The paper uses network analysis of 37 years of social association data in Soay sheep to show that social connections affect survival, with the importance of quantity versus quality depending on overwinter weather conditions.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

The paper examines how group size and sex ratios affect injury risk in male and female rhesus macaques, finding sex-specific patterns linked to competition and aggression.

The paper introduces MacaqueNet, a standardized database of social network data from 14 macaque species, to facilitate comparative research on social relationships.

This study investigates how kinship composition affects social structure in rhesus macaques but finds no significant difference, suggesting larger sample sizes or species comparisons may be needed.
