The paper quantifies iron and neuromelanin in dopaminergic neurons across chimpanzee lifespan, finding stable iron-to-neuromelanin ratios and no evidence of saturation or increased toxicity with age.

This study shows zebra finches use a copy-if-dissatisfied strategy in nest-building, with computational models revealing cognitive mechanisms and generalizability of social learning.

This paper introduces a causal Bayesian framework to infer the causes of animal social network structure from continuous-time focal-animal sampling data.

This study compares motor cortex microstructure in humans and chimpanzees using qMRI, finding conserved high myelin and iron content in the hand-knob but enhanced rightward lateralization in humans.

The paper introduces a Bayesian causal framework to infer the drivers of animal social network structure by modeling causal effects of individual, dyad, and group-level features on social interactions.

The paper uses a computer tournament to show that refining knowledge can be advantageous initially but leads to conformity and blind copying in complex cultures.

This paper develops an analytical model showing how social learning and environmental change detection coevolve, leading to stable equilibria where organisms switch learning strategies based on perceived environmental changes.
