rays.•Social affiliations were assorted into spatial communities.•Social structuring persisted …

Many terrestrial and aquatic taxa are known to form periodic aggregations, whether across
life history or solely during specific life stages, that are generally governed by the availability …

Groups or aggregations of animals can result from individuals being attracted to a common
resource or because of synchronised patterns of daily or seasonal activity. Although mostly …

Advances in data‐logging technologies have provided a way to monitor the movement of
individual animals at unprecedented spatial and temporal scales. When used in conjunction …
