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 Roussillon

Wild 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, France

Abstract: 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, France

Did 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, France

Understanding 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 [...]

The event will take place in person, and will be followed by an aperitif at the picnic tables outside Building 22.

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, France

In 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 [...]

Between evolutionary biology and experimental economics: A cross-section of local adaptation in human populations

MSH South 71 Rue Henri Serre, Montpellier, France

Les différentes populations humaines ne sont ni homogènes culturellement, ni uniforme génétiquement.Traditionnellement, on considère que culture et gènes sont complètement indépendants, mais est-ce bien le cas ?Lors de l’expansion des populations au travers des différents continents, l’espèce humaine a rencontré localement des environnements différents pour le climat, les parasites, l’alimentation, etc. Elle s’y est adaptée, […]
