Cooperation by non-kin during birth underpins sperm whale social complexity We quantitatively document a sperm whale birth event, revealing collective support behaviors across kinship lines. Using high-resolution drone footage, computer vision, and multiscale network analysis...

Amazing!

🥳 Congrats (and many thanks) to @VittoriaOffeddu @elicolosi.bsky.social @alemelegaro.bsky.social and the whole IMMUNE consortium 🙏

📯Integrating behaviour into math models for disease transmission has long been a challenge: from identifying meaningful behavior measures to embedding them faithfully in models📯

👇we bridge SOTA behavioural science w/ Infectious Disease modelling to approach the gap👇

Job loss disrupts mobility but doesn’t narrow gaps across socio-demographic groups.

New paper alert. "More is different" & the LLMs.
LLMs are usually studied in isolation. But what happens when they start interacting? We explored this by looking at their collective behaviour.

Thanks to the editors and the amazing team for the hard work!

🚨New paper forthcoming @apsrjournal.bsky.social!🚨

How do economic shocks shape politics?

We study a plant disease epidemic in Italy🌱—finding it fueled far-right support

It’s not just economic loss but how shocks uproot communities and interact with perceptions of state neglect

Wonder if these lists could be merged somehow..

Infectious Disease Modelling starter pack!

Suggestions are welcome!

Hello world!

We have created a starter pack to showcase the work of early career researchers in complex systems.

The list is still under development! If you feel like you might fit in this category, let us know in the comments and we will add you :)

The BlueSky team created a great tool to help newcomers: starter packs.

Here a quick starter pack for #complexity and network scientists + feeds to quickly join the community! #NetSky

Please, help to share (and if you are not in the list, get in touch and I will add you)
