When living in a group, individuals have to make trade‐offs, and compromise, in order to
balance the advantages and disadvantages of group life. Strategies that enable individuals …

An enormous amount of work has been done on aging in Drosophila melanogaster, a
classical genetic and molecular model system, but also in numerous other insects. However …

The scientific study of networks-computer, social, and biological-has received an enormous
amount of interest in recent years. However, the network approach has been applied to the …

Social networks describe the pattern of intraspecific interactions within a population. An
individual's position in a social network often is expected to influence its fitness, but only a …

Sexual selection is traditionally measured at the population level, assuming that populations
lack structure. However, increasing evidence undermines this approach, indicating that …

Social networks encompass both individual and group phenotypes that have been shown to
covary with fitness in several species. In order for network characters to be evolutionarily …

Social interactions often have major fitness consequences, but little is known about how
specific interacting phenotypes affect the strength of natural selection. Social influences on …

Heterogeneity of host behaviour can play an important role in the spread of parasites and
pathogens around wildlife populations. Social networks have previously been suggested to …

Background Indirect interactions between individual solitary mammals, such as the giant
panda, are often overlooked because of their nature, yet are important for maintaining the …

Home range size (HRS) is the fundamental measure of space use by animals. Despite the
importance of the home range concept, there is no consensus on how to estimate the HRS …
