项目摘要

Social animals display some of the most complex and varied behaviours in the animal kingdom. These behaviours can differ between populations of the same species, much like human cultural traditions. Social network analysis (SNA) is a powerful tool that can reveal how social information regarding innovations or behavioural traditions spread within a group. However, SNAs often assume that all individuals are homogenous, ie. equal in their ability to acquire, apply and transmit social information but individual variation in these traits mean than individuals may differ in their ability to learn socially. Such individual heterogeneities could help explain patterns of variation in the spread and repertoire of cultural traditions, and speed of diffusion and adoption. This project will use individual-based SNA to investigate how heterogeneity within primate groups impacts social information flow and this the emergence/evolution of culture. Chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) within the Tsaobis Baboon Project will be used as our model systems, to which SNA models will be tested using 20 years of past data and field experiments. Conclusions generated from this project will be valuable for policy makers and inform conservation actors upon the likelihood of success of primate group reintroduction or translocation initiatives.

社会性动物表现出动物王国中一些最复杂和多样的行为。这些行为在同一物种的种群之间可能有所不同，就像人类的文化传统一样。社交网络分析 (SNA) 是一种强大的工具，可以揭示有关创新或行为传统的社会信息如何在群体内传播。然而，国民账户体系经常假设所有个体都是同质的，即。他们获取、应用和传播社会信息的能力相同，但这些特征的个体差异意味着个体的社交学习能力可能有所不同。这种个体异质性有助于解释文化传统的传播和保留的变异模式，以及传播和采用的速度。该项目将使用基于个体的 SNA 来研究灵长类动物群体内的异质性如何影响社会信息流以及文化的出现/进化。 Tsaobis 狒狒项目中的 Chacma 狒狒 (Papio ursinus) 将用作我们的模型系统，将使用过去 20 年的数据和现场实验来测试 SNA 模型。该项目得出的结论对于政策制定者来说很有价值，并可以让保护行动者了解灵长类动物群体重新引入或易地举措成功的可能性。
