TLDR
An antithesis to the view that gregarious behaviour is evolved through benefits to the population or species is presented, and simply defined models are used to show that even in non-gregarious species selection is likely to favour individuals who stay close to others.About:

Behavioral synchrony in ibex groups: effects of age, sex and habitat
TL;DR: Synchrony of activities is usually high in foraging groups, possibly to maintain group cohesion, but individuals with different levels of activity budgets may have a hard time synchronizing their behavior to each other without incurring a cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual behavior and survival: the roles of predator avoidance, foraging success, and vigilance
TL;DR: It was found that reducing exposure to attack was most important for increasing survival and that increased vigilance and foraging success rate only increased survival for individuals that spent more time in high-risk areas, suggesting that variation in starvation risk may provide a mechanism for selection on "capture-reducing" antipredation behaviors to be maintained.

Social reward monitoring and valuation in the macaque brain

TL;DR: Applying a social Pavlovian conditioning procedure for macaques shows that medial prefrontal neurons selectively monitor self-reward or other-reWARD information and that dopamine neurons integrate this information into subjective value, delineate a dedicated pathway for subjective reward evaluation in social environments.

Advances in Applied Self-organizing Systems
TL;DR: This book presents state-of-the-practice of successfully engineeredSelf-organizing systems, and examines ways to balance design and self-organization in the context of applications, and proposes algorithms proposed and discussed that are biologically inspired.

The Effect of Prey Density on Predators: Conspicuousness and Attack Success Are Sensitive to Spatial Scale
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increasing the density of Daphnia magna swarms increases conspicuousness to a natural predator, the three‐spined stickleback, providing a perceptual basis for the importance of spatial scale in density‐dependent processes.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour
TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
