Abstract
A new study argues that social learning is adaptive because 'demonstrators' inadvertently filter information, so that copiers learn behaviours that have proved successful. There are remarkable parallels between these findings and data on how social insects share information about food locations. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.Entities:
