New paper! We use simulations to test received wisdom on the observational sampling method to use and find that Altmann 1974 was right all along (never bet against Jeanne!). Focal follows capture rare, fleeting behaviours, scans captures long, common behaviours. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
New paper! Being more facially expressive has social network benefits, especially in women. May explain why highly expressive faces have evolved in humans!

How do social networks become adaptive? From self-organisation and phase transitions to cultural learning, social networks are shaped by feedback between individual interactions and collective dynamics. Check my new @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social paper www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper alert! Facially expressive people are more popular when strangers meet in group settings, supporting the hypothesis that facial expression has evolved to form and maintain social connections. Alisa Balabanova's PhD with @eithnekavanagh.bsky.social and Tom Kupfer
