We present a selective review of statistical modeling of dynamic networks. We focus on
models with latent variables, specifically, the latent space models and the latent class …

Statistical node clustering in discrete time dynamic networks is an emerging field that raises
many challenges. Here, we explore statistical properties and frequentist inference in a …

Demographic processes play a key role in sha** the patterns of social relations among
individuals in a population. Social network analysis is a powerful quantitative tool for …

While direct influences of the environment on population growth and resilience are well
studied, indirect routes linking environmental changes to population consequences are less …

The disease costs of sociality have largely been understood through the link between group
size and transmission. However, infectious disease spread is driven primarily by the social …

Dominance hierarchies typically emerge in systems where group members regularly
encounter and compete for resources. In birds, the 'open'and dynamic structure of foraging …

A network is a typical expressive form of representing complex systems in terms of vertices
and links, in which the pattern of interactions amongst components of the network is intricate …

Dominance hierarchies are expected to form in response to socioecological pressures and
competitive regimes. We assess dominance relationships among free-ranging female Asian …
