The evolution of social learning rules: Payoff-biased and frequency-dependent biased transmission. (2009)
Journal Article
Kendal, J., Giraldeau, L., & Laland, K. (2009). frequency-dependent biased transmission. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 260(2), 210-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2009.05.029

Humans and other animals do not use social learning indiscriminately, rather, natural selection has favoured the evolution of social learning rules that make selective use of social learning to acquire relevant information in a changing environment....

Nineteenth-century population structure of Ireland and of the Irish in England and Wales: An analysis by isonymy (2009)
Journal Article
Smith, M., & MacRaild, D. (2009). Nineteenth-century population structure of Ireland and of the Irish in England and Wales: An analysis by isonymy. American Journal of Human Biology, 21(3), 283-289. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajhb.20856

This article uses isonymy to test predictions about the genetic structure of Irish populations made on the basis of geography and population history, and compares the mid-nineteenth century population of Ireland with the late nineteenth century Irish...

The origins of the Irish in Northern England: an isonymic analysis of data from the 1881 census (2009)
Journal Article

n the mid nineteenth century, the Irish became the largest immigrant group in Britain. Despite impressions of homogeneity delivered by the dominant historiographies, these migrants were in reality complex and changing groups whose variegated nature h...

Nine-spined sticklebacks deploy a hill-climbing social learning strategy. (2009)
Journal Article
Kendal, J., Rendell, L., Pike, T., & Laland, K. (2009). Nine-spined sticklebacks deploy a hill-climbing social learning strategy. Behavioral Ecology, 20(2), 238-244. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arp016

Theoretical models on the adaptive advantages of social learning lead to the conclusion that copying cannot be indiscriminate and that individuals should adopt evolved behavioral strategies that dictate the circumstances under which they copy others...

A critical assessment of two species distribution models: a case study of the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops). (2009)
Journal Article
Willems, E., & Hill, R. (2009). A critical assessment of two species distribution models: a case study of the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops). Journal of Biogeography, 36(12), 2300-2312. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2699.2009.02166.x

Aim Species distribution models are invaluable tools in biogeographical, ecological and applied biological research, but specific concerns have been raised in relation to different modelling techniques in terms of their validity. Here we compare two... Read More about A critical assessment of two species distribution models: a case study of the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops)..
