Excited to introduce the Latent Layers Framework – now out in @behavecol.bsky.social – to help think through when and why network differences confound inference in (comparative) social network analysis! 🧵

Behavioral data can be very detailed but are usually aggregated and normalized in ways that smother the dynamics. Ben wrote a continuous-time Markov model to improve on this, and also wrote simulations for exploring and validating pipelines. All the code is here: github.com/BenKawam/ASN...

Thank you for the apology. And sorry if I read your quote of my post as being directed at the initiators of the motion.

Final motions are often not the same as the one submitted, and can be altered during the process by special interest groups or lobbyists

All this thinking about the thing I've always wanted to know in science wouldn't have been possible without the support of the @erc.europa.eu to my FriendOrigins project. Long may funding for fundamental and blueskies science continue

After 5 yrs of thinking, debating and endless schematic doodles, we came up with the Adaptive Relationships Framework, published in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social
We hope it's useful, and even if turns out to be wrong, that it encourages new conversations about the evolution of social structure.

Delphine and I thought it made sense to merge ideas from behavioural ecology with ones from network science. We reasoned this would allow us to predict what types of relationships are best suited to solve the different challenges animals face.

So I became a behavioural ecologist, dabbled in network science, and found some likeminded scientists who wanted to know this too, like @delphinedemoor.bsky.social.

The Adaptive Relationships Framework illustrating how broad socioecological pressures shape the social solutions animals use to meet these challenges, and how these lead to social strategies and emergent structures that help them gain access to those solutions.
Social relationships are powerful predictors of fitness across social animals. But *why*?
In our new @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social paper, we outline testable predictions for why relationship quality and quantity adaptively vary across socio-ecological contexts.
