DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23426
Abstract: Dispersal between social groups reduces the risk of inbreeding and can improve individuals' reproductive opportunities. However, this movement has costs, such as increased risk of predation and starvation, loss of allies and kin support, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10764-019-00099-6
Abstract: Many nonhuman primates adjust their behavior and thrive in human-altered habitats, including towns and cities. Studying anthropogenic influences from an animal’s perspective can increase our understanding of their behavioral flexibility, presenting important information for human–wildlife… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11357-020-00219-8
Abstract: The trend to delay pregnancy in the USA has resulted in the number of advanced maternal age (AMA) pregnancies to also increase. In humans, AMA is associated with a variety of pregnancy-related pathologies such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msaa079
Abstract: Despite its important biological role, the evolution of recombination rates remains relatively poorly characterized. This owes, in part, to the lack of high-quality genomic resources to address this question across diverse species. Humans and our… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.2668
Abstract: Social networks can be adaptive for members and a recent model (Ilany and Akçay 2016 Nat. Comm. 7, 12084 (doi:10.1038/ncomms12084)) has demonstrated that network structure can be maintained by a simple process of social inheritance.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eth.12946
Abstract: Animals often have a limited time to perform different fitness-enhancing activities, such as the trade-off between socializing versus foraging in group-living species. Many previous studies have focused on how ecological and social factors influence activity… read more here.
