Animal societies are shaped both by social processes and by the physical environment in
which social interactions take place. While many studies take the observed patterns of inter …

ABSTRACT A hallmark assumption of traditional approaches to disease modelling is that
individuals within a given population mix uniformly and at random. However, this …

There is a global rise in anthropogenic noise and a growing awareness of its negative
effects on wildlife, but to date the consequences for wildlife diseases have received little …

Contact network analysis has become a vital tool for conceptualizing the spread of
pathogens in animal populations and is particularly useful for understanding the implications …

Infectious disease transmission often depends on the contact structure of host populations.
Although it is often challenging to capture the contact structure in wild animals, new …

Social-network dynamics have profound consequences for biological processes such as
information flow, but are notoriously difficult to measure in the wild. We used novel …

Simple Summary The inclusion of remote automatic systems that use continuous learning
technology are of great interest in precision livestock cattle farming, since the average size …

For decades, we have relied upon visual observation of animal behavior to define clinical
disease, assist in breeding selection, and predict growth performance. Limitations of visual …

Variation in extra‐pair paternity (EPP) among individuals of the same population could result
from stochastic demography or from individual differences in mating strategies. Although the …

The correct management of diseases that are transmitted between wildlife and livestock
requires a reliable estimate of the pathogen transmission rate. The calculation of this …
