“Locality – Adaptation” Research of Hydropower Resettlement Communities in the Jinsha River Basin: A Case Study of Ludila Hydropower Station by Fang WANG, Zhuoqi LI, Haoyi XU, Jiaqi YAN

“…Through multi-source data fusion (including remote sensing, demographic statistics, and compensation records) and field investigations, the research quantitatively analyzes the “locality – adaptation” reconstruction process of resettlement communities across the three spatial dimensions of living, production, and cultural spaces.Results1) Land cover evolution: Water storage of hydropower station inundates 37.12 km2 of land (including 21.61 km² of high-quality cultivated land), resulting in a loss of 43.68% of settlement production space. 2) Adjustment of architectural space: 65.8% of dwellings in the original villages are traditional timber-earth buildings with a tile roof, which adapt to the climate environment of concentrated rainfall and sufficient sunshine in the Jinsha River Basin. 48.7% of the resettlement sites adopt unified flat roof planning, and 51.3% realize functional optimization through self-construction or renovation, with the average renovation area reaching 230.9 m2. 3) Transformation of livelihood system: The annual compensation mechanism only restores 15.79% of the cultivated land allocation before resettlement, and the proportion of compensation income drops from 82.71% in the initial stage of relocation to 33.15% after long-term resettlement, driving the adjustment of crop structure to high value-added cash crops. 4) Cultural space reconstruction: In the context of the disappearance of traditional water transport functions, the three cultural relics reconstructed in different places show a symbolic turn. …”

Three points to strengthen the “stories-come-first” account of language origins: protostories, story-susceptibility, and pantomime by Marta Sibierska, Slawomir Wacewicz

“…Secondly, we suggest that Ferretti’s account of the evolution of the persuasiveness of stories should be strengthened by a more thorough analysis of the adaptiveness of listening to (and being persuaded by) stories. …”

Knuckle-walking and behavioural flexibility in great apes by Emily LR Tarrega-Saunders, Charlotte King, Alice M Roberts, Susannah KS Thorpe

“…We propose that knuckle-walking epitomises a shared inheritance of behavioural flexibility in chimpanzees and gorillas, rather than either a shared inheritance of knuckle-walking itself or independent evolution of knuckle-walking in response to different environmental pressures. …”

Adapting the facial action coding system for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) to bonobos (Pan paniscus): the ChimpFACS extension for bonobos by Catia Correia-Caeiro, Paul Henrik Kuchenbuch, Linda S. Oña, Franziska Wegdell, Maël Leroux, André Schuele, Jared Taglialatela, Simon Townsend, Martin Surbeck, Bridget M. Waller, Katja Liebal

“…To carry out cross species studies of facial behaviours within and beyond apes, it is essential to include bonobos. Hence, we aimed at adapting FACS for bonobos. We followed a similar methodology as in previous FACS adaptations: first, we examined the facial muscular plan of bonobos from previously published dissections. …”
