Exploring the factors underlying adaptive social plasticity in foragers using an agent-based model Open
Recent studies in group-living species suggest that being a valuable group member (a source of information or other resources) should increase social connectedness. This is because individuals may recognize and associate more with valuable…

Social plasticity across contexts in bobwhite quail Open
An animal’s social network centrality has been linked to social benefits. However, the inverse effect of providing benefits to conspecifics on one’s centrality has received less attention. We investigated effects of foraging success, and a…

A comparison of low-cost behavioral observation software applications and recommendations for use Open
In the field of animal behavior and behavioral ecology, many standardized methods to observe animal behavior were established in the last decades. While the protocols remained similar, behavioral researchers can take advantage of technolog…

A comparison of common behavioral observation software applications and recommendations for use. Open
In the field of animal behavior and behavioral ecology, many standardized methods to observe animal behavior were established approximately 50 years ago. While the protocols are similar, behavioral researchers can take advantage of technol…

A framework to evaluate whether to pool or separate behaviors in a multilayer network Open
A multilayer network approach combines different network layers, which are connected by interlayer edges, to create a single mathematical object. These networks can contain a variety of information types and represent different aspects of …

Characterizing innovators: Ecological and individual predictors of problem-solving performance Open
Behavioural innovation, the use of new behaviours or existing ones in novel contexts, can have important ecological and evolutionary consequences for animals. An understanding of these consequences would be incomplete without considering t…

Examining the Predictors of Technical and Consumer Innovation in Black-Capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) Open
Behavioural innovation, the use of new behaviours or modification of existing ones in novel contexts, has been suggested to aid animals in meeting the demands of new or changing environments. Many researchers have studied intra-specific va…
