Mon m essai sur la place du temps en biologie et sur la complexité de la durée du vivant est sorti aujourd’hui !
Ça parle de Bergson mais aussi des pollinisateurs et d’écologie, de théories bancales et des histoires complexes qui tissent les cultures animales.
The next session of our seminar is tomorrow!
Christopher Joseph Gonzalez will talk about normative agency in nonhumans !
All info on how to join can be found here : animalinventiveness.com/post…

There are many links between play and love/tenderness. The way the two intertwine when it comes to the co-invention of shared behaviours and signals between members of different species is one subject we aim to explore…

New paper! @AmJBioAnth
We found the Kinda baboons have long-lasting female-male relationships that are largely male-driven and persist across female reproductive states.
