Dr. Lee Allen Dugatkin, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Louisville, joins us to discuss his new book 'The Well Connected Animal: Social Networks and the Wondrous Complexity of Animal Societies.' We begin with the social networks of macaques in Puerto Rico and the impact of Hurricane Maria on their social behavior. Dr. Dugatkin also shares intriguing insights into vampire bats' social structures, blood-sharing practices, and social networks. Additionally, he delves into the cooperative behaviors between dolphins and Brazilian fishermen and the cultural transmission among chimpanzees in the Kibale Forest.
