Biological Altruism and the cultural-evolutionary roots of religion [PDF]
The unselfish, altruistic behavior of insect societies can be explained by way of unusually close genetic relatedness, while the cooperative behavior of chimpanzee and other distantly related mammalian social groups results from their daily, social \"fit-

Colour change and assortment in the western rainbowfish [PDF]
Grouping behaviour is widespread across the animal kingdom, and is known to reduce an individual's risk of predation, for example through predator confusion.

Evolving a Field: Can Evolutionary Theory Provide What the Study of Human Evolution Requires?
ABSTRACT The extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) is a school of thought that maintains that genetic determination and natural selection are over‐emphasized in the study of evolution at the expense of non‐genetic inheritance and processes of evolution beyond selection.

Activity schedule and foraging in Protopolybia sedula (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) [PDF]
Protopolybia sedula is a social swarming wasp, widely spread throughout many countries in the Americas, including most of Brazil. Despite its distribution, studies of its behavioral ecology are scarce. This study aimed to describe its

Video‐Sound Recording Devices Reveal Multiple Drivers of Nocturnal Vocalizations in Tibetan Macaques
This study investigates the nocturnal vocal behavior of Tibetan macaques in Huangshan, China, using 4G infrared cameras and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Findings reveal a bimodal vocalization pattern (18:00–19:00 and 21:00–23:00), influenced by sex, age, social centrality, kinship, and ecological factors such as wind direction, temperature, and ...

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications
Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

Short Abstract Coercive animal labour is often state sanctioned as an ecologically friendly mode of sand mining, based on anthropocentric environmental ideology that sees animal bodies as solutions or fixes for often human‐caused environmental crises, even as, incrementally, it causes extreme ecological destruction.

We show that hotter juvenile temperatures can increase adult fertility in an emerging model insect system. These reproductive benefits may be crucial for insect populations to avoid extinction during global warming, which often reduces survival rates. Population dynamics estimated from lethal stress alone, or without considering carryover effects from ...
