Individual variation in animal communication: from species averages to unique voices
ABSTRACT The comparative study of communicative behaviour in non‐human animals, especially primates, has yielded crucial insights into the evolution of human language. This research, mostly focused on the species and population level, has improved our understanding of the various socio‐ecological factors that shape communication systems.

Abduction and Deduction in Dynamical Cognitive Science
Abstract This paper reviews the recent history of a subset of research in dynamical cognitive science, in particular that subset that allies itself with the sciences of complexity and casts cognitive systems as interaction dominant, noncomputational, and nonmodular. I look at this history in the light of C.S.

Conservation for marine megafaunal predators needs to improve as they are key for ecosystem functioning. We show that different marine predator taxonomic groups have heterogeneous distributions resulting in different spatial conservation priority areas. Current Mediterranean MPAs are failing to sufficiently cover their distributions.
