Abstract	A growing body of empirical research suggests many animal species are capable of social learning and even have cultural behavioral traditions. Social learning has implications for community ecology; changes in behavior can lead to changes in inter- and intra-specific (between and within species) interactions. The paper explores possible implications of social learning for ecological community dynamics. Four arguments are made: (1) social learning can result in locally-specific ecological relationships; (2) socially-mediated, locally-specific ecological relationships can have localized indirect interspecific population effects; (3) the involvement of multiple co-existing species in socially learned, locally-specific behavior has the potential to create community-wide effects, including varying levels of stability and instability; and (4) social learning can create new intra- and inter-specific selection pressures on local taxa, potentially resulting in rapid evolution. Implications of all four arguments are discussed in relation to community ecology research and modeling.
