Abstract
One way in which new ideas spread is through travel of individuals to and away from centres of innovation. Here, a process is described wherein at least 84 North Americans travelled to work in European ethological laboratories prior to 1975 and at least 15 European ethologists relocated in North America. The North Americans typically learned of ethology from courses, readings, advisors and personal meetings. They were attracted to the kind of science promulgated by ethologists and generally reported positive experiences in Europe. These interactions were one factor as Europeans were successful in spreading their discipline and North Americans found an approach that was congenial and allowed them to build successful academic and scientific careers.
