Yawn contagion in bonobos: Another group, another story
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23366
Abstract: In primates, yawn contagion (the yawning response elicited by others' yawn) is variably influenced by individual (e.g., sex, age) and social factors (e.g., familiarity) and possibly linked to interindividual synchronization, coordination, and emotional contagion. Two… read more here.

Beware! Different methods lead to divergent results on yawn contagion modulation in bonobos
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23671
Abstract: Contagious yawning (CY)—linked to physiological synchronization and possibly emotional contagion—occurs when one individual's yawn induces yawning in others. CY was investigated over different time windows (minutes from the triggering stimulus) via naturalistic or experimental studies… read more here.

Yawn Contagion and Modality‐Matching in the Female‐Bonded Society of Geladas (Theropithecus gelada)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23709
Abstract: Behavioral contagion is widespread in primates, with yawn contagion (YC) being a well‐known example. Often associated with ingroup dynamics and synchronization, the possible functions and evolutionary pathways of YC remain subjects of active debate. Among… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00181-021-02135-y
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel framework to study default dependence and systemic risk in a financial network that evolves over time. We analyse several indicators of risk, and develop a new latent space model to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10614-021-10092-y
Abstract: This investigation performs a detailed analysis of how the cross-shareholding network enhances stock market comovement and leads to the rise of the risk contagion effect. We construct a model with random shocks to describe the… read more here.
