Data from: Translocation experiment of taiga bean geese Anser fabalis provides evidence for oblique social learning of moult migration
<p>While there is ample evidence supporting genetic control of migratory behaviour in short-lived passerines, long-lived social species have been assumed to rely solely on cultural inheritance of migratory routes. Evidence from experimental studies supporting this idea is scarce. We tested whether the moult migration in taiga bean geese <em>Anser fabalis </em>has an inherited component or whether the birds need oblique social learning (where knowledge on migration is transferred from any experienced individual to any naïve individual conspecific) to carry out this journey. In many waterfowl species, non-breeders and failed breeders migrate to remote places for wing moult while successful breeders stay at the breeding grounds and moult with their chicks. We translocated one-year-old taiga bean geese before their first moult migration to sites outside of the breeding range to examine whether they display innate moult migration behaviour without experienced conspecifics or not. The birds were equipped with GPS-transmitters and released in randomly assigned groups of two. Wild control one-year-old birds were released immediately after capture with other non-breeding geese, while a procedural control group consisting of older birds was held in captivity until released at the same time with the translocated one-year-old birds but in the place where they were captured. Most translocated birds found conspecifics and either joined locally moulting breeders or followed experienced birds to moulting sites in Russia. Two of the translocated birds did not find other bean geese and settled to moult together in SW Finland. The wild control birds moult-migrated as expected, while only one of the procedural control birds moult-migrated to Russia and the remaining three stayed with locally moulting breeders in Finland. Our results support the idea that moult migration in geese is culturally inherited, highlighting the importance of the non-relative, experienced adult individuals have in maintaining population-specific behaviours.</p>
Data from: Social disappointment and partner presence affect long-tailed macaque refusal behaviour in an "inequity aversion" experiment
<p><span>Protest in response to unequal reward distribution is thought to have played a central role in the evolution of human cooperation. Some animals refuse food and become demotivated when rewarded more poorly than a conspecific, and this has been taken as evidence that non-human animals, like humans, protest in the face of inequity. An alternative explanation - social disappointment – shifts the cause of this discontent away from the unequal reward, to the human experimenter who could – but elects not to – treat the subject well. This study investigates whether social disappointment could explain frustration behaviour in long-tailed macaques, <em>Macaca</em> <em>fascicularis</em>. We tested 12 monkeys in a novel `inequity aversion' paradigm. Subjects had to pull a lever and were rewarded with low-value food; in half of the trials, a partner worked alongside the subjects receiving high-value food. Rewards were distributed either by a human or a machine. In line with the social disappointment hypothesis, monkeys rewarded by the human refused food more often than monkeys rewarded by the machine. </span>Our study extends previous findings in chimpanzees and suggests that social disappointment plus social facilitation or food competition effects drive food refusal patterns.</p>

Data from: Rain, predators, and spider sociality: a manipulative experiment
Group-living organisms offer a unique perspective on how environmental gradients influence geographic distributions, as not only the properties of individuals, but also those of their groups interact with the environment to determine a species range. In turn, the ranges of group-living organisms should provide insights on the conditions that favor group versus solitary living. Here we show that rain intensity and predation by ants, factors postulated to exclude subsocial Anelosimus spiders from the lowland tropical rainforest, are greater in this habitat than at higher elevations. We further show that experimentally excluding these factors increases the survival of subsocial Anelosimus colonies when transplanted to the lowland rainforest, but not at their native higher elevation range. While providing a rare experimental test of the simultaneous importance of abiotic and biotic gradients on species range limits, these results provide direct evidence that adverse environmental factors may prevent solitary living and require group living in certain environments.
Data from: Transcriptomic signatures of social experience during early development in a highly social cichlid fish
<p><span>The social environment encountered early during development can temporarily or permanently influence life history decisions and behaviour of individuals and correspondingly shape molecular pathways. In the highly social cichlid fish <i>Neolamprologus pulcher,</i> deprivation of brood care permanently affects social behaviour, and alters the expression of stress axis genes in juveniles and adults. It is unclear when gene expression patterns change during early life depending on social experience, and which genes are involved. We compared brain gene expression of <i>N. pulcher </i>at two time points during the social experience phase when juveniles were reared either with or without brood care, and one time point shortly afterwards. We compared (i) whole transcriptomes and (ii) expression of 79 genes related to stress regulation, in order to define a neurogenomic state of stress for each fish. At developmental day 75, that is, after the social experience phase, 43 genes were down-regulated in fish having experienced social deprivation, while two genes involved in learning and memory and in post translational modifications of proteins (PTM), respectively, were up-regulated. Down-regulated genes were mainly associated with immunity, PTM and brain function. In contrast, during the experience phase no genes were differentially expressed when assessing the whole transcriptome. When focusing on the neurogenomic state associated with the stress response, we found that individuals from the two social treatments differed in how their brain gene expression profiles changed over developmental stages. Our results indicate that the early social environment influences the transcriptional activation in fish brains, both during and after an early social experience, possibly affecting plasticity, immune system function and stress axis regulation. </span></p>
Data from: Juvenile social experience generates differences in behavioral variation but not averages
Developmental plasticity is known to influence the mean behavioral phenotype of a population. Yet, studies on how developmental plasticity shapes patterns of variation within populations are comparatively rare and often focus on a subset of developmental cues (e.g. nutrition). One potentially important but understudied developmental experience is social experience, as it is explicitly hypothesized to increase variation among individuals as a way to promote 'social niches.' To test this we exposed juvenile black widow spiders (Latrodectus hesperus) to the silk of conspecifics by transplanting them onto conspecific webs for 48 hours once a week until adulthood. We also utilized an untouched control group as well as a disturbed group. This latter group was removed from their web at the same time points as the social treatment, but was immediately placed back on their own web. After repeatedly measuring adult behavior and web structure we found that social rearing drove higher or significant levels of repeatability relative to the other treatments. Repeatability in the social treatment also decreased in some traits, paralleling the decreases observed in the disturbed treatments. Thus, repeated juvenile disturbance may decrease among-individual differences in adult spiders. Yet, social rearing appeared to override the effect of disturbance in some traits suggesting a prioritization effect. The resulting individual differences were maintained over at least one-third of the adult lifespan, and thus appear to represent stable, canalized developmental effects and not temporal state differences. These results provide proximate insight into how a broader range of developmental experiences shape trait variation.
