Many morphs: parsing gesture signals from the noise

This paper introduces a framework to refine gesture classification in wild chimpanzees by splitting gesture types based on modifying features, assessing if this increases communication system information content.

A network-based analysis of signal use during approach interactions across sexes in chacma baboons (Papio ursinus griseipes)

The paper analyzes signal use in approach interactions across sexes in chacma baboons, identifying predictable signal combinations and their association with benign intent.

Higher social tolerance is associated with more complex facial behavior in macaques

The study finds that crested macaques, which are more socially tolerant, exhibit higher facial behavior diversity and complexity compared to less tolerant macaque species.

Chimpanzee play sequences are structured hierarchically as games

This study shows chimpanzee play sequences are hierarchically structured as games with predictable patterns and flexible action rules.

Impact of dominance rank specification in dyadic interaction models

The paper examines how different dominance rank specifications affect dyadic interaction models in sooty mangabeys, showing that non-linear models perform better and highlighting the impact of researcher choices on results.

Accuracy and Precision of Social Relationship Indices

This study evaluates the accuracy and precision of three social relationship indices using simulations, finding they depend on sample size and constituting interaction types.

Grooming interventions in female rhesus macaques as social niche construction

The paper examines grooming interventions in female rhesus macaques to understand how social structure and relationships influence intervention outcomes.

Long-term repeatability in social behaviours suggests stable social phenotypes in wild chimpanzees

This study shows that social behaviors in wild chimpanzees remain stable over 20 years, suggesting long-term social phenotypes are consistent despite environmental and demographic changes.
