Constructing, conducting and interpreting animal social network analysis
TL;DR: The under‐exploited potential of experimental manipulations on social networks to address research questions is highlighted, and an overview of methods for quantifying properties of nodes and networks, as well as for testing hypotheses concerning network structure and network processes are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allostasis: A model of predictive regulation
TL;DR: The premise of the standard regulatory model, "homeostasis", is flawed: the goal of regulation is not to preserve constancy of the internal milieu, Rather, it is to continually adjust the milieu to promote survival and reproduction.

The Oxytocin Receptor: From Intracellular Signaling to Behavior
Benjamin Jurek,Inga D. Neumann +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms of OXT expression and release, expression and binding of the OXTR in brain and periphery, OX TR-coupled signaling cascades, and their involvement in behavioral outcomes are discussed to assemble a comprehensive picture of the central and peripheral OXT system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Bonds Enhance Reproductive Success in Male Macaques
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied social bonds among dispersing male Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis ) to see whether males in multimale groups form differentiated social bonds and whether and how males derive fitness benefits from close bonds.

TL;DR: Using shotgun metagenomic data from wild baboons, it is found that social group membership and social network relationships predicted both the taxonomic structure of the gut microbiome and the structure of genes encoded by gut microbial species.

Social networks, host resistance, and mortality: a nine-year follow-up study of Alameda County residents
Lisa F. Berkman,S L Syme +1 more
TL;DR: The findings show that people who lacked social and community ties were more likely to die in the follow-up period than those with more extensive contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Networks and Health
TL;DR: It is concluded that the existence of social networks means that people's health is interdependent and that health and health care can transcend the individual in ways that patients, doctors, policy makers, and researchers should care about.

Social Bonds of Female Baboons Enhance Infant Survival
TL;DR: 16 years of behavioral data are presented, which demonstrate that sociality of adult females is positively associated with infant survival, an important component of variation in female lifetime fitness.
Book
Lifetime Reproduction in Birds
TL;DR: This book brings together results from most of these studies and presents much new information and many new analyses of classic data sets on the lifetime reproduction of many bird species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Isolation and Health, with an Emphasis on Underlying Mechanisms
TL;DR: While socially isolated young adults did not report more frequent everyday stressors, they rated everyday events as more intensely stressful and exhibited less efficacious repair and maintenance of physiological functioning, including slower wound healing and poorer sleep efficiency.
