Evidence of social communities in a spatially structured network of a free-ranging shark species
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 …

The structure of a bottlenose dolphin society is coupled to a unique foraging cooperation with artisanal fishermen
Diverse and localized foraging behaviours have been reported in isolated populations of
many animal species around the world. In Laguna, southern Brazil, a subset of resident …

Dolphins restructure social system after reduction of commercial fisheries
Although human activities are known to affect the social behaviour of group-living animals,
the resilience of animals' social structure to disturbance is poorly understood. In the 1990s …

Disentangling social networks from spatiotemporal dynamics: the temporal structure of a dolphin society
Social networks are static illustrations of dynamic societies, within which social interactions
are constantly changing. Fundamental sources of variation include ranging behaviour and …

Complex patterns of male alliance formation in a dolphin social network
The formation and maintenance of alliances is regarded as one of the most socially complex
male mating strategies in mammals. The prevalence and complexity of these cooperative …
