Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The extant primates of Madagascar (Lemuriformes) represent the endpoints of an adaptive radiation following a single colonization event more than 50 million years ago. They have since evolved a diversity of life history traits, ecological adaptations and

Culture and Sociobiology [PDF]
American Anthropologist, 1978 Sociobiological concepts are easily misapplied to human behavior because the latter is culturally as well as biologically organized. Because biological and cultural evolution are two linked but conceptually distinct processes, sociobiology is more readily applied to the evolution of cultural capacity than to contemporary cultural behavior.

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.Viral spill‐over from honey bees is a potential threat to wild pollinators. We used causal modelling approaches to detect the main drivers of spill‐over. Honey bee viral density, niche overlap with honey bees, urbanisation and plant‐pollinator network structure all played an important role in the transmission of BQCV, DWV‐A and DWV‐B.

Nations as Natural Families: From Kin Selection to Multilevel Selection
Nations and Nationalism, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 91-102, January 2026.ABSTRACT In nationalism studies, nations are often viewed as artificial constructs. By contrast, many sociobiologists see nations as natural families or kin groups. They explain altruism and shared ancestry among co‐nationals through kin selection theory, which accounts for altruism towards close genetic relatives. In this article, we refine and deepen

Romani StudiesIn this article, we challenge the idea that the development and the dissemination of scientific knowledge about Roma can be understood as “Eastern” or “Western.” Instead, we argue that the classical division between “science” and “pseudoscience” has the ...

Intestinal parasite communities of six sympatric lemur species at Kirindy Forest, Madagascar [PDF]
Primate Biology, 2016 Intestinal parasites impact host health, survival and reproductive success and therefore exert selective pressures on hosts' ecology and behavior. Thus, characterizing and comparing the parasitic fauna of different wildlife hosts sharing the same habitat

Evidence for social role in a dolphin social network [PDF]
, 2006 Social animals have to take into consideration the behaviour of conspecifics when making decisions to go by their daily lives. These decisions affect their fitness and there is therefore an evolutionary pressure to try making the right choices.
