Investigating individual preferences using Social Network Analysis (SNA) has contributed to
understanding group formations, which hold significant evolutionary value, and the …

Individuals can play different roles in maintaining connectivity and social cohesion in animal
populations and thereby influence population robustness to perturbations. We performed a …

behavioral attributes, significant knowledge gaps remain across traits and taxa. For …

Marine predators such as sharks often form single-sex aggregations as part of their diel
behavioral cycle. Such aggregations are potentially driven by contrasting reproductive and …

Large, solitary, marine predators such as sharks have been observed to aggregate at
specific areas. Such aggregations are almost certainly driven by foraging and behavioural …

To adapt to their environment, organisms can either directly interact with their surroundings
or use social information (ie information provided by neighbouring individuals). Social …

White sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) are circumglobally distributed large apex predators.
While ecologically important, there is very limited study of their social behaviour. Although …

Animal social networks can be extremely complex and are characterized by highly non-
random interactions between group members. However, very little is known about the …

Group living in animals is a well-studied phenomenon, having been documented
