Evidence of social learning is growing across the animal kingdom. Researchers have long hypothesized that social interactions play a key role in many animal migrations, but strong empirical support is scarce except in a few unique systems and species. In this review, we aim to catalyze advances in the study of social migrations by synthesizing research across disciplines and providing a framework for understanding when, how, and why social influences shape the decisions animals make during migration. Integrating research across the fields of social learning and migration ecology will advance our understanding of the complex behavioral phenomena of animal migration and help to inform conservation of animal migrations in a changing world.
动物王国的社会学习证据正在不断增加。研究人员长期以来一直假设，社会互动在许多动物迁徙中起着关键作用，但除了一些独特的系统和物种外，实证支持很少。在这篇综述中，我们旨在通过综合跨学科的研究来促进社会迁徙研究的进展，并提供一个框架，以了解社会影响在何时、如何以及为何影响动物在迁徙过程中的决策。整合社会学习和迁徙生态学领域的研究将增进我们对动物迁徙这一复杂行为现象的理解，并有助于在不断变化的世界中为保护动物迁徙提供信息。
