TLDR
Important issues concerning the collection of data on the social dynamics of almost entire populations of individuals, and their processing and analysis, are reviewed to identify the most promising approaches in the emerging field of 'reality mining'.Abstract:
The increasing miniaturisation of animal-tracking technology has made it possible to gather exceptionally detailed machine-sensed data on the social dynamics of almost entire populations of individuals, in both terrestrial and aquatic study systems. Here, we review important issues concerning the collection of such data, and their processing and analysis, to identify the most promising approaches in the emerging field of 'reality mining'. Automated technologies can provide data sensing at time intervals small enough to close the gap between social patterns and their underlying processes, providing insights into how social structures arise and change dynamically over different timescales. Especially in conjunction with experimental manipulations, reality mining promises significant advances in basic and applied research on animal social systems.read more

Encountering a bait is necessary but insufficient to explain individual variability in vulnerability to angling in two freshwater benthivorous fish in the wild.
TL;DR: Fishing-induced selection on encounter-based behaviours in recreational angling for benthivorous fish in the wild appears unlikely and the data cumulatively suggest that fine-scale behaviours after encountering a bait may be ultimately decisive for determining vulnerability to angling in benthovorous fish.

Consistent size-independent harvest selection on fish body shape in two recreationally exploited marine species.
TL;DR: It is shown that individuals with larger-sized mouths and more streamlined and elongated bodies were more vulnerable to passively operated hook-and-line fishing independent of the individual's body size or condition.

TL;DR: The BATS project includes a lightweight sensor node that is attached to bats and combines multiple features that allows tracking of bat encounters, and implemented a long-range telemetry system to still receive sensor data outside the standard ground node network.

A multi-species repository of social networks.
TL;DR: The ASNR is introduced, as the first multi-taxonomic repository that collates 790 social networks from more than 45 species, including those of mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, and insects, into a consistent and easy-to-use network data format.

Split between two worlds: automated sensing reveals links between above- and belowground social networks in a free-living mammal

TL;DR: A novel, automated-monitoring system is developed to study the effects of personality, life-history stage and sex on the social network structure of a facultatively social mammal, the California ground squirrel in two distinct contexts: aboveground where space is relatively open and belowground where it is relatively constrained by burrow architecture.
