BERG seminar -- Lucie Rigaill
by Sharon Kessler 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Dear Bergers, I'm delighted to announce that this week's BERG seminar, Wednesday April 5th, at 4pm online, will be Dr Lucie Rigaill from Université Rennes. The title of her talk is, "Multimodal sexual communication in Afro-Eurasian monkeys." The abstract, teams link, and schedule of future talks are below: Abstract Reproduction is a crucial activity for all animal species. Individuals have to find mating opportunities, defend partners, and mate at the appropriate timing to maximize their reproductive success while dealing with the cost associated with reproduction (e.g., production of gametes, physiological stress).To guide their mating decision, individuals exchange information about their attributes and status through multiple sensory modalities. I have been studying how primates strategically mate using sexual communication and especially ovulatory signals in several species of Afro-Eurasian monkeys (olive baboons, Japanese macaques, cherry-crowned mangabeys, humans). I will present some of my results on the role of female visual (skin coloration, swelling), auditory (vocalisation), and olfactory(vaginal secretion) modalities in ovulatory signalling and mating strategies.

BERG Seminar - Maria Ojala (Climate Change Worry)
by Sharon Kessler 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Dear Bergers, I'm delighted to announce that this week, our BERG seminar will be given by Maria Ojala from Örebro University, Sweden, at 4pm online. The title is, "Climate Change Worry Among Young People: Associations with Mental Wellbeing, Climate Change Engagement, and the Role of Coping." Below is the abstract of the talk, the link, and the schedule of upcoming talks. Abstract Many young people worry about climate change. Is this worry related to hopelessness and low wellbeing, or is it rather related to climate engagement? Research shows that young people are not victims of whatever climate change related emotions that are aroused in them but actively cope in different ways. The focus in this presentation is on research with young people in the ages from late childhood, through adolescence, up to young adulthood about their worry and how they cope and how these coping strategies and worry relate to engagement and subjective wellbeing. The importance of meaning-focused coping and constructive hope will be emphasized.
