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!
