DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3576
Abstract: Group living in species can have complex consequences for individuals, populations, and ecosystems. Thus, estimating group density and size is often essential for understanding population dynamics, interspecific interactions, and conservation needs of group-living species. Spatial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.12.015
Abstract: Emotional contagion refers to an instantaneous matching of an emotional state between a subject and an object. It is believed to form one of the bases of empathy and it causes consistent group behavior in… read more here.

“Fitness benefits and emergent division of labor at the onset of group-living”
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Nature"
DOI: 10.1038/s41586-018-0422-6
Abstract: The initial fitness benefits of group living are considered to be the greatest hurdle to the evolution of sociality1, and evolutionary theory predicts that these benefits need to arise at very small group sizes2. Such… read more here.

Antennal grooming facilitates courtship performance in a group-living insect, the German cockroach Blattella germanica

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-39868-x
Abstract: The antennae of adult male German cockroaches detect a contact sex pheromone embedded in the female’s cuticular lipids. The female pheromone stimulates courtship behavior in males, notably a wing-raising (WR) display. Within aggregations, however, cuticular… read more here.

The shortfall of sociality: group-living affects hunting performance of individual social spiders

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/ary099
Abstract: Ineffective hunters in cooperative foraging groups may be shielded from natural selection by their more effective group mates, whereas those living solitarily would starve and thus be removed from the population. The problem may be… read more here.

The hidden cost of group living for aggregating juveniles in a sexually dimorphic species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biological Journal of The Linnean Society"
DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blaa090
Abstract: The number of conspecifics present during the juvenile stages can have profound consequences on development rates and adult body size, traits often closely related to fitness. Conspecifics can have direct negative effects on each other… read more here.

In a relationship: sister species in mixed colonies, with a description of new Chikunia species (Theridiidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society"
DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zly083
Abstract: Group-living behaviour is rare in spiders but has evolved repeatedly, yielding several species, some showing cooperation among close kin, and others living in colonies where each female builds its own web and is territorial. The… read more here.

Intragroup competition predicts individual foraging specialisation in a group‐living mammal

DOI: 10.1111/ele.12933
Abstract: Abstract Individual foraging specialisation has important ecological implications, but its causes in group‐living species are unclear. One of the major consequences of group living is increased intragroup competition for resources. Foraging theory predicts that with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16401
Abstract: Group-living animals are often faced with complex reproductive decisions, namely how to partition within-group reproduction, how to obtain extra-group reproduction, and how these two means of reproduction should be balanced. The solutions to these questions… read more here.
