A Theory of Social Thermoregulation in Human Primates [PDF]
Beyond breathing, the regulation of body temperature—thermoregulation—is one of the most pressing concerns for many animals. A dysregulated body temperature has dire consequences for survival and development.

Modernizing Relationship Therapy through Social Thermoregulation Theory: Evidence, Hypotheses, and Explorations [PDF]
In the present article the authors propose to modernize relationship therapy by integrating novel sensor and actuator technologies that can help optimize people’s thermoregulation, especially as they pertain to social contexts. Specifically, they propose

Social thermoregulation as a potential mechanism linking sociality and fitness: Barbary macaques with more social partners form larger huddles [PDF]
Individuals with more or stronger social bonds experience enhanced survival and reproduction in various species, though the mechanisms mediating these effects are unclear.

Sociality Affects REM Sleep Episode Duration Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions in the Rock Hyrax, Procavia capensis [PDF]
The rock hyrax, Procavia capensis, is a highly social, diurnal mammal. In the current study several physiologically measurable parameters of sleep, as well as the accompanying behavior, were recorded continuously from five rock hyraxes, for 72 h under ...

Use of social thermoregulation fluctuates with mast seeding and reproduction in a pulsed resource consumer. [PDF]
AbstractEdible dormice (Glis glis) can remain entirely solitary but frequently share sleeping sites with conspecifics in groups of up to 16 adults and yearlings. Here, we analysed grouping behaviour of 4564 marked individuals, captured in a 13-year study in nest boxes in a deciduous forest. We aimed to clarify (i) whether social thermoregulation is the

Development and Validation of the Social Thermoregulation and Risk Avoidance Questionnaire (STRAQ-1) [PDF]
Attachment theory was built around the idea that infants rely on others to survive, and it is often forgotten that survival hinged on coping with environmental demands.

Talking About Temperature and Social Thermoregulation in the Languages of the World
The last decade saw rapid growth of the body of work devoted to relations between social thermoregulation and various other domains, with a particular focus on the connection between prosociality and physical warmth.

The science of yawning: Exploring its physiology, evolutionary role, and behavioral impact [PDF]
Yawning is a ubiquitous physiological phenomenon observed across various species, including humans. Traditionally associated with boredom or drowsiness, yawning encompasses a complex interplay of neurological, physiological, and social factors.
