Evolution in European and Israeli school curricula – a comparative analysis
The contribution of school curricula to public understanding and acceptance of evolution is still mostly unknown, due to the scarcity of studies that compare the learning goals present in different curricula. To overcome this lack of data we analysed 19 school curricula (18 European and one from Israel) to study the differences regarding the inclusion of learning goals targeting evolution understanding. We performed a quantitative content analysi…
Group-level signatures in bonobo sociality
Humans show remarkable differences in social behaviour between families, groups, communities and cultures, whereas such group-level within-species variation in socio-behavioural propensities is typically overlooked in other species. Studies on intraspecific variation in animal social structures are needed to inform an evolutionary account of human sociality. Here, we study multiple independent bonobo populations ( n = 6) in zoological settings to…
Visually assessed body condition shows high heritability in a pedigreed great ape population
Body condition, a measure for relative fat mass, is associated with primate health, fitness, and overall welfare. Body condition is often influenced by dietary factors, age, and/or sex, but several body condition measures (body weight, weight‐to‐height ratios, and so on) also show high heritability across primate species, indicating a role of genetic effects. Although different measures for body condition exist, many require direct handling of an…
Social and nonsocial stimuli alter the performance of bonobos during a pictorial emotional Stroop task
The emotional Stroop task is a paradigm commonly applied in human studies to investigate how emotionally laden stimuli interfere with cognitive processes. Recent modifications of this task have enabled researchers to study similar Stroop effects in zoo‐housed primates. Across three experiments using a pictorial emotional Stroop task, we investigated if the attention of bonobos was influenced by social (facial expressions during play, conflict, an…

Urinary testosterone-metabolite levels and dominance rank in male and female bonobos ( Pan paniscus )
Urinary testosterone metabolite levels and aggressive behaviors in male and female bonobos (Pan paniscus)
This study presents the first data on the relationship between testosterone (T) and aggression in both sexes of the bonobo ( Pan paniscus ). Morning urinary concentrations of T metabolites (measured by immunoreactive 5α–androstane–17α–ol–3–one) were used to reflect T status. Results show that first, no correlation of T metabolite levels with any of the aggressive behaviors was found between individuals. Within an individual, T metabolite levels o…
