摘要: Animals, from flies to humans, interact with each other, forming complex relationships and structured social interaction networks. These networks describe patterns of interactions that occur within a group. Social network analysis (SNA) is the statistical nodes, which represent individuals who are connected by ties, often called edges, between individuals. Here, we review recent studies on in insects an emphasis flies. In other insects, SNA has revealed contribution group structure disease transmission, feeding strategy, fighting, mating, oviposition. The literature shows SNAs useful understand mechanisms underlying behavior as well evolution structure.
