Behavioral differences observed between wild communities of the same species have been called “cul-tures ” by some researchers who aimed to underline the similarities with human cultures. However, whether these differ-ences truly result from social learning processes is debated. Despite promising recent research, data acquired in the wild still fail to exclude genetic and ecological factors from being potential explanations for the observed behavioral differences. A potential way to address this prob-lem is through field experiments where communities of the same subspecies are exposed to identical apparatuses. Thi
