Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to share that our new paper has been published in Animal Behaviour. Methion, S. & Diaz Lopez, B. (2026). Reproductive state shapes female social network position in bottlenose dolphins. Animal Behaviour, 242, 123745. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2026.123745 In this study, we used long-term photo-identification data to investigate how reproductive state influences female social network position in common bottlenose dolphins. We found that cycling, pregnant, and lactating females occupy different positions within the social network, while maintaining stable female-biased association patterns across reproductive states.
