Changes in the users of the social-ecological system around a reciprocal human-dolphin relationship
<p>This package contains the deidentified data and R code to replicate the quantitative analyses and figures of the scientific article accepted for publication at People & Nature:</p> <p><span>Cantor M</span><strong><span>,</span></strong><span> Santos-Silva B, Daura-Jorge FG, Machado AMS, Peterson D, da Rosa DX, Simões-Lopes PC, Valle-Pereira JVS, Zank S, Hanazaki N. Accepted. Changes in the users of the social-ecological system around a reciprocal human-dolphin relationship. People & Nature.</span> </p> <p> </p> <p><span>Abstract</span></p> <p>1. In contrast to many contemporary negative human-nature relationships, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities have stewarded nature through cultural practices that include reciprocal contributions for both humans and nature. A rare example is the century-old artisanal fishery in which net-casting fishers and wild dolphins benefit by working together, but little is known about the persistence of the social-ecological system formed around this cultural practice.</p> <p>2. Here, we frame the human-dolphin cooperative fishery in southern Brazil as a social-ecological system based on secondary data from the scientific and grey literature. To investigate the dynamics of this system, we survey the local and traditional ecological knowledge and examine potential changes in its main component—the artisanal fishers—over time and space.</p> <p>3. Over 16 years, we conducted four interview campaigns with 188 fishers in fishing sites that are more open (accessible) or closed (restricted) to external influence. We investigated their experience, engagement, and economic dependence on dolphin-assisted fishing, as well as the learning processes and transmission of the traditional knowledge required to cooperate with dolphins.</p> <p>4. Our qualitative data suggest that fishers using accessible and restricted fishing sites have equivalent fishing experience, but those in more restrictive sites tend to be more economically dependent on dolphins, relying on them for fishing year-round. The traditional knowledge on how to cooperate with dolphins is mostly acquired via social learning, with a tendency for vertical learning to be frequent among fishers using sites more restrictive for outsiders. Experience, economic dependence, and reliance on vertical learning seem to decrease recently, especially in the accessible site. Our quantitative analyses, however, suggest that some of these fluctuations were not significant.</p> <p>5. Our study outlines the key components of this social-ecological system and identifies changes in the attributes of a main component, the users. These changes, when coupled with changes on other components such as governance and resource units (fish and dolphins), can have implications for the persistence of this cultural practice and the livelihoods of Local Communities. We suggest that continuous monitoring of this system can help to safeguard the reciprocal contributions of this human-nature relationship in years to come.</p>

Adirondack Public Good Events Database: Natural Resource, Environmental, Economic and Recreation Policy and Common Pool Resources for a Social-Ecological System in Adirondack Park, New York, USA, 1760-2020.
I assembled this dataset from various published sources to evaluate how the social-ecological system (SES) in Adirondack Park, New York changed through time and the interplay of public goods (Common Pool Resources, CPRs), public land rules and private land rights, and related concepts over 260 years (1760-2020). The database was the basis for a doctoral dissertation titled "Blue Lining: Assessing the Resilience of Adirondack Park, New York Using Polycentricity and Panarchy Frameworks." The goal of the dissertation was to assess patterns and changes in institutional rules, actors and arrangements before and after establishment of the public Adirondack Forest Preserve in 1885 and Adirondack Park in 1892 as those actors and rules were modified and as both internal and external events influenced the SES as it moved through different phases of the adaptive cycle through space and time (see panarchy). Using the database, I identified which organizations and events contributed to natural resource and CPR policy.

(c) simulation on Repast: after queen adaptive development-MODELING SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS WITH SOCIAL INSECTS ALGORITHMS
<p>On figures (b) and (c), simulations on RePast [11, 16, 18] are<br> provided at successive times. The last figure shows the adaptive mechanism<br> of the queen which grows with time according to the material density around<br> it, like in natural observations.</p>
Figure 7: Cultural equipment dynamics modeling-MODELING SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS WITH SOCIAL INSECTS ALGORITHMS
<p>The multi-template modelling can be used to model cultural equipment<br> dynamics as described in figure 7. On this figure, we associate a queen to each<br> cultural center (cinema, theatre, ...). Each queen will emit many pheromon<br> templates, each template is associated to a specific criterium (according to age,<br> sex, ...). Initially, we put the material in the residential place. Each material<br> has some characteristics, corresponding to the people living in this residential<br> area. The simulation shows the self-organization processus as the result of the<br> set of the attractive effect of all the centers and all the templates.</p>
Figure 4: Complexity of geographical space with respect of emergent organizations-MODELING SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS WITH SOCIAL INSECTS ALGORITHMS
<p>The applications we focus on in the models that we will propose in the<br> following, concerns specifically the multi-center (or multi-organizational) phenomona<br> inside urban development. As an artificial ecosystem, the city development<br> has to deal with many challenges, specifically for sustainable development,<br> mixing economical, social and environmental aspects. The decentralized<br> methodology proposed in the following allows to deal with multi-criteria problems,<br> leading to propose a decision making assistance, based on simulation<br> analysis.</p>

<p>On Figure 1, we describe a two-level model of spatial self-organizations with<br> interactions in both directions between these two levels: the emergence of organizations<br> from entities interactions but also the feed-back process describing<br> how organizations are regulating their own entities.</p>
Reverse social contagion as a mechanism for regulating mass behaviors in highly integrated social systems
<h1>Reverse social contagion as a mechanism for regulating mass behaviors in highly integrated social systems</h1> <p>This repository houses supporting data for “Reverse social contagion as a mechanism for regulating mass behaviors in highly integrated social systems”. It contains three archives consisting of multiple files storing inter-individual interactions, trajectory data for multiple colonies of desert harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex californicus), and the code necessary to reproduce the study results. The behavioral data sets were obtained from 30s videos filmed at 15fps. </p> <h2>Description of the data and file structure</h2> <h3>Supplementary_Archive_1.zip</h3> <p>This collection of CSV files contains the antennal contact interactions among individual workers from colonies. Each file name represents the colony code and the data contained in each file belongs to a single colony. Each file contains three columns: The first (1) column represents the tag of an individual observed, the second (2) column represents the tag of the individual it interacted with, and the third (3) column represents the frame of the video at which the interaction occurred.</p> <h3>Supplementary_Archive_2.zip</h3> <p>This group of mdf files contains the trajectory data for each individual of a harvester ant colony. The files were generated using the ImageJ plugin MTrackJ. Each file contains the data of one colony and the filename represents the code of said colony. The data contained in this file is organized in rows and columns. The first row indicates the MTrackJ software version used to generate the file. The second row indicates the displaying preferences for the MTrackJ software. The third and fourth rows indicate the number of assemblies and clusters, respectively. However, this can be safely ignored as the colony was treated as a whole. The rows starting with ‘Track’ indicate the tag of the individual observed followed by its identifying number “Track 1” belongs to individual 1, “Track 2” belongs to individual 2, “Track 3 to individual 3, and so forth. The lines that start with ‘Point’ after each ‘Track’ represent the point in space in the video for each individual in a given frame. The second column after ‘Point’ simply refers to the point ID in the frame “e.g. Point 1”. The third and fourth columns represent the ‘x’ and ‘y’ coordinates in the video frame. The fourth, fifth, and sixth columns represent the dimensions of an image stack. In this case, the fourth and sixth columns are fixed to 1 and the fifth column represents the frame at which the point is taken. Each point is captured in 5-frame increments.</p> <h2>Code/Software</h2> <h3>Supplementary_Archive_3.zip</h3> <p>This archive contains the code necessary to reproduce the results of the study in the form of a Mathematica notebook. It also contains a folder with the trajectory data for each individual of a harvester ant colony, in a simplified format from that available in Supplementary_Archive_2.zip. Each CSV file in this folder corresponds to a different colony. It has four columns, respectively representing the identifying number of the individual observed, the frame number at which the observation, and the ‘x’ and ‘y’ coordinates, in that order. Finally, a XLSX file contains the number of individuals in each colony (first column), the metabolic rate of the colony (second column), and the identifying number of the colony (third column; numbers followed by the letter 's' correspond to size-reduced colonies). </p>
Review of Recent Trends in Measuring the Computing Systems Intelligence-igure 2. Intelligence of different living creature (accessed 01.11.2017). 2.1. A crow solving a complex task (https://www.disclose.tv/spooky-genius-crow-had-to-be-removed-from-scientific-experiment- 314886). 2.2. A group of dolphins with a social behaviour (http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/04/teamwork-builds-big-brains); 2.3. An orangutan that use a spear to fish (https://primatology.net/2008/04/29/orangutan-photographed-using-tool-as-spear-to-fish)
<p>Some species of birds have been shown capable of using different tools. Many studies consider the crows as very intelligent. Smirnova, Lazareva, and Zorina (2000) suggested that crows have some kind of numerical ability. Figure 2.1 presents a crow that uses a tool, a small stone in order to catch a worm from a glass of water.The dolphins in many studies are considered intelligent at the individual level. An advanced ability of dolphins is the self-awareness. Marten and Psarakos (1995) presented an interesting study based on self-view television to distinguish between self-examination and social behavior in the Bottlenose dolphin. The most well-known abilities of dolphins are to teach, learn and cooperate. Dolphins have a complex communication and social behaviour. Figure 2.2 presents the image of a common group of dolphins. Some studies prove that primates are one of the most intelligent in the class of animals (Reader, Hager, & Laland, 2011). Orangutans are one of the most intelligent primates. The ability of orangutans to use different types of tools in order to perform tasks is well-known. Figure 2.3 presents an orangutan that uses a spear to catch fish. The orangutans can be considered intelligent at individual level.</p>

Supplementary files: Social learning of innovations in dynamic predator-prey systems
<p>We investigate social transmission of behavioral innovations between predators in two classic predator-prey models. We assume that innovations increase predator attack rates or conversion efficiencies, or that innovations reduce predator mortality or prey handling time. We find that a common outcome of innovations is the destabilization of the system. Destabilizing effects include increasing oscillations or limit cycles. Particularly, in systems where prey are self-limiting and predators have a Type II functional response, destabilization occurs due to overexploitation of the prey. Whenever instability increases the risk of extinction, innovations that benefit individual predators may not have positive long-term effects on predator populations. An additional consequence of instability is the maintenance of behavioral variability among predators. Interestingly, when predator populations are low despite coexisting with prey populations near their carrying capacity, innovations that could help predators better exploit their prey are least likely to spread. Precisely how unlikely this is depends on whether or not naïve individuals need to observe an informed individual interact with prey to learn the innovation. Our results offer perspective on the potential role of innovation in biological invasions, urban colonization, and the maintenance of behavioral polymorphisms.</p>
