This paper builds a model to simulate social network data and shows how changes in underlying behavioural processes affect global network metrics in animal social systems.

The paper shows wild chimpanzees increase social connectivity before risky group actions, forming broader but less dense affiliative networks.

The paper develops a kin-selection model to test whether menopause evolves through its effects on survival, fecundity, and indirect fitness benefits, supporting the 'mamas boy hypothesis'.

This study examines sex differences in pant-hoot vocalizations among wild Eastern chimpanzees, finding that females use pant-hoots less frequently and in response to others, while males show more varied patterns influenced by social and reproductive factors.

This paper introduces a Multi-Echo dMRI method to improve SNR and reduce noise bias in post-mortem diffusion MRI, validated on a chimpanzee brain.

The paper introduces a consistency measure to assess social interaction predictability in sooty mangabeys and chimpanzees, finding aggression and dominance interactions are most consistent.
