Taking identity-by-descent analysis into the wild: Estimating realized relatedness in free-ranging macaques

A. Freudiger, V. M. Jovanovic, Y. Huang, N. Snyder-Mackler, D. F. Conrad, B. Miller, M. J. Montague, H. Westphal, P. F. Stadler, S. Bley, J. E. Horvath, L. J. N. Brent, M. L. Platt, A. Ruiz-Lambides, J. Tung, , A. Widdig

The paper estimates realized relatedness in free-ranging macaques using IBD analysis from low coverage whole genome data, revealing genetic variation within kin classes and cryptic relatives.

Social ageing can protect against infectious disease in a group-living primate

E. R. Siracusa, M. A. Pavez-Fox, J. E. Negron-Del Valle, D. Phillips, M. L. Platt, N. Snyder-Mackler, J. P. Higham, L. J. N. Brent, M. J. Silk

The paper examines how reduced social connectedness in older primates can mitigate infection risks from a hypothetical pathogen, showing age-related changes in social behavior affect disease dynamics.

Information gathering explains decision dynamics during human and monkey reward foraging

D. L. Barack, F. Parodi, V. Ludwig, M. L. Platt

This study models human and monkey foraging behavior to show that overharvesting is driven by information gathering, with residence times decreasing over sessions.

Ageing in a collective: The impact of ageing individuals on social network structure

E. R. Siracusa, A. S. Pereira, J. Bohr Brask, J. E. Negron-Del Valle, D. Phillips, Cayo Biobank Research Unit, M. L. Platt, J. P. Higham, N. Snyder-Mackler, L. J. N. Brent

This study examines how ageing affects social network structure in rhesus macaques using empirical data and an agent-based model, finding age-related changes in indirect connectivity but no overall network structure age distribution relationship.
