Nature Communications, 14(1), Article 4069. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-39535-w

Vocalizations differ substantially between the sexes in many primates, and low-frequency male vocalizations may be favored by sexual selection because they intimidate rivals and/or attract mates. Sexual dimorphism in fundamental frequency may be more... Read More about Group size and mating system predict sex differences in vocal fundamental frequency in anthropoid primates.

Interface, 20(200), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2022.0736

We develop a conceptual framework for studying collective adaptation in complex socio-cognitive systems, driven by dynamic interactions of social integration strategies, social environments and problem structures. Going beyond searching for ‘intellig... Read More about Beyond collective intelligence: Collective adaptation.

The influence of task difficulty, social tolerance and model success on social learning in Barbary macaques (2023)
Journal Article
Garcia-Nisa, I., Evans, C., & Kendal, R. L. (2023). The influence of task difficulty, social tolerance and model success on social learning in Barbary macaques. Scientific Reports, 13, Article 1176. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-26699-6

Despite playing a pivotal role in the inception of animal culture studies, macaque social learning is surprisingly understudied. Social learning is important to survival and influenced by dominance and affiliation in social animals. Individuals gener...
