SUMMARY:Gary Brase - How to incite a scientific revolution: A practical framework of converging evidence for behavioral sciences integration [Note special time and location]
DESCRIPTION:How to incite a scientific revolution: A practical framework of converging evidence for behavioral sciences integration\nGary Brase\nKansas State University\nIf science is about the pursuit of truth\, why do so many scientists disagree? Everyone should agree\, at least on most things\, according to the idea that there is a consistency of sciences. Others point out that science instead has repeated revolutions\, in which one worldview is overthrown for a new worldview. The aim of this work is to outline a way to move behavioral sciences towards greater unity with an integrated framework (possibly inciting revolutions in the process). This is a more practical rather than philosophical approach\, that is designed for researchers and others to use as a framework for better evaluating and advancing their chosen research topics. This work integrates previous frameworks (Marr’s computational framework\, Tinbergen’s four questions\, Schmitt & Pilcher’s converging evidence model) to be more comprehensive\, complete\, and specifically for the behavioral sciences. The goal is to help behavioral scientists\, and other people who pay attention to and evaluate science\, with a framework for thinking about topics. We will talk about the advantages and issues of this integrated framework\, and examples of using the framework for specific topics. \nNote: This event will be held on a Thursday\, at the Discourse Lab in Haines Hall\, which has limited space (15 people max). Arrive early to get a seat. Also\, lunch will not be served for this event. \n

SUMMARY:Irene Godoy - Kinship as constraint: Social aging in kin-structured groups
DESCRIPTION:Kinship as constraint: Social aging in kin-structured groups\nIrene Godoy\nCentre for Research in Animal Behaviour (CRAB)\, University of Exeter\nThe dramatic increase in human life expectancy poses new challenges for health care systems. Among those challenges is that social isolation and loneliness as risk factors for mortality are highest among the elderly. We know that the social networks of adults tend to decrease in size with advancing age. However\, what factors influence the rate at which an individual’s social network decreases? The answers to this question are critical to inform interventions aimed at improving late-life outcomes. In my talk\, I will discuss comparative research in free-ranging\, long-lived species to address age-related declines in human social integration. I will focus on non-human primates because of their close evolutionary link to humans and their long lifespans. Research in non-human primates has demonstrated similar age-related declines in sociality\, though the drivers of these patterns are not well-understood. Group-living primates typically show strong kin biases in their association patterns. One key factor that may thus contribute to individual differences in social aging is kinship dynamics\, as the type and number of close kin available changes across an individual’s lifespan. Drawing on data from a wild capuchin population\, I will present results showing that both males and females show declines in their rates of spatial association as they age. Interestingly\, age-related declines vary depending on the kinship relationship with social partners\, and these effects are sex dependent. I will discuss how these (and other) results shed light on some of the myriad ways in which kinship dynamics may place constraints on how ‘social’ individuals can remain across development.
