DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.06.006
Abstract: In group living animals, affiliative social interactions maintain cohesion between individuals. Involvement in these interactions is likely to differ between individuals, depending on their sex, age and life history stages. Here we investigated different social… read more here.
