DOI: 10.1007/s00265-018-2604-5
Abstract: We argue that the study of social complexity can follow two different approaches, based on how it is seen from the outside or on how it is experienced from within. Recent focus has been on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-018-2611-6
Abstract: Pastoralists rely on networks of cooperating households containing relatives and others to help with production and various other daily activities. To understand how socioecological differences and commonalities affect different social networks, we compared cooperative decision-making… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.230740
Abstract: Social competence—defined as the ability to optimize social behaviour according to available social information—can be influenced by the social environment experienced in early life. In cooperatively breeding vertebrates, the current group size influences behavioural phenotypes,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13407
Abstract: To make adaptive behavioural decisions, animals must acquire and process information from their natural and social environment. Reducing uncertainty regarding the actions and goals of conspecifics is especially important for group‐living animals. Bats are often… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/08982643221108020
Abstract: Objectives: Olfaction is an important correlate of later-life health, including cognition and mortality risk. Environmental enrichment protects against olfactory decline, yet little research considers the social context as a source of sensory enrichment or stimulation.… read more here.
