Speaker:
Dr. Julie Dubosq, Eco-Anthropology Lab, Primates-Environment Interactions Team, CNRS-MNHN-Paris Diderot, Paris, France

This event is part of an event series „Animal Sociality Seminar “.

As part of the newly established Animal Sociality Seminar Dr. Julie Dubosq (Eco-Anthropology Lab, Primates-Environment Interactions Team, CNRS-MNHN-Paris Diderot, Paris, France) will talk about: How social transmission can inform about the costs and benefits of sociality

Dr. Dubosq is a behavioural biologist interested in the evolution, functions and mechanims of sociality. She mainly studies social relationships and social processes in macaques in order to understand how and why they form and maintain relationships. She is also interested in social transmission of behaviour and parasites/pathogens, which is tightly linked to the evolution of sociality. Who transmit what to whom, when, how, according to which rules are all questions she is investigating. The structure of a society greatly influences the patterns of social transmission, but less studied is the other side of that coin, how transmission affects the structure and evolution of society.

I warmly invite you to see her presentation and afterwards join us for lunch and/or dinner (please let me know so I can reserve a table). Please also let me know if you are interested in meeting her and I'll include you in the schedule.
