Vocal behaviour predicts mating success in giant pandas by Benjamin D. Charlton, Meghan S. Martin-Wintle, Megan A. Owen, Hemin Zhang, Ronald R. Swaisgood

“…Surprisingly little is known about how mammal vocal signals are used to achieve behavioural synchrony in the lead up to copulation. The ability to signal short-term fluctuations in arousal levels and behavioural intention is likely to be particularly important for synchronizing mating behaviour in asocial species, which must overcome their natural avoidance and aggressive tendencies to mate. …”

Sex differences in feeding activity results in sexual segregation of feral goats by Dunbar, R, Shi, J

“…We show, in a high latitude population of feral goats where behavioural synchrony and fission rates have been shown to be the best explanation for segregation, that it is differences explicitly in the feeding time requirements of the two sexes (but not those for other activities) that best explains the variations in monthly frequencies of segregation. …”

Red deer synchronise their activity with close neighbours by Sean A. Rands, Hayley Muir, Naomi L. Terry

“…One such set of assumptions is that the switch between active and inactive behaviour seen in herding animals is influenced by the activity of close neighbours, where neighbouring animals show a higher degree of behavioural synchrony than would be expected by chance. We tested this assumption by observing the simultaneous behaviour of paired individuals within a herd of red deer Cervus elaphus. …”

Collective synchrony increases prosociality towards non-performers and out-group members by Reddish, P, Tong, E, Jong, J, Lanman, J, Whitehouse, H

“…Previous research has found that behavioural synchrony between people leads to greater prosocial tendencies towards co-performers. …”

Fertility, kinship and the evolution of mass ideologies. by David-Barrett, T, Dunbar, R

“…To capture this phenomenon, we used a model of kinship lineages to build populations with a range of fertility levels combined with a behavioural synchrony model to measure the efficiency of collective action generated on kin networks within populations. …”

Sexual segregation among feral goats: testing between alternative hypotheses by Calhim, S, Shi, J, Dunbar, R

“…We analysed data on the patterns of fission, behavioural synchrony and neighbourhood in relation to party size and composition to show that the activity budget hypothesis is the more likely. …”

Positive emotions foster spontaneous synchronisation in a group movement improvisation task by Andrii Smykovskyi, Marta M. N. Bieńkiewicz, Simon Pla, Stefan Janaqi, Benoît G. Bardy

“…Our results demonstrate that individuals induced with positive emotions, as opposed to negative emotions or a neutral state, maintained behavioural synchrony with other group members for a longer period of time. …”

Synchrony as a measure of conversation difficulty: Movement coherence increases with background noise level and complexity in dyads and triads. by Lauren V Hadley, Jamie A Ward

“…Not only do these studies replicate prior work indicating interlocutors' increased reliance on behavioural synchrony as task difficulty increases, but they demonstrate these effects using multiple difficulty manipulations and across different sized interaction groups.…”

Parenting stress undermines mother-child brain-to-brain synchrony : a hyperscanning study by Leck, W. Q., Azhari, Atiqah, Gabrieli, Giulio, Bizzego, Andrea, Rigo, Paola, Setoh, Peipei, Bornstein, Marc H., Esposito, Gianluca

“…Parenting stress has been shown to undermine mother-child behavioural synchrony. However, it has yet to be discerned whether parenting stress affects brain-to-brain synchrony during everyday joint activities. …”

Positive indicators of cattle welfare and their applicability to on-farm protocols by Giuseppe De Rosa, Fernando Grasso, Ute Knierim, Fabio Napolitano

“…Although validity and reliability need more studies, behaviour synchrony seems to be a promising positive welfare indicator as the instantaneous scan sampling technique makes this indicator easily applicable. …”
