Disentangling influence over group speed and direction reveals multiple patterns of influence in moving meerkat groups

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Baptiste Averly from the DepartmentUniversity of have published the research: Disentangling influence over group speed and direction reveals multiple patterns of influence in moving meerkat groups, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: For each metric, the authors evaluate a given individual`s influence on the group by measuring the probability that the group`s movement temporally follows that individual`s movement. While this study cannot yet address these possibilities, the methods developed here provide a foundation for future studies investigating more detailed questions about how group composition and social structure shape the . . .
