Assistant Prof @sunyoswego studying the effects of social interactions on development, behavior, lifespan, and the evolution of plasticity. All opinions mine.
Joined January 2018
New in @ScienceAdvances: Why does adult social isolation predict survival? Is it because isolated individuals are already unhealthy due to early life adversity? Or do adult social environments directly cause poor health and increased mortality risk?

Early life environments and adult social bonds have strong, but largely independent effects on survival in wild baboons.

At long last my final dissertation chapter gets to see the light of day: https://t.co/bPsxB9bet5 . We start with a simple observation -- bad experiences during early life predict increased mortality in adulthood (in many species). But why? 1/n

The early life environment can profoundly shape the trajectory of an animal’s life, even years or decades later. One mechanism proposed to contribute to these early life effects is DNA methylation....

But females who have bad early lives are not doomed! If they establish strong bonds or high social status in adulthood, the negative effects of early life adversity are reduced via social buffering. Making friends is important!

Instead, both early life and adult social bonds independently affect survival.

We find that female baboons who experience more adversity in early life are socially isolated and have reduced survival as adults. However, we have limited evidence for a strong connection from early life adversity through social bonds to survival.

Specifically, we asked how early life experiences and adult social environments affect adult survival in @AmboseliBaboons.

Our results say it’s both and support a growing change in perspective, away from “either-or” hypotheses and towards a multi-causal perspective that points to multiple opportunities to mitigate the effects of poor early lives.
