Predatory Pricing in a Oligopolistic Framework [PDF]
, 1999 In this paper we study the nature of predatory behavior in an oligopolistic framework. We use the long-purse story of financial vulnerability to demonstrate that predatory behavior is less likely to occur in an oligopoly than in a monopoly.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
