These phenomena share a complex paroxysmal motor-respiratory interaction that is strongly influenced by emotional factors. For instance, while the layman commonly associates yawning with boring situations, it also typically evokes a feeling of pleasure, especially dur- ing a full yawn with tonic extension of the limbs. However, many aspects of yawning remain unknown, and it will surely come as a surprise to many of us to read in the following pages that yawning may also be considered a strong sexual signal! Dr. Olivier Walusinski is to be congratulated for putting together the fascinating chapters of this book, centered around a topic on which most neurologists would struggle to write more than a single sentence. The phylogenetic and ontogenetic (with fetal yawning) aspects highlight an interesting perspective on biological and human development, while the occurrence and features of yawning in neurological diseases also constitute an area that has only been explored by a few investigators. Dr. Walusinski is not merely one of these investigators, but an encyclopedic expert on yawning and its associated manifestations, as well as its neurobiological corre- lates. Moreover, it should be recognized that he has accumulated this large body of knowledge in parallel to his daily work as a general practitioner over the last 30 years! Acquiring scientific peer-recognition is not an easy task for an ‘outsider’, and we must say that the current result is beyond any of our initial expectations. Unlike most other books focusing on a specific neurological behavior or condition, the present work opens surprising windows into the history of neurology, human and animal behavior, and even philosophy; thus, making perfect ‘anti-yawn reading’!

  • Yawn Duration Predicts Brain Size in Wild Cats (Felidae)

    Yawn Duration Predicts Brain Size in Wild Cats (Felidae)

    ! "#$%&!'#! ()*+,)-!./!(011! 230+4-! 5))-6-)70)8)3! ! Yawn Duration Predicts Brain Size in Wild Cats (Felidae) Andrew C. Gallup1*, Brenna Crowe2, and Michael Yanchus2 1SUNY Polytechnic Institute, U.S.A. 2SUNY College at Oneonta, U.S.A. Recently, yawn duration was shown to be a robust predictor of brain size and complexity across a diverse sample of mammalian species. In particular, mammals with larger brains and more cortical neurons have longer yawns on average. Here, we investigated whether this relationship between yawn duration and brain size, which was previously at the taxonomic rank of class, is also present within a more restricted scale: a family of mammals. Using previously published data on brain weight and endocranial volumes among various field species within the family Felidae, we ran correlations with yawn durations obtained from openly accessible videos on the Internet. Consistent with previous findings, we show a strong linear relationship between yawn duration and both brain weight and brain volumes among wild cats. However, yawn duration was not significantly correlated with species body weight. Although limited to a small sample, these results provide convergent evidence for an important and general neurophysiologic function to yawning and highlight the utility of measuring yawn duration in comparative research. Yawning is characterized by a powerful gaping of the jaw with inspiration, a brief period of peak muscle contraction and a passive closure of the jaw with shorter expiration (Barbizet, 1958). Yawning or yawn- like mandibular gaping patterns have been documented across vertebrate classes (Baenninger, 1987), suggesting it is an evolutionarily conserved behavior with adaptive value.

Nonhuman primates maintained in captivity have a valuable role in education and research. They are also occasionally used in entertainment. The scope of these activities can range from large, accredited zoos to small “roadside” exhib- its; from national primate research centers to small academic institutions with only a few monkeys; and from movie sets to street performers. Attached to these uses of primates comes an ethical responsibility to provide the animals with an environment that promotes their physical and behavioral health and well-be- ing.

However, assessing dominance hierarchy can be a time-consuming activity which 15 is potentially impeded by environmental factors, difficulties in the recognition of animals, or 16 through the disturbance of animals during data collection. Here we took advantage of novel 17 devices, Machines for Automated Learning and Testing (MALT), designed primarily to study 18 nonhuman primates’ cognition - to additionally measure the social structure of a primate group. 19 When working on a MALT, an animal can be replaced by another; which could reflect an 20 asymmetric dominance relationship (or could happen by chance). To assess the reliability of our 21 automated method, we analysed a sample of the automated conflicts with video scoring and found 22 that 75% of these replacements include genuine forms of social displacements.

Increasingly more information has been published about primates in agroecosystems but a general synthesis of the diversity of agroecosystems that primates use or which primate taxa are able to persist in these anthropogenic components of the landscapes is still lacking. Because of the continued extensive transformation of primate habitat into human-modified landscapes, it is important to explore the extent to which agroecosystems are used by primates. In this article, we reviewed published information on the use of agroecosystems by primates in habitat countries and also discuss the potential costs and benefits to human and nonhuman primates of primate use of agroecosystems.

Even though with advancements in science, the scientific community has been able to decode the mechanisms and mysteries behind most of the physiological functions of the body, but we still do not have clear answers to this common activity that all of us experience numerous times on a daily basis. It is the enigma surrounding yawning that makes it all more intriguing. A lot of hypotheses and theories have been proposed since the times of Hippocrates. With more modern neuroimaging methods and bioassays avail- able now, more meticulous inquiry is being increasingly made to elucidate a rational and scientifically sound physiological basis of yawning.
