From reproductive control to social empowerment: Lessons from female spotted hyenas : Eve Davidian | Frontiers in Social Evolution (FINE) online seminar series
Conflicts over the modality of reproduction strongly shape the relationship between males and females. Yet their implications outside the reproductive context remains poorly understood. Building on a recent theoretical framework for intersexual power dynamics in mammals, I will illustrate the link between asymmetries in reproductive control and social inequalities between the sexes. I will specifically [...]
Annual Conference of the European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association
Cité des Arts - Montpellier - France 13 Avenue du professeur Grasset, Montpellier, FranceThe European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association (EHBEA) brings together international researchers from the evolutionary sciences and humanities who are interested in the physiological and behavioural adaptations of the human species.

Wild orangutan gut microbiomes across a shifting nutritionallandscape - Rebecca Brittain - Nsf Sbe Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Yale & Jagiellonian University
Université Montpellier Campus Triolet ISEM Salle René Lavocat Bât 22 RDC ISEM - Batiment 22 - Place Eugène Bataillon, Montpellier, Languedoc RoussillonWild orangutans inhabit extremely variable dietary environments with fluctuations in fruit availability that cause significant changes in their dietary compositions and total caloric intake. Many studies on mammals and primates show clear signals of seasonal variation in gut microbiota. A few primate studies demonstrate that gut microbiota may be helping hosts maintain energy balance during [...]
HDR defense Alexandra Alvergne | "Écologie Évolutive de la Santé des Femmes : Approche Bioculturelle" (Evolutionary Ecology of Women's Health: A Biocultural Approach)
Université de Montpellier Place Eugène Bataillon - Salle de Cours 23-01 - Bâtiment 23 Place Eugène Bataillon, Montpellier, FranceAbstract: The evolutionary ecology of women's health: a biocultural approach Is being a woman a disease? This provocative question highlights the traditional pathologization of the female reproductive function in Western biomedicine since the 19th century. Recently, the social sciences have issued a call to move beyond 'bikini' research, i.e. to [...].
Microbiota Social Club | Alice Baniel
La Barbote 1 Rue des deux Ponts, Montpellier, FranceDid you know that almost 20% of our microbiota is acquired through our social interactions with the people we come into contact with? Yet little is known about the impact of this "social microbiota" on our health. Let's delve into the world of primates to understand just how crucial the exchange of microbes between social partners is for our survival [...].

Co-evolution of behavior and beliefs in social dilemmas: estimating material, social, cognitive and cultural determinants - Sergey Gavrilets
Université Montpellier Campus Triolet ISEM Salle Louis Thaler Bât 22 1st floor Place Eugène Bataillon, Montpellier, Languedoc Roussillon, FranceUnderstanding and predicting human cooperative behavior and beliefs dynamics remain a major challenge both from the scientific and practical perspectives. Because of the complexity and multiplicity of material, social and cognitive factors involved both empirical and theoretical work tend to focus only on some snippets of the puzzle. Recently, a mathematical theory has been proposed [...]

New Perspectives on Male Parenting in Primates: Insights from Baboons / Joan Silk
Université Montpellier Campus Triolet ISEM Salle Louis Thaler Bât 22 1st floor Place Eugène Bataillon, Montpellier, Languedoc Roussillon, FranceIn primates and other mammals, male care for immatures is generally restricted to species that form enduring pair bonds or breed cooperatively. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that there are alternate paths to the evolution of male care in nonhuman primate species. Natural selection has favored the evolution of some forms of male [...]
