Behavioral Ecology: Social Organization in Fission–Fusion Societies
In many group-living species, integrated movement decisions made by individuals scale up to group motion. Groups merge (fusion) or split (fission) as they move through the environment, making group composition a dynamic property. If individuals can modify the persistence of associations with certain others, complex higher-order social structure can result. African elephant societies represent o...
متن کاملSelf-organization in decentralized agent societies through social norms
Social norms help people self-organizing in many situations where having an authority representative is not feasible. On the contrary to institutional rules, the responsibility to enforce social norms is not the task of a central authority but a task of each member of the society. “The social norms I am talking about are not the formal, prescriptive or proscriptive rules designed, imposed, and ...
متن کاملEvolutionary game-theoretic modeling of past societies' social organization
In this work, we extend a generic agent-based model for simulating ancient societies, by blending evolutionary game theory with multiagent systems’ self-organization. Our approach models the evolution of social behaviours in a population of strategically interacting agents corresponding to households in the Early Minoan era. To this end, agents participate in repeated games by means of which th...
متن کاملThe behavioral ecology of variation in social insects.
Understanding the ecological relevance of variation within and between colonies has been an important and recurring theme in social insect research. Recent research addresses the genomic and physiological factors and fitness effects associated with behavioral variation, within and among colonies, in regulation of activity, cognitive abilities, and aggression. Behavioral variation among colonies...
متن کاملIntegrating social ecology in explanations of wolf–dog behavioral differences
Whereas studies in comparative cognition normally invoke ecology and social organization to account for differences in social behaviour and cognition across species, dog–wolf differences have so far been explained mostly as a result of direct human selection for desirable traits (e.g., tameness, attention to humans, sociability). Yet, as will be reviewed in this paper, dogs and wolves also diff...
