Social network structure plays a key role in shaping processes animal populations. These networks often show distinct patterns humans and other large mammals, with relationship strengths organized into different tiers. Here, we used continuous, fine-scale tracking of four captive colonies zebra finches (_Taeniopygia guttata_), revealing that consistently have 1-2 closest contacts, 6-7 close 22-24 strong contacts. The identities these contacts remain stable across days, maintained by spatial affinity while are social choice. results suggest egocentric made up consistent, differentiated relationships forming multitiered structure. similarities to species fundamental principles, such as limitations time the ability move through space, could drive common structural properties networks.

Multi-level vertebrate societies, characterized by nested social units, allow individuals to perform a wide range of tasks in cooperation with others beyond their core unit. In these can selectively interact specific partners from higher levels cooperatively distinct tasks. Alternatively, units the same level merge form higher-level associations, enabling benefit large without always maintaining The reasons why multi-level sociality evolves some systems but not are well understood. We propose that this is partly due lack data, especially regarding fitness consequences at different levels.

Cooperation may emerge from intrinsic factors such as social structure and extrinsic environmental conditions. Although these might reinforce or counteract each other, their interaction remains unexplored in animal populations. Studies on multilevel societies suggest a link between structure, conditions individual investment cooperative behaviours. These exhibit flexible configurations, with stable groups that overlap associate hierarchically. Structure can be seasonal, upper-level units appearing only during specific seasons, lower-level persisting year-round. This offers an opportunity to investigate how cooperation relates Here, we study the seasonal society of superb fairy-wrens ( Malurus cyaneus ), observing responses experimental playback conspecific distress calls. Individuals engaged more helping behaviour less aggressive/territorial song harsher non-breeding season compared breeding season. The increase was greater for group members than same community, upper unit, comprised distinct association. Results drives switch cooperation, supporting hypothesis harsh

Abstract In various animal species conspecifics aggregate at sleeping sites. Such aggregations can act as information centres where individuals acquire up‐to‐date knowledge about their environment. some species, communal sites comprise from multiple groups, each group maintains stable membership over time. We used GPS tracking to simultaneously record movement in a population of wild vulturine guineafowl ( Acryllium vulturinum ) investigate whether facilitate the transfer among across distinct groups. These birds live large and groups that move both together apart, often forming roosts containing up five first test provide opportunity for members other by examining spatial organization roosts. The data reveal intermix, thereby providing an out‐group information. next conduct field experiment naïve locate novel food patches when co‐roosting with knowledgeable find substantially increases chances discover patch known shared roost.

Abstract Cues to individuality, and the corresponding capacity for individual-level discrimination, can allow individually specific investment by conspecifics into offspring, partners, neighbors or competitors. Here we investigated possible cues individuality via faces in an ancient avian lineage, Greylag Goose ( Anser anser ). Konrad Lorenz could famously name each ‘his’ flock from a photograph. Confirming this anecdotal observation, developed facial recognition software that reliably (~ 97% accuracy) assign goose face ID within database, using bill morphology normalized during photo preparation. To explore conspecific detection of cues, erected life-size photos geese measured subjects’ responses themselves (unfamiliar goose), their partner, another mate. Geese displayed significantly greater affiliative response providing evidence use two-dimensional images as determine social category (partner/non-partner) and/or recognition. Our methods provide novel approaches automatically detect monitor test cognition. approach may also create new opportunities species monitoring more generally photographic citizen-science engagement.
