The last decade has seen a surge of interest among biologists in a range of social animal phenomena, including collective behaviour and social networks. In 'Animal Social Behaviour', authors Ashley Ward and Michael Webster integrate the most up-to-date empirical and theoretical research to provide a new synthesis of the field, which is aimed at fellow researchers and postgraduate students on the topic.
