Public information: from nosy neighbors to cultural evolution.

Etienne G. J. Danchin, Luc-Alain Giraldeau, Thomas J. Valone, R. Harrison Wagner
Science
2004

Psychologists, economists, and advertising moguls have long known that human decision-making is strongly influenced by the behavior of others. A rapidly accumulating body of evidence suggests that… (More)

The genome sequence of the model ascomycete fungus Podospora anserina

Eric Espagne, Olivier Lespinet, +32 authors Philippe Silar
Genome Biology
2007

The dung-inhabiting ascomycete fungus Podospora anserina is a model used to study various aspects of eukaryotic and fungal biology, such as ageing, prions and sexual development. We present a 10X… (More)

Microsatellite flanking regions have been compared in two butterfly species. Several microsatellite flanking regions showed high similarity to one another among different microsatellites within a… (More)

Public information and breeding habitat selection in a wild bird population.

B Doligez, Etienne G. J. Danchin, Jean Clobert
Science
2002

According to the "public information" hypothesis, some animal species may monitor the current reproductive success of conspecifics to assess local habitat quality and to choose their own subsequent… (More)

Individual covariation in life-history traits: seeing the trees despite the forest.

Emmanuelle Cam, William Link, Evan G. Cooch, Jean-Yves Monnat, Etienne G. J. Danchin
The American naturalist
2002

We investigated the influence of age on survival and breeding rates in a long-lived species Rissa tridactyla using models with individual random effects permitting variation and covariation in… (More)

Multiple lateral gene transfers and duplications have promoted plant parasitism ability in nematodes.

Etienne G. J. Danchin, Marie-Noëlle Rosso, +4 authors Pierre Abad
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
2010

Lateral gene transfer from prokaryotes to animals is poorly understood, and the scarce documented examples generally concern genes of uncharacterized role in the receiver organism. In contrast, in… (More)

Beyond DNA: integrating inclusive inheritance into an extended theory of evolution

Etienne G. J. Danchin, Anne Charmantier, F. Champagne, Alex Mesoudi, Benoît Pujol, Simon Blanchet
Nature Reviews Genetics
2011

Many biologists are calling for an 'extended evolutionary synthesis' that would 'modernize the modern synthesis' of evolution. Biological information is typically considered as being transmitted… (More)

The use of conspecific reproductive success for breeding patch selection in terrestrial migratory species

Thierry Boulinier, Etienne G. J. Danchin
Evolutionary Ecology
1997

Classical models of breeding habitat selection rarely deal with the question of information gathering for patch quality assessment. In this paper, we present two models comparing the fitness outcomes… (More)

Public Versus Personal Information for Mate Copying in an Invertebrate

Frederic Mery, Susana A.M. Varela, +4 authors R. Harrison Wagner
Current Biology
2009

Organisms require information to make decisions about fitness-affecting resources, such as mates. Animals may extract "personal information" about potential mates by observing their physical… (More)

Blue Tits use fledgling quantity and quality as public information in breeding site choice.

Deseada Parejo, Joel White, Jean Clobert, Amélie N. Dreiss, Etienne G. J. Danchin
Ecology
2007

Public information (PI), which is the information that can be derived from the behavior and performance of conspecifics, has been demonstrated to be used in many fitness-enhancing decisions. In the… (More)
