TL;DR: Wild octopuses (Octopus tetricus) are reported living at high density at a rock outcrop, the second such site known, and behavior at this second site confirms that complex social interactions also occur in association with natural substrate, and suggests that social interactions are more wide spread among octopus than previously recognized.

TL;DR: It is shown that continuous aerial surveillance can provide a measurable reduction in risk from sharks, improving beach safety and facilitating coexistence between people and wildlife.

TL;DR: It is suggested that benefits of philopatry with regards to habitat quality may underpin the formation of social groups in this genus Gobiodon, and Coral sizes inhabited by both group- and pair-forming species decreased throughout the study, meaning that group-formingspecies were forced to occupy smaller corals on average than before cyclone activity.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the major hypotheses of cooperative breeding theory, one of the dominant frameworks to examine social evolution, and highlights the potential benefits that a combined methodological approach and a broader application could provide to the study of sociality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used boosted regression trees (BRT) to build species distribution models for a highly valued coastal teleost - pink snapper (Sparidae: Chrysophrys auratus ) across rocky reefs adjacent to Australia's most urbanised coastline.
