A very interesting article (open access) in @theoryculturesociety.org on non-human animal cultures and extinctions, written by wonderful colleagues, led by @thomvandooren.bsky.social including our PhD Sam Widin. But didn't Darwin and later animal ecologists write on animal cultures?

Danielle Celermajer and Sophie Chao did an amazing job as issue editors and curated a collection of articles that I still think about all the time: www.dukeupress.edu/multispecies...
