An engaging exploration of the wondrous social webs that permeate life in animal societies around the world.

It's all about who you know. Whether vampire bats sharing blood meals for survival, field crickets remembering champion fighters, macaque monkeys forming grooming pacts after a deadly hurricane, or great tit birds learning the best way to steal milk—it pays to be well connected.

In this tour of the animal kingdom, evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin reveals a new field of study, uncovering social networks that existed long before the dawn of human social media. He accessibly describes the latest findings from animal behavior, evolution, computer science, psychology, anthropology, genetics, and neurobiology, and incorporates interviews and insights from researchers he finds swimming with manta rays, avoiding pigeon poop, and stopping monkeys from stealing iPads.

With Dugatkin as our guide, we investigate social networks in giraffes, elephants, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, whales, bats, and more. From animal networks in Australia and Asia to Africa, Europe, and the Americas, The Well-Connected Animal is an eye-opening expose of wild friends, enemies, and everything in between.

Moved from one specific organism/animal back and forth. Nicely done and held my interest.

Interesting

A fantastic new animal intelligence and now interactions and how this affects the subjects wisdom and or their collective knowledge. Also yet another Patrick Lawler (narrated) gem.

A great book inside of nonhuman communities and how important it is to nonhumans on so many levels!

This book makes no big connections, binds none of these fairly weak an uninteresting studies together with anything like vision, and leaves you feeling like you've just read an article that took too long and taught you nothing
Maybe the problem was in the author proclaiming he was going to highlight studies performed by women. Cool. Maybe they don't get enough play, but if he can't find better ones than those he is chosen, he's not being progressive but just hoping to get a woke push.
Maybe he should leave that agenda to the policy makers and focus on finding the best animal studies possible and then making some conclusions based on them so that we will find he has something to say. Instead, he points the big old virtuesignal finger at himself.
Thin. Mushy. Forgettable. A waste of a credit.
Go read Why Don't Zebra's Get Ulcers? instead.
