#HomingPigeons improve their route efficiency in consecutive generations, potentially through #SocialInteraction. @esdalmaijer uses artificial agents with a highly limited cognitive architecture to show that although their only "social" capacity is to seek proximity, their behavior matches that of #pigeons, and they show cumulative improvements in route efficiency #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3X6NNOi
