A guide to sampling design for GPS‐based studies of animal societies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 GPS‐based tracking is widely used for studying wild social animals. Much like traditional observational methods, using GPS devices requires making a number of decisions about sampling that can affect the robustness of a study's conclusions.

Information integration for decision-making in desert locusts
iScience, 2023 Summary: Locust swarms can extend over hundred kilometers, and starvation compels this ancient pest to devour everything in its path. Theory suggests that gregarious behavior benefits foraging efficiency, yet the role of social cohesion remains elusive ...

Social modulation of individual preferences in cockroaches
iScience, 2021 Summary: In social species, decision-making is both influenced by, and in turn influences, the social context. This reciprocal feedback introduces coupling across scales, from the neural basis of sensing, to individual and collective decision-making ...

Behavioral variation across the days and lives of honey bees
iScience, 2022 Summary: In honey bee colonies, workers generally change tasks with age (from brood care, to nest work, to foraging). While these trends are well established, our understanding of how individuals distribute tasks during a day, and how individuals differ ...
