Sex-Selective Infanticide and Sociality in Brown Bear Populations
AbstractAn analytical review of scientific publications containing materials or discussion of the concept of sexually selective infanticide (SSI) in...

Activity Budget and Sociality of the Northern Lesser Galago, Galago senegalensis
Complex sociality in primates often is argued to have evolved after the appearance of diurnal activity. Studying the behaviour of nocturnal primates...

Sociality predicts orangutan vocal phenotype
In humans, individuals’ social setting determines which and how language is acquired. Social seclusion experiments show that sociality also guides...

Investigating the Relationship Between Sociality and Reproductive Success in Wild Female Crested Macaques, Macaca nigra
Studying the link between sociality and fitness is valuable to understand the costs and benefits of sociality. In many species, sociality is...

Evidence of sociality and group foraging in Antarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis)
Top krill predators such as the Antarctic minke whale (AMW) serve a vital role within the fragile Antarctic sea-ice ecosystem. They are an abundant...

High-resolution tracking of hyrax social interactions highlights nighttime drivers of animal sociality
Network structure is a key driver of animal fitness, pathogen transmission, information spread, and population demographics in the wild. Although a...

Investigating associations between nematode infection and three measures of sociality in Asian elephants
AbstractFrequent social interactions, proximity to conspecifics, and group density are main drivers of infections and parasite transmissions....

Cetacean Sociality, Reproduction, and Conservation
The world’s cetaceans (like most of biodiversity) are in crisis, and the need for well-informed conservation action has never been greater....

Quantifying within-group variation in sociality—covariation among metrics and patterns across primate groups and species
AbstractIt has long been recognized that the patterning of social interactions within a group can give rise to a social structure that holds very...

Influences of sociality and maternal size on reproductive strategies: trade-offs between offspring size and quantity in five Anelosimus species (Araneae, Theridiidae)
Individuals can experience accentuated disputes for resources when living with many conspecifics, even in situations in which cooperative behaviors...

Adaptive Reactions of Ancient Fossil Organisms: Likely Evolutionary Causes of Sociality Emergence
AbstractThe results of the study of stromatolites for the purposes of geology have shown the directed and irreversible nature of their evolution....

Sociality and parasite transmission
Parasites and their social hosts form many different relationships. But what kind of selection regimes are important? A look at the parameters that...

Sociality reduces the probability of eradication success of arthropod pests
Social insects are successful and globally significant invaders. Compared to ongoing suppression, eradication is seen as an ideal solution and cost...

Insect sociality plays a major role in a highly complex flower-visiting network in the neotropical savanna
Mutualistic networks between plants and their flower visitors provide information about the ecological dynamics and coevolutionary processes sha**...

Evidence of sociality in European small Carpenter bees (Ceratina)
Natural history of facultative social taxa is important for understanding the evolution of Eusociality. However, data for the social status of many...

Sociality and its Relevance in Group Hunting Mammalian Predators
What sets apart social predators from other predators is their ability to hunt together and successfully attack prey larger than themselves, defend...

Sociality in the North African small carpenter bee, Ceratina albosticta
Small carpenter bees (genus Ceratina ) are excellent taxa for studying early stages of social evolution, as they have high within and between species...
-
Resources and predation: drivers of sociality in a cyclic mesopredator
In socially flexible species, the tendency to live in groups is expected to vary through a trade-off between costs and benefits, determined by...

Intersection between parental investment, transgenerational immunity, and termite sociality in the face of disease: a theoretical approach
AbstractWe developed a novel, resource-driven theory for transgenerational immune priming (TGIP). From this theory, two models were constructed, one...
