Gaze in context: Non-human eyes can be more salient under ecologically relevant conditions
Primate eyes vary strikingly in pigmentation, yet the drivers of said variation are strongly debated. Recent revisions of the cooperative eye hypothesis propose that the human eye’s sclera evolved to enhance gaze communication specifically under challenging conditions of visibility. We tested this idea under ecologically realistic conditions by presenting observers with a live model wearing contact lenses that simulated either a human-like or a c…
What is unique about the human eye? Comparative image analysis on the external eye morphology of human and nonhuman great apes
Testing the effect of oxytocin on social grooming in bonobos
Oxytocin has attracted research attention due to its role in promoting social bonding. In bonobos and chimpanzees, the two species most closely related to humans, urinary oxytocin is known to correlate with key behaviours related to social bonding such as social grooming in chimpanzees and female‐female sexual behaviour in bonobos. However, no study has demonstrated that the administration of oxytocin promotes real‐life social interactions in Pan…
Do chimpanzees enjoy a virtual forest? A pilot investigation of the use of interactive art as a form of environmental enrichment for zoo‐housed chimpanzees
Environmental enrichment is essential for the well‐being of zoo animals. Recent advances in sensor and video technologies may contribute to improvements in enrichment in terms of their flexibilities and time constraints. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether interactive movie art can be used as a form of environmental enrichment. We implemented interactive movies designed by a professional artist, a visual art aiming to reflect nat…
Great apes anticipate that other individuals will act according to false beliefs
Apes understand false beliefs We humans tend to believe that our cognitive skills are unique, not only in degree, but also in kind. The more closely we look at other species, however, the clearer it becomes that the difference is one of degree. Krupenye et al. show that three different species of apes are able to anticipate that others may have mistaken beliefs about a situation (see the Perspective by de Waal). The apes appear to understand that…
