TLDR
It is proposed the segregation of communities resulted from individual adaptation to local environmental conditions, facilitated by individual variability in association preferences, and the disparity in association patterns between communities may have resulted from a combination of ecological, population density, kinship and anthropogenic factors.About:

Evidence of social communities in a spatially structured network of a free-ranging shark species
TL;DR: The observed grouping patterns not only resulted from passive aggregations for specific resources, but rather the communities developed from an active choice of individuals as a sign of sociability, suggesting that a stable grouping strategy may confer substantial benefits in this marine predator.

The importance of fission–fusion social group dynamics in birds
TL;DR: Investigating the interaction between social structure and environmental covariates can promote a deeper understanding of the evolution of social behaviour and the adaptive value of group living, as well as having important consequences for applied research.

Dolphins restructure social system after reduction of commercial fisheries
TL;DR: Comparisons of patterns of sociality among bottlenose dolphins in Moreton Bay across two periods suggest that their social structure represents a complex adaptive system that is resilient to disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of a bottlenose dolphin society is coupled to a unique foraging cooperation with artisanal fishermen
TL;DR: The segregation of dolphins using different foraging tactics could result from foraging behaviour driving social structure, while the closer association between dolphins engaged in the cooperation could facilitate the transmission and learning of this behavioural trait from conspecifics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predation risk shapes social networks in fission-fusion populations
TL;DR: It is suggested that predation risk influences the fine-scale social structure of prey populations and that the temporal aspects of organisation play a key role in defining social systems.

The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour. I
TL;DR: A genetical mathematical model is described which allows for interactions between relatives on one another's fitness and a quantity is found which incorporates the maximizing property of Darwinian fitness, named “inclusive fitness”.

Modularity and community structure in networks
TL;DR: In this article, the modularity of a network is expressed in terms of the eigenvectors of a characteristic matrix for the network, which is then used for community detection.

Complex networks: Structure and dynamics
TL;DR: The major concepts and results recently achieved in the study of the structure and dynamics of complex networks are reviewed, and the relevant applications of these ideas in many different disciplines are summarized, ranging from nonlinear science to biology, from statistical mechanics to medicine and engineering.
