Ecology of River Dolphins and Fish at Confluence Aggregations in the Peruvian Amazon
FishesAmazon River dolphins often form multi-species aggregations at water confluences. This study used a multi-year data set to examine dolphins, fish, and geomorphology at dolphin aggregations. Methods included dolphin transect surveys, dolphin point counts,

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Error detection is not necessary for representation
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are

The evolutionary psychology of the human pointing gesture
Mind &Language, EarlyView.The human pointing gesture is a species‐unique and species‐universal form of communication that depends on humans' especially powerful forms of cooperative cognition and motivation. I have previously hypothesized that the pointing gesture evolved as a behavioral tool empowering individuals to better coordinate their interdependent collaborative ...

Deep dialogism, inner voices, and mental health
Mind &Language, EarlyView.The idea that cognition involves dialogic interchange between mutually influencing “voices” has long featured in psychology and philosophy. While dialogic structure is most explicit in inner speech, some authors have argued that other types of mental activity can be (or always are) dialogic. We introduce two dimensions of dialogism, strength and depth,

The Heterogeneous Regional Employment Effects of Environmental Policies
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Environmental Policies—measured by the OECD Environmental Policy Stringency Index (EPS)—on employment in 349 regions across 26 countries from 1990 to 2020. We find that more stringent EPS have short‐term negative effects on regional employment, which disappear in the medium term.

Global Ecology and ConservationThe coexistence of sympatric species, which share similar ecological requirements and compete for resources in the same area, requires mechanisms to reduce interspecific competition. In the Azores, common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and Atlantic spotted

Energetic savings of bow-riding dolphins
Scientific ReportsBow-riding occurs when dolphins swim in the pressure waves at the front of a vessel. Bow-riding is hypothesized to be “fun” for dolphins or to save them energy although the energetics have not been explored.
