The role of habitat configuration in shaping social structure: a gap in studies of animal social complexity
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 …

Association patterns of African elephants in all-male groups: the role of age and genetic relatedness
Strong social bonds are uncommon among male mammals. In many mammals, however,
males form all-male groups, providing opportunities for male–male bonds to emerge. We …
