Dear BERGers,
This is a quick reminder we have a BERG meeting today (16:00) with Francesca Valdez (University of Stirling) talking about her MSc project on sex differences in emotional expressions. Please find the abstract below this email.
I hope to see you all later today!

Abstract:
Sex Differences in Emotional Expressions: An Evolutionary Adaptation
Francesca Valdez
Division of Psychology, University of Stirling
A substantial amount of research has gone into discovering sex differences between male and females. Particularly in non verbal communication and emotional expressions. Previous research in this field supports the claim that females are perceived as smiling more often than males and also that males rate women who smile more as more attractive on average. However, the explanations for this phenomenon are unclear. It is the objective of this paper to determine if smiling during early courtship interactions can effect the perceived desirability of a potential partner. This could have implications relating smiling behavior as a mating adaptation that could be used to signal mate value and potentiality as a long term partner. Here we show that there are strong correlations between the number of times a female smiled during the course of a first date and their perceived: likeability, motherhood abilities, attractiveness, abilities as a long term partner, agreeableness, and interest from the opposite sex. These variables were also analyzed for the male dater as well. The data was also analyzed for sex differences in perception between male and female responses. It was found that the number of smiles from both males and females were strongly correlated to perceptions of: how well the date went, if there would be a second date, likeability, interest from the opposite sex, parenting abilities, agreeableness, and long term partner abilities. Attractiveness was also correlated to the number of smiles but only moderately. These findings show that the emotional expression, smiling, is highly correlated to the perceived outcome of a first date.

Dear PEGG members and friends,
We received this from IPS.
Dear colleagues from the Affiliated Societies,
We would be very grateful if you would be able to share the following message about our online August symposium with your membership, either through email or social media.
We have had a lot of interest in our online August symposium, which is free for IPS members, but we are keen to make sure that people who are not currently IPS members are aware of it. In particular, if you are a range country primatologist membership is free, and so you can attend this meeting for free if you become a member now and then register before the deadline.
Registration deadline is August 10th.
IPS Online Symposium August 16-19th. One symposium per day, times staggered each day to accommodate attendees in different timezones. Registration info and more details of each symposium can be found here: https://ipsquito.com/latest-news/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fipsquito.…>
Mon 16th: Sociality & Health in Primates. From phageome to microbiome, stress to parasites, immunity and endocrinology - come find out about all the latest ways in which health and sociality in primates intersect. Organisers: Tatiana Murillo, Virgile Manin, Simone Anzà and Baptiste Sadoughi
Tues 17th: Voices from the Field: Assessing, Conserving, & Protecting Primate Populations. From primate diets and medicine, surviving in fragments, anthropogenic impacts, and undiscovered species. Organisers: Jennifer Cramer, Andrew Halloran, Stacy Lindshield, Paula Pebsworth, Jacob Willie, Inza Kone
Wed 18th: Titi Monkey Ecology and Conservation. Distribution, social interactions, conservation, monogamy, ecology, activity budgets and more. Organisers: Adrian A Barnett, Sarah A Boyle & João Pedro Souza-Alves
Thurs 19th: Round table discussion: Language and Conservation: Implications and Alternatives to New World/Old World and Other Terminology. Organisers: Karen B. Strier, Michelle Bezanson, and Liliana Cortes-Ortiz
We hope that you are all safe and healthy with your beloved ones and that we can see everyone in January 2022 in Quito, Ecuador.
All best wishes,
Júlio César Bicca-Marques
IPS, Secretary General

Dear Bergers, there’s a talk at the EPS meeting next Friday that might be of interest:
15:15 Josep Call (University of St Andrews) Ape inferential reasoning.
Full program and joining links here: https://eps.ac.uk/next-meeting/
Peter
Knowledge about the spatial and temporal continuity of objects as well as their relations with other
objects play a crucial role in inferential reasoning. Comparative approaches have mainly focused on
distinguishing inference from non-inferential processes, most notably heuristics based on attentional,
perceptual or motor predispositions, or heuristics acquired via associative processes. Comparative
researchers have devoted far less research attention to distinguishing weak from strong inferences, an
aspect that Susan Carey and her colleagues brought to my attention a few years ago. In this talk I
will classify the empirical evidence available in nonhuman primates regarding spatio-temporal
inferences (e.g., inference by exclusion) in terms of their strength. I will then use this evidence to
identify the gaps in our knowledge in this area and the connections that one can establish between
inference by exclusion and other areas of cognitive research such as probability estimation and
intuitive statistics from a comparative perspective.
