Collective pooling of foraging information in animal fission-fusion dynamics

The paper studies how spider monkeys pool foraging information in fission-fusion dynamics, finding high redundancy and structured transmission of unique information.

Levy movements and a slowly decaying memory allow efficient collective learning in groups of interacting foragers

The paper uses an agent-based model to show that Levy flights with slow memory decay enhance collective learning in foraging groups, leading to efficient resource exploitation.

Flexible use of contact calls in a species with high fission-fusion dynamics

This study examines how contact call rates in spider monkeys vary with social context, finding higher rates during fission-fusion events and specific audience characteristics.

Multiple resource use strategies confer resilience to the socio-ecosystem in a protected area in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

The paper builds a computational model to study how resource use strategies affect biodiversity conservation and household resilience in a Mexican protected area.
