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

Revealing mechanisms of infectious disease transmission through empirical contact networks
TL;DR: A novel tool, INoDS (Identifying Network models of infectious Disease Spread) that estimates the predictive power of empirical contact networks to explain observed patterns of infectious disease spread, and is robust to partially sampled contact networks, incomplete disease information, and enables hypothesis testing on transmission mechanisms.

Sparse movement data can reveal social influences on individual travel decisions
TL;DR: Given that sparse movement data is informative about individual movement behaviour, it is suggested that both high (~seconds) and relatively low (~minutes) resolution datasets are valuable for the study of how individuals react to and manipulate their local social and ecological environments.

Airborne vs. radio-transmitted vocalizations in two primates: a technical report
TL;DR: It is shown that vocal telemetry allows reliable separation of the subjects’ voices during production of joint vocalizations, which has great potential for future applications of this technique with free-ranging animals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the plumage of female tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) was manipulated to decouple the expression of a social signal from any pre-existing behavioral or physiological differences.
