Multilayer social networks reveal the social complexity of a cooperatively breeding bird

Summary: The social environment of individuals affects various evolutionary and ecological processes. Their social environment is affected by individual and environmental traits. We assessed the effects of these traits on nodes and dyads in six layers of networks of Arabian babblers, representing di...
