rarely beneficial. Theory suggests that individuals should be selective in what, when, and whom they copy, by following ‘social learning strategies’ (SLSs). The SLS concept has...
