Biological Reviews > 96 > 6 > 2661 - 2693

Social interactions are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. A variety of ecological and evolutionary processes are dependent on social interactions, such as movement, disease spread, information transmission, and density‐dependent reproduction and survival. Social interactions, like any behaviour, are context dependent, varying with environmental conditions. Currently, environments are changing...

Transitivity and structural balance in marmot social networks

Tina W. Wey, Ferenc Jordán, Daniel T. Blumstein

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology > 2019 > 73 > 6 > 1-13

Social relationships are composed of both positive (affiliative) and negative (agonistic) interactions, representing opposing effects. Social network theory predicts that positive relationships should be transitive; thus, the friend of a friend is more likely to be a friend. Further, when considering both positive and negative relationships jointly, structural balance theory predicts that certain...

Mating system as a possible driver of behavioral diversity in Peromyscus

Tina W. Wey, Paul B. Vrana, Karen E. Mabry

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology > 2017 > 71 > 11 > 1-13

Identifying mechanisms underlying behavioral variation is important for understanding ecological and evolutionary processes. Comparative studies can help test hypotheses about the adaptive value of behaviors. Pace of life history and mating systems are broad factors hypothesized to drive species differences in behaviors. We tested these hypotheses using several Peromyscus species from lab stocks that...

Correlational selection on personality and social plasticity: morphology and social context determine behavioural effects on mating success

Pierre‐Olivier Montiglio, Tina W. Wey, Ann T. Chang, Sean Fogarty, more

Journal of Animal Ecology > 86 > 2 > 213 - 226

Despite a central line of research aimed at quantifying relationships between mating success and sexually dimorphic traits (e.g., ornaments), individual variation in sexually selected traits often explains only a modest portion of the variation in mating success. Another line of research suggests that a significant portion of the variation in mating success observed in animal populations could...

Current directions in animal social networks

Darren P Croft, Safi K Darden, Tina W Wey

Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences > 2016 > 12 > C > 52-58

A social network approach provides a framework to study the link between individual behaviour and population-level patterns and processes. Studies have demonstrated how animal social network structure can be influenced by factors ranging from characteristics of the environment to characteristics of the individual, such as developmental experience and personality. At the level of the individual, the...

Assessing the sensitivity of foraging and vigilance to internal state and environmental variables in yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris)

Helen E. Chmura, Tina W. Wey, Daniel T. Blumstein

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology > 2016 > 70 > 11 > 1901-1910

Both internal and environmental factors influence the trade-offs animals make between foraging and antipredator vigilance. However, few studies examine both internal and environmental factors simultaneously, preventing us from drawing inferences about their relative importance during foraging. We capitalized on a long-term study of yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris) to compare the relative...

Inter‐annual patterns of aggression and pair bonding in captive American flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber)

Nathan B. Frumkin, Tina W. Wey, Megan Exnicios, Caroline Benham, more

Zoo Biology > 35 > 2 > 111 - 119

Because zoos typically house animals for extended periods of time, longitudinal studies can play an important role in evaluating and optimizing animal care and management. For example, information on patterns of aggression and mating behavior across years can be used to monitor well‐being, assess response to changes to group composition, and promote successful reproduction. Here, we report on patterns...

Environment modulates population social structure: experimental evidence from replicated social networks of wild lizards

Stephan T. Leu, Damien R. Farine, Tina W. Wey, Andrew Sih, more

Animal Behaviour > 2016 > 111 > C > 23-31

Social structure is a fundamental component of a population that drives ecological and evolutionary processes ranging from parasite transmission to sexual selection. Nevertheless, we have much to learn about factors that explain variation in social structure. We used advances in biologging and social network analysis to experimentally test how the local habitat, and specifically habitat complexity,...

Multiple mating reveals complex patterns of assortative mating by personality and body size

Pierre‐Olivier Montiglio, Tina W. Wey, Ann T. Chang, Sean Fogarty, more

Journal of Animal Ecology > 85 > 1 > 125 - 135

Understanding patterns of non‐random mating is central to predicting the consequences of sexual selection. Most studies quantifying assortative mating focus on testing for correlations among partners' phenotypes in mated pairs. Few studies have distinguished between assortative mating arising from preferences for similar partners (expressed by all or a subset of the population) vs. from phenotypic...

Stress hormone metabolites predict overwinter survival in yellow-bellied marmots

Tina W. Wey, Lawrence Lin, Marilyn L. Patton, Daniel T. Blumstein

acta ethologica > 2015 > 18 > 2 > 181-185

Biological assays of stress, in particular noninvasive measures, are valuable tools for wildlife management. Chronic stress can have negative impacts on fitness outcomes, and an area of particular interest is if elevated baseline stress levels are predictive of survival outcomes. We examined the relationship between fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGMs) measured from samples collected during routine...

Personalities and presence of hyperaggressive males influence male mating exclusivity and effective mating in stream water striders

Tina W. Wey, Ann T. Chang, Sean Fogarty, Andrew Sih

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology > 2015 > 69 > 1 > 27-37

Male expected reproductive success can be enhanced by increased mating success (mate number) or, when females can mate multiply, by increased mating exclusivity (i.e., reduced partner promiscuity). A positive or negative covariance between these two mating outcomes could substantially increase or decrease overall variation in male expected reproductive success, yet the relationship between these mating...

Effects of behavioural type, social skill and the social environment on male mating success in water striders

Andrew Sih, Ann T. Chang, Tina W. Wey

Animal Behaviour > 2014 > 94 > Complete > 9-17

We examined the relative importance of individual differences in personality (activity and aggressiveness), social skill and the social environment (average activity and aggressiveness of the group, presence of hyperaggressive males) in determining the behaviour and mating success of males of the stream water strider, Aquarius remigis. Males that had a consistently more active–aggressive behavioural...

Patterns of aggression among captive american flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber)

Mitchell G. Hinton, Annie Bendelow, Samantha Lantz, Tina W. Wey, more

Zoo Biology > 32 > 4 > 445 - 453

Many species of flamingo are endangered in the wild but common in zoos, where successful captive breeding programs are a management priority. Unlike their counterparts in the wild, captive flamingo individuals are easy to mark and follow, facilitating longitudinal data collection on social dynamics that may affect reproduction. We studied a captive group of American Flamingos at the Audubon Zoo in...

Reproductive correlates of social network variation in plurally breeding degus (Octodon degus)

Tina W. Wey, Joseph R. Burger, Luis A. Ebensperger, Loren D. Hayes

Animal Behaviour > 2013 > 85 > 6 > 1407-1414

Studying the causes and reproductive consequences of social variation can provide insight into the evolutionary basis of sociality. Individuals are expected to behave adaptively to maximize reproductive success, but reproductive outcomes can also depend on group structure. Degus (Octodon degus) are plurally breeding rodents, in which females allonurse indiscriminately. However, communal rearing does...

Social attributes and associated performance measures in marmots: bigger male bullies and weakly affiliating females have higher annual reproductive success

Tina W. Wey, Daniel T. Blumstein

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology > 2012 > 66 > 7 > 1075-1085

Studying the structure of social interactions is fundamental in behavioral ecology as social behavior often influences fitness and thus natural selection. However, social structure is often complex, and determining the most appropriate measures of variation in social behavior among individuals can be difficult. Social network analysis generates numerous, but often correlated, measures of individual...

Correlates and Consequences of Dominance in a Social Rodent

Brian Huang, Tina W. Wey, Daniel T. Blumstein

Ethology > 117 > 7 > 573 - 585

In harem‐polygynous societies, body condition is often correlated with dominance rank. However, the consequences of dominance are less clear. High‐ranking males do not inevitably have the highest reproductive success, especially in systems where females mate with multiple males. In such societies, we expect male reproductive success to be more highly skewed than female reproductive success, but reproductive...

Social cohesion in yellow-bellied marmots is established through age and kin structuring

Tina W. Wey, Daniel T. Blumstein

Animal Behaviour > 2010 > 79 > 6 > 1343-1352

Individual characteristics and choices can influence social structure in animal groups. Social behaviour is likely to change throughout an individual’s life, resulting in different social roles at different ages. Individuals may also choose to interact differently with others based on their age, sex or kinship. We used social network analysis to examine biological correlates of individual social variation...
