Behavioral ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and anthropologists have been long
fascinated by the existence of “monogamy” in the animal kingdom. Multiple studies have …

This review paper discusses rhythmic interactions and distinguishes them from non-rhythmic
interactions. We report on communicative behaviours in social and sexual contexts, as found …

The complexity of primates' singing behavior has long gathered the attention of researchers
interested in understanding the selective pressures underpinning the evolution of language …

Animal songs differ from calls in function and structure, and have comparative and
translational value, showing similarities to human music. Rhythm in music is often distributed …

Here, we investigated the possible linkages among geophagy, soil characteristics, and gut
mycobiome of indri (Indri indri), an endangered lemur species able to survive only in wild …

Vocal and gestural sequences of several primates have been found to conform to two
general principles of information compression: the compensation between the duration of a …

Parent-offspring interactions are essential to interpret animal social evolution and behavior,
but their role in mediating acoustic communication in animals that interact vocally is still …

Duets are one of the most fascinating displays in animal vocal communication, where two
animals fine-tune the timing of their emissions to create a coordinated signal. Duetting …

Strepsirrhine vocalisations are extraordinarily diverse and cross-species comparisons are
needed to explore how this variability evolved. We contributed to the investigation of primate …

Territorial pair-living species tend to occupy and defend stable areas, assumed to contain all
the resources needed for the lifetime of the group. Furthermore, groups have to mediate …
