Optimal Social Group Size in Spotted Hyaenas (Crocuta crocuta): Insights into a Multilevel Society

This study examines social group size in spotted hyaenas, finding that clan sizes follow a fractal pattern and that female alliances help mitigate infertility-related constraints.

Fractal Structure of Human and Primate Social Networks Optimizes Information Flow

The paper shows that primate and human social networks have a fractal structure with specific group sizes that optimize information flow through self-organization and collective intelligence.

Structural and Cognitive Solutions to Prevent Group Fragmentation in Group-Living Species

The paper analyzes grooming networks in primates to show how large, stable groups manage social stresses through bonding behaviors and cognitive skills.

High-resolution 3D imaging and topological mapping of the lymph node conduit system

This study maps the 3D topology of the lymph node conduit system in mice using high-resolution imaging, revealing differences in conduit density between T cell zones and their implications for T cell dynamics.
