Analysing animal social network dynamics: the potential of stochastic actor‐oriented models [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2017
Summary Animals are embedded in dynamically changing networks of relationships with conspecifics. These dynamic networks are fundamental aspects of their environment, creating selection on behaviours and other traits. However, most social network‐based approaches in ecology are constrained to considering networks as static, despite several calls for
