Teeth Baring as a Model to Understand Complex Facial Signals in a Tolerant Macaque Species
Facial communication regulates many aspects of social life in human and nonhuman primates. Empirically identifying distinct facial expressions and their underlying functions can help illuminate the evolution of species' communicative complexity. We focused on bared‐teeth faces (BTFs), a highly versatile facial expression in the tolerant macaque Macaca tonkeana . By employing a diverse array of techniques (MaqFACS, unsupervised cluster analysis, L…
Inertia and Rapid Divergence in the Evolution of Yawning
Complex communication systems appear to evolve alongside social complexity. Comparing closely related species with similar social structures but distinct sociobiology offers valuable insights into the evolution of communicative variability. Here, we explore yawning (morphology, sensory modalities, contexts, contagious effect), a highly conserved behavioral trait, in two zoo‐housed groups of geladas ( Theropithecus gelada , n subjects = 67, n yawn…
More than a simple fixed action pattern
In the last decade, increasing attention has been devoted to exploring some aspects of yawning in non-human animals. With their chin red mark, bony paranasal swellings, male large brains and long canines, drills ( Mandrillus leucophaeus ) offer a robust model for testing hypotheses on the phenomenon. We identified two yawn variants (covered, Y CT and uncovered teeth, Y UCT ) which differ in terms of recruitment of muscular action units (AUs). We …
Wolves and dogs unleashed
The behavioral outcomes of wolf domestication include high tameness and playful motivation Wolves and dogs exhibit extended play into adulthood, making adult play a key model to explore domestication effects We collected data on mother-reared wolves and Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs (CWDs), analyzing play fighting behaviors. CWDs are a good comparison model due to their genetic closeness to wolves. Wolves played in a more competitive and less reciproc…
Social Isolation Affects the Mimicry Response in the Use of Smartphones
Humans are social animals that rely on different ways to interact with each other. The COVID-19 pandemic strongly changed our communication strategies. Because of the importance of direct contact for our species, we predict that immediately after the forced social isolation, people were more prone to engage in direct rather than in virtual interactions, thus showing a lower mimicry response in the use of smartphones. In a non-longitudinal study, …
Not all yawns tell the same story
Here we show for the first time that the plasticity in morphology and duration of yawning in Macaca tonkeana can be associated with different functional contexts. Macaca tonkeana is classified as a tolerant macaque species characterized by social interactions minimally constrained by dominance rank or kinship. Tonkean macaques, as other egalitarian species, rely on a complex facial communicative system. We found that the degree of mouth opening (…
