Gene-Culture Coevolution (2015)
Book Chapter
Kendal, J. (2015). Gene-Culture Coevolution. In J. Wright (Ed.), International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences (813-818). (2nd ed.). Elsevier

Gene-culture coevolution theory explicitly accounts for the inheritance of genetic and cultural traits whose fitness and evolutionary trajectory are nonindependent. After describing how a gene-culture coevolutionary account is constructed, the framew... Read More about Gene-Culture Coevolution.

Hybridization due to changing species distributions: adding problems or solutions to conservation of biodiversity during global change? (2015)
Journal Article
Brennan, A. C., Woodward, G., Seehausen, O., Munoz-Fuentes, V., Moritz, C., Guelmami, A., …Edelaar, P. (2015). Hybridization due to changing species distributions: adding problems or solutions to conservation of biodiversity during global change?. Evolutionary Ecology Research, 16(6), 475-491

Background: Due to increasing global change, the rate of hybridization appears to be increasing. Question: Is hybridization adding problems or solutions to the effects of global change on biodiversity? Methods: We divided ourselves into two independe...

A leftward bias however you look at it: revisiting the emotional chimeric face task as a tool for measuring emotion lateralization (2015)
Journal Article
Innes, R., Burt, D., Birch, Y., & Hausmann, M. (2016). A leftward bias however you look at it: revisiting the emotional chimeric face task as a tool for measuring emotion lateralization. Laterality, 21(4-6), 643-661. https://doi.org/10.1080/1357650x.2015.1117095

Left hemiface biases observed within the Emotional Chimeric Face Task (ECFT) support emotional face perception models whereby all expressions are preferentially processed by the right hemisphere. However, previous research using this task has not con...

Sternal gland scent-marking signals sex, age, rank and group identity in captive mandrills (2015)
Journal Article
Vaglio, S., Minicozzi, P., Romoli, R., Boscaro, F., Pieraccini, G., Moneti, G., & Moggi-Cecchi, J. (2016). Sternal gland scent-marking signals sex, age, rank and group identity in captive mandrills. Chemical Senses, 41(2), 177-186. https://doi.org/10.1093/chemse/bjv077

Mandrills are one of the few Old World primates to show scent-marking. We combined ethological and chemical approaches to improve our understanding of this behavior in three zoo-managed groups. We observed the olfactory behavior performed by adults a... Read More about Sternal gland scent-marking signals sex, age, rank and group identity in captive mandrills.

Maternal Oxytocin Is Linked to Close Mother-Infant Proximity in Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus) (2015)
Journal Article

Maternal behaviour is a crucial component of reproduction in all mammals; however the quality of care that mothers give to infants can vary greatly. It is vital to document variation in maternal behaviour caused by the physiological processes control...

Taxonomic bias in organismal research and conservation is well recognized, with focus disproportionately directed toward birds and mammals (1). Among mammals, carnivores often receive excessive attention and large carnivores are particularly well stu... Read More about Land sparing, land sharing, and the fate of Africa's lions.

Meaning in great ape communication: Summarising the debate (2015)
Journal Article
Scott-Phillips, T. (2016). Meaning in great ape communication: Summarising the debate. Animal Cognition, 19(1), 233-238. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10071-015-0936-3

Does non-human great ape communication have meaning in the same way as human words (and some other human behaviours)? I recently argued that the answer to this question is most likely to be in the negative (Scott-Phillips in Anim Cogn 18(3):801–805,...
