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

TL;DR: Sensors data yield moreover a reliable social network already over short timescales and can be used for long term campaigns, showing their important potential for detailed studies of the evolution of animal social groups.

Combining epidemiological and ecological methods to quantify social effects on Escherichia coli transmission.
TL;DR: In this article, sociobehavioural variables alone were ultimately poor predictors of E. coli colonization in feedlot cattle, but can have significant effects on colonization hazard rates (p ≤ 0.05).

Rhythm of relationships in a social fish over the course of a full year in the wild
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore the rhythms of social interactions in a social fish population at various time-scales over one full year in the wild by examining high-resolution snapshots of dynamic social network.
Classification of Animal Behaviors in Videos Based on Automatically
TL;DR: This work introduces a novel deep learning toolset which clusters segments into groups according to the similarity of kinematic body keypoints and then employs active learning approach which refines the clusters and classifies them into behavioral states.
