Resting-state functional connectivity between core regions of fronto-temporal auditory networks can distinguish music transmitters from innovators.

The rapid and gradual fin whale songs changes adopted by individuals of a certain area provide evidence of vocal learning in this species, elucidate patterns of song evolution and hints on the limits of song variation.

A mathematical model was used to establish a simple conceptual basis for why super-spreader events fundamentally drive the spread of SARS-CoV-2 but not influenza.

A novel, hybrid segmentation technique reveals human heterogeneity in barriers towards a behavior, and is applied to characterize distinct segments in voluntary medical male circumcision.

Tailoring instructive experience to individual genetic biases improves vocal learning outcomes across genetic backgrounds in the Bengalese finch.

Social connectivity increases an individual’s likelihood of behavioural adoption if the learning rule depends on the extent of social connections to informed others, but is unrelated when learning depends on the ratio of connections to informed versus uninformed others.

Fevers amongst African children are often assumed to be caused by a malaria infection, but here it is estimated that the majority of fevers amongst African children, including those with a patent malaria infection, are due to infections with diseases other than malaria.

Tool behaviour of long-tailed macaques leaves archaeological signatures that differ between populations despite similar ecological conditions, highlighting the potential for diversity in material culture.

Bonobo groups that share overlapping ranging areas and engage in regular social exchange show "behavioural group identity" of hunting techniques in the absence of local ecological variation.

New evidence that neighboring communities of bonobos hunt different prey species, despite extensive overlaps in where they live and hunt, is difficult to explain without invoking cultural factors.
