Abstract The study of great ape cognition offers insights into the evolutionary origins of human intelligence, but is hindered by small sample sizes and restricted access to data. To address this, we present the EVApeCognition Dataset, a publicly available resource comprising 262 experimental datasets from 150 scientific publications from the Wolfgang Köhler Primate Research Center (2004–2021) in Leipzig, Germany.

Maternal time budgets of feral goats at high latitudes in northwest Europe.

| BioRxiv
Abstract Reproduction is energetically expensive for mammals, and especially so during lactation. In large-brained mammals such a primates, females invest heavily in additional feeding to fuel the costs of lactation. The evidence is more mixed in ruminant ungulates. We examine the foraging costs of lactating female feral goats living under environmentally challenging conditions in the northwest of Scotland where these effects are most likely to be exaggerated.

Insectivorans and Carnivorans Exhibit the Same Social Brain Relationship as Primates

|
By Robin Dunbar, Susanne Shultz
| BioRxiv
Abstract It has previously been thought that the social brain hypothesis applies in its full quantitative form only to primates. Using more appropriate brain indices and less error-prone statistical methods, we here show that it does in fact apply to both Insectivorans and Carnivorans, as well as to elephants and orcas.
