【 摘 要 】

Understanding the link between individual behavior and population organization and functioning has long been central to ecology and evolutionary biology (Krause et al., 2009; Sueur et al., 2011; Kurvers et al., 2014). Behavior is a response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors including individual state, ecological factors, or social interactions. Within a group, each individual can be seen as part of a network of social interactions varying in strength, type, and dynamic. The structure of this network can deeply impact the ecology and evolution of individuals, populations, and species.
