Overview

Gabriele Schino is affiliated with Sapienza University of Rome in Italy and conducts research primarily in the field of Psychology, with a focus on Social Psychology as a key subfield. Their work also intersects with Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Sociology and Political Science, and Developmental Biology.

The main research topics covered by Schino include:

  • Primate Behavior and Ecology
  • Animal Behavior and Reproduction
  • Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior
  • Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
  • Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior
  • Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies
  • Evolutionary Game Theory and Cooperation

Schino has published numerous scientific papers, with recent notable contributions such as:

  • "Do capuchin monkeys engage in calculated reciprocity?", 2021, Animal Behaviour
  • "Testing the two sides of indirect reciprocity in tufted capuchin monkeys", 2020, Behavioural Processes
  • "Attention to social stimuli is modulated by sex and exposure time in tufted capuchin monkeys", 2020, Animal Behaviour

In addition to their own works, Schino frequently coauthors with several researchers, including:

  • Filippo Aureli
  • Elsa Addessi
  • Massimiliano Di Giovanni
  • Bonaventura Majolo
  • Fabrizio Dell'Anna

The most common venues where Schino's research has been published comprise:

  • American Journal of Primatology
  • Animal Behaviour
  • Behavioural Processes
  • Ethology
  • Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences

Schino has explored topics related to the social and communicative behaviors of non-human primates, examined anxiety indicators in spider monkeys, and investigated mechanisms of reciprocity in capuchin monkeys. The studies often analyze behavioral processes and social structures through both observational and experimental paradigms.

Through interdisciplinary approaches linking psychology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, Schino's research contributes data on both proximate mechanisms and evolutionary contexts of animal behavior, especially among primate species.
