Abstract
⺠We propose social network analysis for studying mixed-species flocking (MSF). ⺠Existing approaches have been constrained by species-level summary measures. ⺠The pairwise unit of measuring interactions can measure emergent social structure. ⺠We illustrate this using a mixed-species flock of tits in Wytham Woods. ⺠This approach allows us to address richer questions on the evolution of MSF.
