AI Article Synopsis
- Social structure influences both the spread of information and the transmission of pathogens, affecting how individuals interact within a community.
- The relationship between information sharing and infection dynamics is often overlooked in studies of social evolution.
- An integrated approach is suggested to examine how social adaptability (phenotypic plasticity) can enhance information dissemination and manage pathogen spread.
Article Abstract
Social information and socially transmitted pathogens are governed by social structure, and also shape social interactions. However, information and infection are rarely investigated as interactive factors driving social evolution. We propose exactly such an integrative framework, drawing attention to mechanisms of social phenotypic plasticity for information spread and pathogen control.
