Yet, not all node losses and introductions are equal. Individual characteristics of a node can influence how its loss or introduction affects its network. Some individuals are more social than others and these differences are reflected in the presence and the frequency of network connections (Krause et al. 2010). It is plausible that when highly social individuals join a new network, they would initiate multiple connections that influence the network structure. Likewise, loss of a social individual (either by death or dispersal) will disrupt the network more than the loss of a less-social individual. For example, juveniles tend to be more socially active than adults (Turner et al. 2018), and their death or dispersal can result in a significant reduction in network connectivity. Additionally, depending on how social they are, individuals will vary in their responses to the loss of a connection (or to the presence of new conspecifics).Animals sometimes preferentially connect with successful conspecifics (Kulahci et al. 2018) as doing so provides immediate and future benefits (Kulahci and Quinn 2019). By introducing or removing successful individuals from a group, demographic events can indirectly lead to network changes. For instance, a juvenile might learn a novel behavior (eg, more efficient way to utilize a resource) in his natal group before dispersing into another group. This successful immigrant, after displaying the novel behavior in the new group, might have a better chance of being integrated into the social network than other immigrants do. Similarly, loss of individuals who possess knowledge that others do not have (McComb et al. 2001) can have striking consequences. Consequently, new nodes can introduce new behaviors and knowledge to the group, while loss of nodes can remove them; and both processes have the potential to feedback on to the network structure by influencing how existing group members respond.
