DESCRIPTION:Ageing affects many phenotypic traits\, but the declines in soc
 ial behaviour that occur with age have only recently become apparent. Give
 n the well-established fitness benefits associated with social connectedne
 ss\, understanding why this ‘social ageing’ occurs will be important f
 or integrating sociality into our understanding of the ageing process. Her
 e\, I will present a framework for disentangling the drivers of social age
 ing and will use 8-years of behavioural data from a population of free-ran
 ging rhesus macaques on Cayo Santiago to demonstrate evidence for one of t
 hese drivers - age-based social selectivity. I will discuss how age-based 
 changes in social behaviour can feed up to influence an individual’s ind
 irect connectedness in their network and overall patterns of network struc
 ture. Finally\, by simulating pathogen spread through these social network
 s\, I will explore whether social selectivity has the potential to provide
  benefits to older individuals by protecting against disease risk in later
 -life. Together\, this talk will aim to demonstrate that social ageing may
  be an important and underappreciated aspect of an organism’s phenotype 
 that could contribute to inter-individual variation in demographic senesce
 nce.\nSpeaker: Erin Siracusa
