contents Network indicators of cultural resilience to anthropogenic removals in animal societies. Meier, Amelia C Restrepo Ochoa, Nicolas Nordseth, Anna E Copeland, Molly Foroughirad, Vivienne Mann, Janet Wittemyer, George Smith, Jennifer E Animals Elephants Bottle-Nosed Dolphin Social Learning Anthropogenic Effects Papio Social Behavior Behavior, Animal Social learning, information transmission and culture play vital roles in the lives of social animals, influencing their survival, reproduction and ability to adapt to changing environments. However, the effect of anthropogenic disturbances on these processes is poorly understood in free-living animals. To investigate the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on social learning and information transmission, we simulated individual removal from contact networks derived from long-term behavioural datasets. We simulate the effects of individual removal on network efficiency and social learning for three group-living species-yellow baboons (), African savanna elephants () and Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (). We reveal how removals of key network positions reduce network efficiency. However, groups with high levels of innovation may cope with changing social network structures. These findings highlight the importance of protecting key individuals to preserve group structure and the role of innovation in possibly mitigating the fitness costs of removals. Identifying and safeguarding individuals that drive innovation can reduce a group's susceptibility to anthropogenic threats and promote cultural resilience in social animals in a changing world. These emerging trends contribute to a growing understanding of the role of conservation interventions in protecting critical individuals in group-living animals.This article is part of the theme issue 'Animal culture: conservation in a changing world'.
