The paper uses network analysis of 37 years of social association data in Soay sheep to show that social connections affect survival, with the importance of quantity versus quality depending on overwinter weather conditions.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

This study investigates how kinship composition affects social structure in rhesus macaques but finds no significant difference, suggesting larger sample sizes or species comparisons may be needed.
