(De)composing sociality: Disentangling individual‐specific from dyad‐specific propensities to interact

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 963-978, March 2026.
Abstract In group‐living animals, relationships between group members are often highly differentiated. Some dyads can maintain strong and long‐lasting relationships, while others are only connected by weak or fleeting ties. More and more studies show that aspects of social relationships are related to reproductive success and survival.

Intraspecific Contact Among White‐Tailed Deer: A Literature Review and Chronic Wasting Disease Case Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We identified five themes underlying research on intraspecific contact among white‐tailed deer: physical touch, social groups, spatial overlap, contact rates, and social networks. We found white‐tailed deer infected with chronic wasting disease exhibited similar rates of intraspecific contact as those without infections.

Peering into the world of wild passerines with 3D‐SOCS: Synchronized video capture and posture estimation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 339-356, February 2026.
Abstract Collection of large behavioural data‐sets on wild animals in natural habitats is vital in ecology and evolution studies. Recent progress in machine learning and computer vision, combined with inexpensive microcomputers, has unlocked a new frontier of fine‐scale markerless measurements.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Impact of animal socioecology on gut microbial communities: Insights from wild meerkats in the Kalahari

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2687-2703, December 2025.
Our study addresses critical gaps at the nexus of animal and microbial ecologies, adding much‐needed empirical support to recent theoretical frameworks that have conceptualised gut microbiomes as being strongly influenced by animal sociality and group‐living, and bringing benefits that may have strongly (and reciprocally) influenced the evolution of ...

Partitioning Social and Spatial Drivers of Infection Risk

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Contact rates drive disease spread, yet are often oversimplified as uniform across individuals. Using data on Mastomys natalensis, we show that exposure to Morogoro virus is linked to spatial overlap with infected conspecifics, but not overall overlap, and that direct contact occurs with only a few individuals despite broad home range overlap ...

Social Interactions Are Related to Cognitive Development in Western Australian Magpie Fledglings

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
The early social environment can play a pivotal role in an individual's ability to learn, solve problems and make decisions. We find that multiple elements of an individual's social upbringing influence their ability to learn. ABSTRACT Social interactions during development can have a significant and lasting impact on adult phenotypes and fitness ...

Safety of UV‐treated oil from yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor larvae) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on UV‐treated oil from yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor larvae) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is produced from farmed T.
