Effective leadership and decision-making in animal groups on the move

TL;DR: It is revealed that the larger the group the smaller the proportion of informed individuals needed to guide the group, and that only a very small proportion ofinformed individuals is required to achieve great accuracy.

Statistical Analysis of Circular Data

TL;DR: This book presents a meta-modelling framework for analysing two or more samples of unimodal data from von Mises distributions, and some modern Statistical Techniques for Testing and Estimation used in this study.

Comparing isotopic niche widths among and within communities: SIBER - Stable Isotope Bayesian Ellipses in R.

TL;DR: The ellipses are unbiased with respect to sample size, and their estimation via Bayesian inference allows robust comparison to be made among data sets comprising different sample sizes, which opens up more avenues for direct comparison of isotopic niches across communities.
