Social structure and spatial distribution of bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) along the Croatian Adriatic coast
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3213
Abstract: Previous studies suggest that the common bottlenose dolphin population in the Croatian Adriatic Sea is structured into distinct local communities. However, their home ranges and levels of interaction remain unknown. Dedicated boat‐based surveys were conducted… read more here.

House mouse subspecies do differ in their social structure

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9683
Abstract: Abstract It is widely acknowledged that population structure can have a substantial impact on evolutionary trajectories. In social animals, this structure is strongly influenced by relationships among the population members, so studies of differences in… read more here.

The role of habitat configuration in shaping social structure: a gap in studies of animal social complexity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00265-018-2602-7
Abstract: Animal societies are shaped both by social processes and by the physical environment in which social interactions take place. While many studies take the observed patterns of inter-individual interactions as products and proxies of pure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10329-018-0686-3
Abstract: Network analysis has increasingly expanded our understanding of social structure in primates and other animal species. However, most studies use networks representing only one interaction type, when social relationships (and the emerging social structure) are… read more here.

Social interaction, and not group size, predicts parasite burden in mammals

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-020-10086-6
Abstract: Although parasitism is often considered a cost of sociality, the evidence is mixed, possibly because sociality is multivariate. Here we contrast the dependence of parasitism costs on major social variables such as group size and… read more here.

Hanging out in tents: social structure, group stability, male behavior, and their implications for the mating system of Ectophylla alba (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-018-0383-z
Abstract: Bats show the greatest variety of mating strategies in mammals. Social structure can be influenced by roost characteristics, for example, if the roost is defendable and its availability limited, it becomes an important resource that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.09.064
Abstract: While present-day taxa are valuable proxies for understanding the biology of extinct species, it is also crucial to examine physical remains in order to obtain a more comprehensive view of their behavior, social structure, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.10.024
Abstract: Social bonds, maintained by mutual investments of time and energy, have greatly influenced the evolution of social cognition and cooperation in many species [e.g., 1-8]. However, there are two pitfalls regarding "social bonds" as an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbusvent.2018.12.001
Abstract: Abstract This paper highlights the venture capital investor (VC) portfolios of startups, and explores how the portfolios evolve. We emphasize the important trade-off between broadening and reinforcing VC portfolios (i.e., expanding to new VCs versus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhevol.2018.10.011
Abstract: In mobile social groups, cohesion is thought to be driven by patterns of attraction at both the individual and group level. In long-lived species with high group stability and repeated interactions, such as baboons, individual-to-individual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmp.2020.102384
Abstract: Abstract The validity of survey-based reports of social relationships is a critical assumption for much social network research. Research on informant accuracy has shown that observational data and recalled behavior by informants are imperfectly correlated,… read more here.
