Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2024 Nov;
121(48):e2322887121.
PMID: 39556723
Cultural evolution applies evolutionary concepts and tools to explain the change of culture over time. Despite advances in both theoretical and empirical methods, the connections between cultural evolutionary theory and...

Mezey D, Deffner D, Kurvers R, Romanczuk P
PLoS Comput Biol
. 2024 May;
20(5):e1012087.
PMID: 38701082
Collective dynamics emerge from individual-level decisions, yet we still poorly understand the link between individual-level decision-making processes and collective outcomes in realistic physical systems. Using collective foraging to study the...

Elife
. 2024 Apr;
12.
PMID: 38562050
In the unpredictable Anthropocene, a particularly pressing open question is how certain species invade urban environments. Sex-biased dispersal and learning arguably influence movement ecology, but their joint influence remains unexplored...

Pope-Caldwell S, Deffner D, Maurits L, Neumann T, Haun D
Sci Rep
. 2024 Mar;
14(1):7236.
PMID: 38538731
Human cognition is incredibly flexible, allowing us to thrive within diverse environments. However, humans also tend to stick to familiar strategies, even when there are better solutions available. How do...

Deffner D, Mezey D, Kahl B, Schakowski A, Romanczuk P, Wu C, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2024 Mar;
15(1):2683.
PMID: 38538580
Collective dynamics emerge from countless individual decisions. Yet, we poorly understand the processes governing dynamically-interacting individuals in human collectives under realistic conditions. We present a naturalistic immersive-reality experiment where groups...

Tump A, Deffner D, Pleskac T, Romanczuk P, Kurvers R
Perspect Psychol Sci
. 2023 Sep;
19(2):538-551.
PMID: 37671891
Collective dynamics play a key role in everyday decision-making. Whether social influence promotes the spread of accurate information and ultimately results in adaptive behavior or leads to false information cascades...

Sibilsky A, Colleran H, Deffner D, Haun D
PLoS One
. 2023 Feb;
18(2):e0274061.
PMID: 36757970
Observational learning plays a key role in cultural transmission. Previous transmission chain experiments have shown that children are able to maintain information across multiple generations through observational learning. It still...

Redhead D, Minocher R, Deffner D
Behav Brain Sci
. 2022 Jul;
45:e120.
PMID: 35796381
Network theory is necessary for the realization of cognitive representations and resulting empirical observations of social groups. We propose that the triadic primitives denoting individual roles are multilayer, with positive...

Deffner D, McElreath R
PLoS One
. 2022 Apr;
17(4):e0267204.
PMID: 35427404
Culture and demography jointly facilitate flexible human adaptation, yet it still remains unclear how social learning operates in populations with age structure. Here, we present a mathematical model of the...

PLoS Comput Biol
. 2022 Apr;
18(4):e1009430.
PMID: 35395004
Population size has long been considered an important driver of cultural diversity and complexity. Results from population genetics, however, demonstrate that in populations with complex demographic structure or mode of...
