A healthy social life? Sociality and health indicators in wild red-fronted lemurs
(2022-06-29)In the last 40 years, an increasing number of studies from medicine, neurosciences, and psychology demonstrated links between many aspects of sociality, health, and fitness in humans and laboratory animals. Some studies ... -
Aging and its impact on sociality in Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus)
(2018-04-13)With the aging of the human population, studies on the causes and consequences and, particularly, age-associated diseases, are attracting substantial attention. But how does aging affect peoples’ motivation to engage with ... -
Ancient genetic landscape of archaeological human remains from Panama, South America and Oceania described through STR genotype frequencies and mitochondrial DNA sequences
(2021-12-20)The settlements of the Americas and Oceania are particularly fascinating topics. On the one side is the settlements of Australia and New Guinea (30,000 – 50,000 years ago) were the scenarios of one of the earliest migration ... -
Anthropologische Bearbeitung der Bestattungen napoleonischer Soldaten aus Frankfurt-Rödelheim zur Rekonstruktion der Lebensbedingungen in der Grande Armée
(2023-05-23)In this work, the human remains of more than 200 Napoleonic soldiers, which were archaeologically recovered in the Rödelheim district (Frankfurt am Main) in 2015, were comprehensively anthropologically examined. The aim ... -
Cognitive adaptations in two sympatric mouse lemur species occupying different ecological niches
(2021-11-16)Cognition describes an individual’s abilities to perceive, process, and act on information of the abiotic and biotic environment. The investigation of cognitive variation between individuals and species has been of interest ... -
Cooperation and competition in wild male Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) in Morocco
(2013-10-07)Mammalian males compete for a non-sharable resource (receptive females) and are typically the dispersing sex, thus cooperation between males may appear counterintuitive. However, if both partners gain mutual benefits from ... -
Dynamics and fitness benefits of male-male sociality in wild Guinea baboons (Papio papio)
(2020-03-06)Males living in multi-male groups display a wide range of relationships with co-resident males, varying from high levels of competition, intolerance and avoidance to cooperation, affiliation and social bonds. Despite the ... -
Environmental and maternal effects on infant development in wild Verreaux´s sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi)
(2021-12-23)Organisms’ life cycles vary tremendously between and within species leading to differences in life histories. Early development plays an important role in the life trajectory of an individual and shapes its entire life. ... -
Evaluating morphological and metrical methods for sex estimation on isolated human skeletal material
(2023-02-13)The primary goal of this study is to estimate the sex of human skeletal materials using morphological and metrical methods described in the forensic and anthropological literature with molecular testing performed on Inden ... -
Evolutionary origin of the human pair-bond – the adaptive significance of male-female relationships in wild Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis), Thailand
(2017-08-02)The patterns of social interactions and the resulting relationships between members of a social group shape the social structure of animal societies. In large primate groups, both sexes potentially form differentiated ... -
Female social relationships among wild Assemese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
(2014-07-14)It has been repeatedly shown that strong, affiliative social relationships (hereafter “social relationships”) are extremely important for human health and well-being. Increasingly there is evidence that non-human species ... -
Foundations of variation in male aggressiveness and tolerance between chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Botswana and Guinea baboons (P. papio) in Senegal
(2014-10-24)The fitness limiting resource for most male primates is the indivisible fertilization of females. Therefore, males commonly compete aggressively with each other over access to receptive females. Among species, however, ... -
Genetische Diversität in der Lichtensteinhöhle – Ableitungen zur Demographie und Interpretationen zu sozialen Strukturen sowie Bestattungssitten in einer bronzezeitlichen Bevölkerung
(2022-03-03)The archaeological part of the Lichtenstein Cave, a gypsum karst cave in the southwestern periphery of the Harz Mountains, was discovered in 1980 and has since been investigated in close, interdisciplinary cooperation. The ... -
Group coordination during collective movements in Guinea baboons (Papio papio)
(2019-11-08)Despite potentially diverging interests, members of social groups coordinate to maintain group cohesion. The mechanisms and processes of group coordination are modulated by species- and context-specific factors. The genus ... -
Health consequences of group living in wild Verreaux’s sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi)
(2020-07-10)The evolution of sociality exposed individuals to several new health-related costs and benefits, which fundamentally affect their survival and reproductive success. Group living provides better access to food and mates and ... -
Identifikation – Von der Speziesbestimmung bis zur Identitätsfeststellung mit Hilfe von ancient DNA-Analysen
(2022-02-24)Molecular genetic analyses can be used to answer central questions in anthropology. These are usually the question of the species origin of bone finds or other biological material and, in the case of a human origin, the ... -
Immature development in wild Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
(2016-10-11)Relationships between adult attributes and lifetime fitness have been previously explored in numerous studies, but although many adult attributes diversify during childhood or even prenatally, and although lifetime fitness ... -
Influence of social tolerance on social learning
(2014-11-10)One outstanding feature of modern human societies is the complex cultural behaviour they exhibit. Although we do not find comparable capacities for culture in other species, some elements of culture are present in the ... -
Integrating behavior, hormones and genes associated with the primate HPA-axis
(2019-04-17)For zoologists, and especially primatologists, it has been a longstanding aim to decipher the causes of individual variability. Phenotypes associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis, a central physiological ... -
Inter-and Intraindividual Variation in Emotion Recognition: Investigating the Role of the Ovulatory Cycle, Sex, and Personality
(2023-09-18)Previous research has shown that emotion recognition varies within and between individuals, influenced by physiological and psychological factors such as hormones, biological sex, and dispositional traits. However, ...
