Network structure is related to social conflict in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, methodology): “Next, we used the multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure (MRQAP) in UCINET (Krackhardt 1988; Borgatti et al. 2006; see also Wey & Blumstein 2010 for a similar analysis) to regress multiple independent matrices on an observed dependent matrix.”
Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “Similarly, Wey & Blumstein (2010) found that social cohesion in a population of yellow-bellied marmots, Marmota flaviventris, was maintained through the affiliative interactions of relatives that are of similar age.”
The dynamics of animal social networks: analytical, conceptual, and theoretical advances (2014, background): “2012) and to test whether similarity in age, sex, or relatedness predicted networks of affiliative and agonistic interactions (Wey and Blumstein 2010).”
Social networks, long-term associations and age-related sociability of wild giraffes (2013, background): “…(Lusseau & Newman 2004; Williams & Lusseau 2006), the effect of juvenile sociability upon dispersal (Blumstein et al. 2009), the effect of predation risk on the strength and connectivity of social relationships (Kelley et al. 2011) and the effect of age on social cohesion (Wey & Blumstein 2010).”
