Publisher Synopsis
[F]or those curious about how social network analyses might at some future point contribute to a better understanding of complex behavioral interactions among group (however broadly defined) members, Animal Social Networks is a valuable resource. * Harold Gouzoules, Integrative and Comparative Biology * [A] timely textbook that carefully elucidates the value of the novel approaches currently available to scholars of animal behavior ... This exciting new volume [is] helping to illuminate the bright and richly deserved role of networks in revealing insights about fundamental biological processes. * Jennifer E. Smith, Quarterly Review of Biology * Served by an excellent use of various helpful illustrations (matrices, diagrams, flowcharts, and actual social networks) and a few formulas of mathematical models, this thorough reference book will resonate well with a broad readership, including ethologists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists. ... Essential. * CHOICE * Read more...
