Abstract We provide an overview of the most commonly used social network measures in animal research for static networks or time‐aggregated networks. For each these measures, we clear explanations as to what they measure, describe their respective variants, underline necessity consider variants according question addressed, and indicate considerations that have not been taken so far. a guideline indicating how use them depending on data collection protocol, system studied addressed. Finally,...
When tested in rectangular arenas, the navigational behavior of ant Gigantiops destructor can produce results similar to vertebrates. Such are usually interpreted as supporting ability animals segregate spatial geometry and features. Here, we combine a detailed analysis ants' paths with panoramic images taken from ant's perspective that serve basis for developing view-based matching models. The corner choices observed ants were better predicted by use views along simple process [rotational...
Among nonhuman primates, the evolutionary underpinnings of variation in social structure remain debated, with both ancestral relationships and adaptation to current conditions hypothesized play determining roles. Here we assess whether interspecific higher-order aspects female macaque (genus: Macaca) dominance grooming show phylogenetic signals, that is, greater similarity among more closely-related species. We use a network approach describe characteristics structure, based on direct...
We review the literature on Dutch disease, and document that shocks trigger foreign exchange inflows (such as natural resource booms, surges in aid, remittances, or capital inflows) appreciate real rate, generate factor reallocation, reduce manufacturing output net exports. also observe rate misalignment due to overvaluation higher volatility of lower growth. Regarding effect undervaluation economic growth, evidence is mixed inconclusive. However, there no disease reduces overall Policy...
A society is a complex system composed of individuals that can be characterized by their own attributes influence behaviors. In this study, specific analytical protocol based on social network analysis was adopted to investigate the four (gender, age, matriline, and hierarchical rank) affiliative (allogrooming) agonistic networks in non-human primate species, Macaca sylvanus, at park La Forêt des Singes France. The results show significant differences with respect position (i.e., centric,...
Abstract The study of non-human multilevel societies can give us insights into how group-level relationships function and are maintained in a social system, but their mechanisms still poorly understood. aim this was to apply spatial association data obtained from drones verify the presence structure feral horse society. We took aerial photos individuals that appeared pre-fixed areas collected positional data. threshold distance defined based on distribution pattern inter-individual distance....
Social groups take a myriad of forms, reflecting the countless different ways in which animals can interact and associate (Wilson, 2000). This diversity calls for broad dynamic toolkit that is both robust allowing rigorous quantification societies but also flexible its ability to account control nuances associated with each ecological system. Since Sade (1972) first used social network analysis study heterogeneity affiliative interactions primates their relationship dominance rank, this...
Social network analysis is a powerful tool that enables us to describe and quantify relationships between individuals. So far most of the studies rely on analyses various snapshots, but do not capture changes over time. Here we use stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM) test both structure dynamics three groups wild vervet monkeys. We found triadic closure (i.e. friend friend) was significant in all while degree popularity willingness associate with individuals high connections) only two...

Abstract The possible role played by individual attributes, sociodemographic characteristics and/or ecological pressures in the interaction between animals and development of social relationships them is great interest animal ecology evolutionary biology. Social Network Analysis an ideal tool to study these types questions. Animal Toolkit Software (ANTs) R package was specifically developed provide all different network analysis techniques currently used networks. This global enables users...
Abstract Social transmission of information is taxonomically widespread and could have profound effects on the ecological evolutionary dynamics animal communities. Demonstrating this in wild, however, has been challenging. Here we show by field experiment that social among predators can shape how selection acts prey defences. Using artificial a novel approach statistical analyses networks, find blue tit ( Cyanistes caeruleus ) great Parus major learn about defences watching others. This...
Abstract Mate choice and pair-bonding are the products of complex decisions involving repeated social interactions over time. They generally rely on multiple sexual signals behaviours, depend phenotype experiences chooser affected by environmental conditions competition for mate access. However, studies investigating mechanisms selection often ignore dynamic aspects pair formation. In current study, we used network analyses to (1) describe time in groups captive zebra finches (Taeniopygia...
There is a vast and ever-accumulating amount of behavioural data on individually recognised animals, an incredible resource to shed light the ecological evolutionary drivers variation in animal behaviour. Yet, full potential such lies comparative research across taxa with distinct life histories ecologies. Substantial challenges impede systematic comparisons, one which lack persistent, accessible standardised databases. Big-team approaches building databases offer solution facilitating...
Abstract Data collection biases are a persistent issue for studies of social networks. This has been particularly important in animal network analysis (ASNA), where data often unevenly sampled and such may potentially lead to incorrect inferences about behaviour. Here, we address the by developing Bayesian model, which not only estimates structure but also explicitly accounts sampling censoring biases. Using set simulation experiments designed reflect various observational encountered...

Commodity-exporting countries have significantly benefited from the commodity price boom of recent years. At current juncture, however, uncertain global economic prospects raised questions about their vulnerability to a sharp fall in prices and policies that can shield it such shock. To address these questions, this paper takes long term (4 decade) view at emerging markets' dependence, history busts role mitigating or amplifying impact. The highlights stark difference trends between Latin...
The social relationships that individuals experience at different life stages have a non-negligible influence on their lives, and this is particularly true for group living animals. long lifespan of many primates makes it likely these animals various tactics interaction to adapt complex changes in environmental or physical conditions. strategies used by stages, whether the position (central peripheral) role (initiator recipient) an individual network with age, are intriguing questions remain...

Abstract In social networks analysis, two different approaches have predominated in creating null models for hypothesis testing, namely pre‐network and node network permutation approaches. Although the approach appears more advantageous, its use has mainly been restricted to data on associations sampling methods such as ‘group follows’. The recently adapted interactions focal method, but performance scenarios not thoroughly explored. Here, we assessed of several simulated based proneness...
