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

A framework to classify error in animal-borne technologies
TL;DR: A classification scheme to synthesize error across technologies is proposed, discussing basic physical properties used by a technology to collect data, conversion of raw data into useful variables, and subjectivity in the parameters chosen.
