Drivers of Variation in the Optimal Spatial Structure of Collective Information Gatherers
R. S. Walker, G. Ramos-Fernandez, D. Boyer +3
Collective systems that self-organise to maximise the group's ability to collect and distribute information can be successful in environments with high spatial and temporal variati…
Uncovering complementary information sharing in spider monkey collective foraging using higher-order spatial networks
Gabriel Ramos-Fernandez, Ross S. Walker, Matthew J. Silk +2
Collectives are often able to process information in a distributed fashion, surpassing each individual member's processing capacity. In fission-fusion dynamics, where group members…
Not your private tête-à-tête: leveraging the power of higher-order networks to study animal communication
Iacopo Iacopini, Jennifer R Foote, Nina H Fefferman +2
Animal communication is frequently studied with conventional network representations that link pairs of individuals who interact, for example, through vocalisation. However, acoust…
Diversity in Valuing Social Contact and Risk Tolerance Lead to the Emergence of Homophily in Populations Facing Infectious Threats
Matthew J. Young, Matthew J. Silk, Alex J. Pritchard +1
How self-organization leads to the emergence of structure in social populations remains a fascinating and open question in the study of complex systems. One frequently observed str…
A guide to choosing and implementing reference models for social network analysis
Elizabeth A. Hobson, Matthew J. Silk, Nina H. Fefferman +4
Analyzing social networks is challenging. Key features of relational data require the use of non-standard statistical methods such as developing system-specific null, or reference,…
The use of multilayer network analysis in animal behaviour
Kelly R. Finn, Matthew J. Silk, Mason A. Porter +1
Network analysis has driven key developments in research on animal behaviour by providing quantitative methods to study the social structures of animal groups and populations. A re…
The perceived assortativity of social networks: Methodological problems and solutions
David N Fisher, Matthew J Silk, Daniel W Franks
Networks describe a range of social, biological and technical phenomena. An important property of a network is its degree correlation or assortativity, describing how nodes in the…
