Moreno Kangaroo Dominance Network
A Kangaroo dominance interaction observation dataset of 17 nodes and 91 edges, collected by KONECT. Each record contains directed edges: False, weighted: True, signed: False. This undirected network contains interactions between free-ranging grey kangaroos. A node represents a kangaroo and an edge between two kangaroos shows that there was an interaction between them. The edge values denote the total count of interactions.. Suitable for animal social network analysis, dominance hierarchies.
