Call for Papers for Special Issue

In the Special Issue, “Primates and Invertebrate Prey”, guest edited by Leila Porter, we will present a wide range of new research. The articles will cover a broad range of taxa (e.g. tarsiers to orangutans), and foci (e.g. parasites, dental morphology, nutrition, behavior) to highlight the important importance of understanding howinvertebrate prey contributes to our understanding of primates as predators.

Special Issue of Behaviour on “Emotions and Social Behaviour: Integrating Human, Animal, and Artificial Perspectives”

This special issue, guest edited by Fabiola Diana, builds on the inaugural Workshop on Cross-species Emotion Research (CSE) at ISRE 2024, which brought together scholars from fields such as emotion science, evolutionary biology, social cognition, affective computing, psychology, human-robot interaction (HRI), and philosophy. The issue focuses on understanding emotions as central drivers of social behaviour across species, exploring their origins, expressions, and roles in shaping interactions within and across human, non-human animals, and artificial systems.
