Abstract:
... The experiences of aquacultural firms regarding past environmental events and their present risk perceptions of environmental and social threats are key factors in understanding their adaptive response. This study aims to understand marine aquaculture firms' adaptive behavior considering firms' heterogeneity and the relationship between past experiences, present perceptions, and willingness to inv ...

Abstract:
... Parks are a key setting that can support the health and well-being of older adults through facilitating physical activity and social interaction. However, park use among older adults is low, therefore it is important to better understand which park features are most likely to encourage them to visit and be active and social in parks. This two-phased study examined the relative importance of park f ...

I follow other critical analyses in recognizing the centrality of innovation processes in generating smart farming products, services, arrangements, and problematic outcomes. I subsequently use insights from critical human geography scholarship on the significance of understanding topological transformations to move beyond interpretation ...

Abstract:
... Companions may enhance the enjoyment of information goods, services, and life in general, but how this enhancement varies over activities and social context remains underexplored. Furthermore, we ignore whether consumption makes company better as compared to non‐consumption. To address these questions, we implement a mixed methods approach. First, we validate a duration‐based measure of experience ...

Abstract:
... This paper considers a semiparametric model of dyadic network formation under nontransferable utilities (NTU). Such dyadic links arise frequently in real-world social interactions that require bilateral consent but by their nature induce additive non-separability. In our model we show how unobserved individual heterogeneity in the network formation model can be canceled out without requiring addit ...

Abstract:
... Just and equitable access to public lands is of critical importance. A key dimension of access is the sense of inclusion, or how people feel welcome and belonging in space. We analyzed how trail users experienced the sense of inclusion within a public greenspace in eastern Pennsylvania, USA. We found that people of color felt less included than whites while on the trail, even when controlling for ...

Abstract:
... Conspecific tolerance is key for maintaining group cohesion in animals. Understanding shifts from conspecific tolerance to intolerance is therefore important for understanding transitions to sociality. Subsocial species disperse to a solitary lifestyle after a gregarious juvenile phase and display conspecific intolerance as adults as a mechanism to maintain a solitary living. The development of in ...

Abstract:
... Sociality in spiders has evolved independently multiple times, resulting in convergently evolved cooperative breeding and prey capture. In all social spiders, prey is captured by only a subset of group members and then shared with other, non-attacking group members. However, spiders' propensity to attack prey may differ among species due to species-specific trade-offs between risks, costs and bene ...

Abstract:
... Evidence suggests that keeping horses in groups may be beneficial, as increased opportunities for social interaction have been linked to improved welfare and trainability. Considering social structure within these groups is also recommended, so attempts may be made to minimize inter-horse aggression and subsequent injury risk, thus encouraging more owners to adopt this management practice.

Abstract:
... Emotional contagion refers to the mechanism of aligning with conspecifics' emotional states and is thought to be highly beneficial in social group living. While emotional contagion is well studied in humans, most studies in nonhuman animals fail to clearly distinguish between behavioural and emotional contagion. Furthermore, evidence for positive emotional contagion in nonhuman animals is almost e ...

Abstract:
... Amidst the variant energy poverty eradication strategies, little to no attention has been given to the behavioral-energy poverty nexus regardless of its potential. Using household data from Ghana, this paper examined the impact of acting prosocial on multidimensional energy poverty. Instrumenting prosocial behavior with perceived social solidarity, our estimates revealed that people who acted pros ...

Abstract:
... Rats, including those of the Sprague Dawley strain, may kill mice. Because of this muricidal behavior, it is standard practice in many research animal housing facilities to separate mice from rats (i.e., the predators) to minimize stress for the mice. We tested the effect of cohousing on the stress levels of mice from either the C57BL/6J (BL6) or the CD1 strain and Sprague Dawley rats (SD rat) by ...

Abstract:
... Hamilton’s frog (Leiopelma hamiltoni) is often found co-habiting retreat sites in the wild and in captivity, but whether co-habitation is a facet of sociality remains to be explored. We investigated the association patterns of retreat site sharing in four captive colonies of L. hamiltoni using a social networking framework. We tested whether the strength and heterogeneity of associations between i ...

Abstract:
... Toothed whales are the ideal model to validate the hypothesis that the complexity of sound communication relates to sociality. Compared to the numerous studies on several toothed whale species with complex social systems, there are very few studies on sound communication in species with simple social systems, such as narrow-ridged finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis).
