Evolution of primate vocal repertoires: Vocal systems as embodied capital for mediating within-group conflict
Life history traits constrain investments in costly neural and somatic embodied capital, potentially shaping the evolution of primate vocal communication systems. This study integrates life history theory with the social complexity hypothesis to test a sequential pathway from longevity to social dynamics to vocal repertoire size, using updated vocal repertoire data for McComb & Semple’s (2005) set of 42 non-human primate species, alongside measur…
The Role of Gene–Culture Coevolution and Parasite Stress in Diversifying Christian Denominations
Alone and under pressure: The transdiagnostic role of loneliness, stress, and psychological inflexibility in university students
Introduction: University students face growingmental health challenges that demand both clinical and population-level strategies. Psychological inflexibility, perceived stress, and loneliness have been proposed as key transdiagnostic factors influencing mental health, yet their interrelationships remain unclear. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 7,905 students from 11 Ecuadorian universities. Validated instruments were used to …
Stress and predictive psychosocial variables in Ecuadorian university teachers
University professors are exposed to high levels of stress as a result of the multiple activities involved in their profession. The objective of this research is to explain how a sequence of psychosocial variables directly and indirectly influences stress. Method: A non-probabilistic and non-clinical sample of 480 professors from different Ecuadorian universities was surveyed online, and participation was anonymous. Sequential Canonical Analysis …
Human-animal interactions from an evolutionary perspective: Symbioses as extended ultrasociality
The field of human-animal interactions (HAI) is focused primarily on human-companion animal relationships, especially the impact of such relationships on human health. Here, we demonstrate how a wider, integrative approach, consisting of an evolutionary framework, provides new insights into the varieties of HAIs and their emergence and significance during human evolution. Along with other HAI researchers, we show that those HAIs which develop int…
Diurnal fecal glucocorticoid metabolite rhythms in a cathemeral primate, the red‐bellied lemur ( Eulemur rubriventer ), and across mammalian species
Measuring glucocorticoids is one of the most reliable and widely used techniques to monitor stress responses, however invasive techniques to collect plasma samples may not be applicable for wild populations. Monitoring excreted glucocorticoids is an effective noninvasive technique that researchers have used increasingly over the past two decades, and it has allowed the investigation of glucocorticoids in a variety of species with a range of activ…
The influence of individual differences and local ecological conditions on emotional empathy, cognitive empathy, and harm avoidance towards nonhuman animals
Increased interest in the study of the relationships between human and nonhuman animals over the past few decades has often focused on what factors shape people’s attitudes and treatment towards nonhuman animals. Some scholars have focused on features of the nonhuman animals (cuteness, intelligence, and utility) and how those features predict human behavior while others have concentrated more on possible human individual differences that influenc…
Moral foundations tracked over 200 years of lexicographic data, and their predictors
The prediction that reduction of negative selection decreases group-level competitiveness, as reflected in increased individual-focused and diminished group-focused moral foundations, is tested. To measure this hypothesized shift in moral foundations, we conduct a culturomic analysis of the utilization frequencies of items sourced from the moral foundations item pool, tracked among Britannic populations from 1800 to 1999 using Google Ngram Viewer…

The ecology of empire: The dynamics of strategic differentiation-integration in two competing Western European biocultural groups
We tracked the relative integration and differentiation among life history traits over the period spanning AD 1800-1999 in the Britannic and Gallic biocultural groups. We found that Britannic populations tended toward greater strategic differentiation, while Gallic populations tended toward greater strategic integration. The dynamics of between-group competition between these two erstwhile rival biocultural groups were hypothesized as driving the…
