Comparative Social Network Ecology

Comparative social network ecology (CSNE) is a rapidly growing area of research that aims to understand the drivers of interspecific variation in social structure and their downstream effects on phenomena such as cultural transmission, disease spread, evolution, and a species' resilience. The ASNR is an invaluable tool in this field because of the volume of its data, its taxonomic diversity, and its wide variety of behavioral interactions.
