Social complexity has been one of the recent emerging topics in the study of animal and
human societies, but the concept remains both poorly defined and understood. In this paper …

Vocalizations are a pervasive feature of nonhuman primate social life, yet we know
surprisingly little about their function. We review studies supporting the hypothesis that many …

Cognition presents evolutionary research with one of its greatest challenges. Cognitive
evolution has been explained at the proximate level by shifts in absolute and relative brain …

Social integration and support can have profound effects on human survival. The extent of
this phenomenon in non-human animals is largely unknown, but such knowledge is …

Many species use social interactions to cope with challenges in their environment and a
growing number of studies show that individuals which are well-connected to their group …

Within-group variation in sociality has been linked to correlates of fitness across vertebrates.
Individuals that form strong social bonds with a few partners, or are well integrated into a …

In many social mammals, females who form close, differentiated bonds with others
experience greater offspring survival and longevity. We still know little, however, about how …

This article builds a broad theory to explain how people respond, both biologically and
behaviorally, when targeted with incivility in organizations. Central to our theorizing is a …

Our understanding of the neurobiology of primate behaviour largely derives from artificial
tasks in highly controlled laboratory settings, overlooking most natural behaviours that …

Accumulating evidence in humans and other mammals suggests older individuals tend to
have smaller social networks. Uncovering the cause of these declines can inform how …
