Workshop Australia 2018: Social Network Analysis





​Workshop Peru 2018: Introduction to analytical methods for studying marine mammal social structures

XII Congreso de la Sociedad Latinoamericana de Especialistas en Mamíferos Acuáticos - RT 18

​CANTOR, M.

Día: Domingo 04 de Noviembre
Duración del taller: 8 horas
Precio del taller: $ 50 USD
Vacantes: máximo 30 personas
Resumen General y objetivos del workshop:
Different marine mammal social structures usually emerge from the trade-offs implied by living in groups. These structures summarize the the nature, quality and patterning of the social relationships among individuals. Yet, detecting these patterns, and their underlying mechanisms, can be challenging without the proper tools. This workshop will provide an overview of the statistical toolbox used to study animal societies. The goal is to introduce researchers and undergraduate and graduate students to the basic, but current, analytical methods for describing and testing hypotheses on animal social structures. Marine mammals are an exciting study model due to their behavioural diversity and flexibility. However, since it is usually challenging to observe their behavioural interactions underwater, the typical dataset comprise individually identified animals in groups over time. We will learn how to describe social structures from such data using classic and recent analytical methods, such as similarity matrices, network theory, model fitting, null models and randomization procedures. The workshop will be composed by 20-min lectures followed by hands-on working sessions where participants will learn to apply the techniques to their own data using open-source software.

South Africa Workshop (2015): Animal Social Structures: Introduction to Methods and Models

CANTOR, M.
November 23 to 27, 2015 (36 h)
Oceans Research
Mossel Bay, South Africa

​This workshop offered an introduction to the study of social structures of animals. Different animal social generally emerge from the trade-offs of group living, influenced by ecological factors and tethered by evolutionary pathways. In practice, the social structure of a population comprises the nature, quality and patterning of the social relationships among its members. Long-term studies now provide the necessary data one needs to unravel the social structure of individually identified animals in groups. During this workshop we explored many of the classic and recent statistical techniques to portray the structure of an animal society, including multivariate statistics, network theory, model fitting and selection, null models and randomization procedures. The audience comprised graduate students (MSc and PhD candidates) and professionals (post-docs and researchers).

Theoretical Module: April 15th to 20th 2012 (50 h)
Instituto Baleia Jubarte
Praia do Forte, BA, Brazil 

The third edition of this course was composed by theoretical classes and exercises with free softwares (R, SOCPROG, Distance, MARK) on three different themes: bioacoustics, social organization and population dynamics using cetacean real data. I taught the social analyses (20h)
Practical Module: April 21th to 25 2010 (40h)
Instituto Mamíferos Aquáticos (IMA)
Baia de Todos os Santos, Salvador, BA, Brazil 

After the first week, we spent five days at the Todos os Santos Bay, in Salvador BA, collecting photo identification and bioacoustic data. During the nights we organized the data and performed preliminary analyses. This part was done in collaboration with IMA.
