The evolutionary drivers of primate scleral coloration

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Alex S. Mearing from the DepartmentUniversity of have published the research: The evolutionary drivers of primate scleral coloration, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
  • what: The authors compare scleral brightness with three behavioural measures: proactive prosociality, social tolerance, and conspecific lethal violence. The authors show that scleral pigmentation varies with differences in social behaviours between primate species.
  • future: Future research may utilise contrast measures between the iris u00adsclera5610 u00adskin110 and/ or u00adpupil1040 to better evaluate the cooperative eye hypothesis versus the self-domestication hypothesis which would not require ocular contrast values . . .
