What an end to the year! 🚨New publication 🚨Our work on multimodality in yawn contagion 🥱 and on the centrality of female-female mirror responses in geladas is finally out! Free on @AmJournalPrimat 🐒 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @EthosLabo @bettapalagi @M_Francesconi
Yawn Contagion and Modality‐Matching in the Female‐Bonded Society of Geladas (Theropithecus gelada)

Yawn Contagion and Modality‐Matching in the Female‐Bonded Society of Geladas (Theropithecus gelada)

Behavioral contagion is widespread in primates, with yawn contagion (YC) being a well-known example. Often associated with ingroup dynamics and synchronization, the possible functions and evolution...

🚨New paper! We found that in rhesus macaques spontaneous triadic affiliation after conflicts is common, increases with the victim-bystander bond and victim distress signals. This challenges traditional despotic-tolerant dichotomies🐒 @bettapalagi sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

🚨 New paper on rhesus macaque play fighting! 🐒 Discover how rapid facial mimicry in this despotic species is influenced by rank and linked to the emotional arousal of playmates! 🎭📊 very proud of this @bettapalagi @EthosLabo Open access here: link.springer.com/article/10…
Rapid facial mimicry as a regulator of play in a despotic macaque species

Rapid facial mimicry as a regulator of play in a despotic macaque species

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology - During risky interactions like social play, motor resonance phenomena such as facial mimicry can be highly adaptive. Here, we studied Rapid Facial Mimicry...

We had a day filled with surprise, joy, and gratefulness when the community organized an event to make us feel part of Debre Libanos. An incredible emotion and honor for all of us! This is why our project goes beyond the study of gelada sociality! @TheLeakeyFndtn 🐒🐒🐒

Not only #primates! Our new article on social play and affiliation in cattle is (finally!) out!🐮 We investigated whether fluctuations in the expression of social behaviours might relate to the animals' internal state! @bettapalagi link.springer.com/article/10… #animalwelfare

Luckily our conference has ended before someone could follow such suggestions! 😂 (btw it would have really matched the combo monastery-fog-cold) – at Trapani, Sicily

I'm at a conference in a remote Sicilian monastery. Spending 4 days and 3 nights with a motley gang of about 60 scholars. We are 750 m above sea level, shrouded in mist. I think someone should do a murder.
Inside the courtyard of an old monastery. Stone buildings. Super foggy.
