Spatio-temporal dynamics of ingroup interactions in macaques by Tadeusz W. Kononowicz, Felipe Rolando, Lucas Maigre, Angela Sirigu, Jean-René Duhamel, Sébastien Ballesta, Sylvia Wirth

“…We found that (1) The identity of each animal could be decoded from its individual pattern of spatial occupancy, revealing that each animal sustained a consistent spatial footprint across multiple days. (2) The average distance between monkeys was a proxy for their social hierarchy, confirming that interpersonal distance is correlated with affiliation and dominance hierarchy. (3) Alternating the social context by removing one of the monkeys revealed that only removing the closest social partner influenced occupancy. (4) Finally, the distribution of distance between pairs of monkeys was bimodal and was modeled using a random walk approach with an additional parameter reflecting the propensity to stay in close proximity, which was again related to dominance hierarchy. …”

Evaluation and Influencing Factors of Coupling Coordination of “Production–Living–Ecological” Functions Based on Grid Scale: Empirical Experience of Karst Beibu Gulf in Southwest G... by Ting Feng, Dong Wu, Xiaodong Yu, Meilin Zhang, Renling Dong, Sihan Chen

“…This paper takes the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone (BGEZ) in Guangxi as the research object, evaluates the “Production–Living–Ecological” Functions (PLEFs) of territorial space using the land category scoring method and summarizes the evolution characteristics of its spatial pattern. It analyzes the dominant and combined functions of territorial space using the revealed comparative advantage index, explores the relationships between various functions by introducing a coupling coordination degree model, and comprehensively uses Geodetector and Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression (GTWR) models to analyze the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of influencing factors on the coupling coordination degree of functions. …”

Geography is a stronger predictor of diversification of monogenean parasites (Platyhelminthes) than host relatedness in characin fishes of Middle America. by Fernando Alda, Edgar F Mendoza-Franco, William Hanson-Regan, Ruth G Reina, Eldredge Bermingham, MarkE Torchin

“…Monogenean parasites are considered highly host-specific and have long served as models for probing evolution of host-parasite associations, particularly in differentiating geographic and phylogenetic patterns of parasite diversification. We investigated the phylogeographic patterns of monogenean ectoparasites associated with four species of characin fishes across Panama, Nicaragua, and Mexico. …”
