Reproductive seasonality is the norm in mammals from temperate regions but less common
at lower latitudes, where a broad diversity of reproductive phenology strategies is observed …

Immatures' social development may be fundamental to understand important biological
processes, such as social information transmission through groups, that can vary with age …

The evolutionary benefits of reproductive seasonality are often measured by a single-fitness
component, namely offspring survival. Yet different fitness components may be maximized …

The distribution of self-awareness across species is important to understand, not only as a
matter of scientific interest but also because of its implications for the ethical standing of non …

Nonhuman primates demonstrate great behavioral diversity in their responses to death, yet
the most prevalent of these—infant corpse carrying—remains poorly understood. While …

Ecologists increasingly rely on camera‐trap data to estimate biological parameters such as
population abundance. Because of the huge amount of data camera trap can generate, the …

Facial features of immature individuals play a pivotal role in eliciting caretaking behaviors in
humans. It has been posited that non-human animals share particular infantile facial …
