*Very* excited to see the last study of my PhD making the cover of Science Magazine on the macaques of Caribbean Primate Research Center. We show that ecological disturbances can alter selective pressures on social ties leading to persistent societal changes. shorturl.at/i2WIB 🧵👇

Species are on the move due to #climatechange, altering the overlap between predators and their prey. Our new paper in NatureEcoEvo presents a unifying theory for this spatial match-mismatch and its ecological consequences. Read it here: rdcu.be/dLISL

We recently preprinted our meta-analysis of spatial and social behaviour in wild animal systems! Have a read if you're interested in density dependence, disease transmission, network scaling and structuring, or comparative behavioural work: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… (1/4)

There are far too many extremely generous data contributors for me to comfortably tag, but it's been an amazing experience working with so many different systems (34 populations covering 28 animal species) looking to draw out some meaningful patterns. (2/4)

There's loads to unpack from the analysis, but broadly we find strong and pervasive evidence for density-dependent structuring. These patterns are nonlinear and saturating, and they tend to be stronger for spatial than social networks. (3/4)
