Social transmission rates (95% CI) across different group compositions. (The parameter s provides the rate at which an individual acquires information per unit of network connection, relative to the average asocial learning rate (set here as the learning rate for a shy individual of average body length in a bold-dominated group) [22]. Model-averaged 95% CIs were obtained using profile likelihood techniques [35] across all models that included the group-membership networks and best-supported social learning pathway (indicated in bold in the electronic supplementary material, table S1). This pathway constrained certain s parameters and their associated CIs to be equal (e.g. across mixed and shy-dominated groups).)

social connection	bold-dominated	mixed	shy-dominated

sB→S	1.47 (0.35, 2.85)	4.55 (2.88, 9.76)	4.79 (2.88, 9.76)
sS→S	1.33 (0.35, 2.85)	3.48 (1.47, 5.22)	2.86 (1.47, 5.22)
