Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution in the Social Brain
TL;DR: It is suggested that it may have been the particular demands of the more intense forms of pairbonding that was the critical factor that triggered this evolutionary development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diclofenac poisoning as a cause of vulture population declines across the Indian subcontinent

TL;DR: It is recommended that urgent action is taken in the range states of the three currently threatened vulture species to prevent the exposure of vultures to livestock carcasses contaminated with diclofenac.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding primate brain evolution
TL;DR: A detailed reanalysis of the comparative brain data for primates is presented, and a model using path analysis is developed that seeks to present the coevolution of primate brain (neocortex) and sociality within a broader ecological and life-history framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stepwise evolution of stable sociality in primates
TL;DR: A model of primate social evolution is presented, whereby sociality progresses from solitary foraging individuals directly to large multi-male/multi-female aggregations, with pair-living or single-male harem systems derivative from this second stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of the social brain: anthropoid primates contrast with other vertebrates
TL;DR: It is suggested that, among vertebrates in general, pairbonding represents a qualitative shift from loose aggregations of individuals to complex negotiated relationships, and that these bonded relationships have been generalized to all social partners in only a few taxa (such as anthropoid primates).
