Strength of minority ties: the role of homophily and group composition in a weighted social network
José R. Nicolás-Carlock, Denis Boyer, Sandra E. Smith-Aguilar +1
Homophily describes a fundamental tie-formation mechanism in social networks in which connections between similar nodes occur at a higher rate than among dissimilar ones. In this a…
Collective learning from individual experiences and information transfer during group foraging
Andrea Falcón-Cortés, Denis Boyer, Gabriel Ramos-Fernández
Living in groups brings benefits to many animals, such as a protection against predators and an improved capacity for sensing and making decisions while searching for resources in…
Contribution of social network analysis and collective phenomena to understanding social complexity and cognition
Denis Boyer, Gabriel Ramos-Fernandez
The social brain hypothesis postulates the increasing complexity of social interactions as a driving force for the evolution of cognitive abilities. Whereas dyadic and triadic rela…
Scale-free foraging by primates emerges from their interaction with a complex environment
Denis Boyer, Gabriel Ramos-Fernández, Octavio Miramontes +5
Scale-free foraging patterns are widespread among animals. These may be the outcome of an optimal searching strategy to find scarce randomly distributed resources, but a less explo…
A complex social structure with fission-fusion properties can emerge from a simple foraging model
Gabriel Ramos-Fernández, Denis Boyer, Vian P. Gómez
Precisely how ecological factors influence animal social structure is far from clear. We explore this question using an agent-based model inspired by the fission-fusion society of…
Levy walk patterns in the foraging movements of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)
Gabriel Ramos-Fernandez, Jose Luis Mateos, Octavio Miramontes +3
Scale invariant patterns have been found in different biological systems, in many cases resembling what physicists have found in other nonbiological systems. Here we describe the f…
