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

What makes fish vulnerable to capture by hooks? A conceptual framework and a review of key determinants
Robert J. Lennox,Josep Alós,Josep Alós,Robert Arlinghaus,Robert Arlinghaus,Andrij Z. Horodysky,Thomas Klefoth,Christopher T. Monk,Steven J. Cooke +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new conceptual framework of "vulnerability" and summarized the major drivers of fish vulnerability, and concluded that fish vulnerability involves complex processes, such as an individual fish's internal state, its encounter with the gear, and the characteristics of the encountered gear.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how the choice of the extraction method and the temporal resolution parameter influence the appearance and properties of the retrieved network and suggested a modus operandi that minimises observer bias due to arbitrary parameter choice.
Journal ArticleDOI
How demographic processes shape animal social networks
TL;DR: How the structure of animal social networks is shaped by the joint effects of social behavior and turnover of individuals is summarized and how a deeper understanding of these processes can open new, exciting avenues for research is suggested.
