Social cohesion in yellow-bellied marmots is established through age and kin structuring (2010, neutral): “The quality of long-term affiliative bonds, which promote social cohesion, can also determine lifetime reproductive success (Connor et al. 2001; Payne 2003; Silk 2007; Silk et al. 2009).”
Where Next? Group Coordination and Collective Decision Making by Primates (2011, background): “In combination, following the decisions of central leaders can therefore result in both fast and accurate collective decisions, and one could envisage a scenario whereby social relationships could be reinforced, and thus selected, for optimizing collective decisions, in addition to the other fitness”
Network structure is related to social conflict in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, background): “2006), which will in turn influence individual fitness (e.g. Ryder et al. 2008; Silk et al. 2009; Oh & Badyaev 2010).”
Social personality traits in chimpanzees: temporal stability and structure of behaviourally assessed personality traits in three captive populations (2011, neutral): “…of behaviours, from tolerance to presence of an unfamiliar conspecific (lizards: Cote and Clobert 2007) to tendency to actively seek proximity with others (guppies: Budaev 1997) and to form close bonds with frequent interactions across contexts and over years (baboons, Papio sp.: Silk et al. 2009).”
Dispersal, philopatry, and the role of fission‐fusion dynamics in bottlenose dolphins (2013, background): “Female dolphins may also benefit from remaining in an area with familiar natal associates, especially with matrilineal kin (e.g., baboons, Papio cynocephalus: Silk et al. 2003, 2009).”
Sociality increases juvenile survival after a catastrophic event in the feral horse (Equus caballus) (2015, neutral): “Less gregarious individuals will typically form fewer associations regardless of their social and ecological circumstances (Cameron et al. 2009; Silk et al. 2009).”
Allostasis: a model of predictive regulation. (2012, neutral): “Finally, the studies document that the ability to maintain and manage these social connections improves the individual's longevity and reproductive success [45,46].”
A comparative network analysis of social style in macaques (2011, background): “Individuals are indeed more connected to each other in highly kin-related groups, with particular links to individuals linking matrilines, which are often the most dominant or the oldest ones (Schino 2001; Nakamichi & Shizawa 2003; Silk et al. 2003, 2009; King et al. 2008).”
