Abstract
⺠Sponging is a vertically, socially transmitted foraging behaviour in bottlenose dolphins. ⺠We investigated sponging stability and establishment with an individual-based model. ⺠Sponging is stably transmitted under certain conditions of learning fidelity and fitness benefits. ⺠Based on pairwise relatedness, sponging might have been present for at least 120 years.
