Using contact networks to explore mechanisms of parasite transmission in wildlife
ABSTRACT A hallmark assumption of traditional approaches to disease modelling is that
individuals within a given population mix uniformly and at random. However, this …

Socially interacting or indifferent neighbours? Randomization of movement paths to tease apart social preference and spatial constraints
Understanding how animals interact with their physical and social environment is a major
question in ecology, but separating between these factors is often challenging. Observed …

A guide to sampling design for GPS‐based studies of animal societies
GPS‐based tracking is widely used for studying wild social animals. Much like traditional
observational methods, using GPS devices requires making a number of decisions about …

Dynamic, spatial models of parasite transmission in wildlife: Their structure, applications and remaining challenges
Individual differences in contact rate can arise from host, group and landscape
heterogeneity and can result in different patterns of spatial spread for diseases in wildlife …

Emergent social structure is typically not associated with survival in a facultatively social mammal
CS Philson, DT Blumstein - Biology letters, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
For social animals, group social structure has important consequences for disease and
information spread. While prior studies showed individual connectedness within a group has …

Communication in animal social networks: a missing link?
L Snijders, M Naguib - Advances in the Study of Behavior, 2017 - Elsevier
Social interactions are central in the lives of many animals. Social partners can lower
individual stress levels (Rault, 2012), a process known in humans and primates as social …

Social network properties predict chronic aggression in commercial pig systems
Post-mixing aggression in pigs is a harmful and costly behaviour which negatively impacts
both animal welfare and farm efficiency. There is vast unexplained variation in the amount of …
