Happiness, cooperation and language

According to existing research across several disciplines (management, psychology, economics and neuroscience), positive mood can have positive effects, engendering more altruistic, open and helpful behaviour, but can also work through a more negative channel by inducing inward-orientation, assertiveness, and reduced use of information. This leaves the impact on cooperation in interactive and strategic situations unclear. We find evidence from 490 participants in a laboratory experiment suggesting that participants in an induced positive mood cooperate less in a repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma than participants in a neutral setting. This is robust to the number of repetitions or the inclusion of pre-play communication. In order to understand why positive mood might damage the propensity to cooperate, we conduct a language analysis of the pre-play communication between players. This analysis indicates that subjects in a more positive mood use more inward-oriented and more negative language

Besouros (Coleoptera) associados a carcaças de Sus scrofa Linnaeus em área de restinga na Paraíba

Beetles associated with decomposing carcasses in restinga environment, are being studied in this research, contributing information to forensic entomology, with respect to the estimated time of death of a body and translocation corpse. Four carcasses of pigs were used, two for each season in 2012. The carcasses were killed with a shot in the cranial region and placed in cages to prevent the action of scavengers. To collect beetles were used Shannon traps, pitfalls and collecting in the tray. We sampled 3,763 beetles belonging to 19 families and 96 species. The most abundant family was Histerid (n=1,406), followed by Staphylinidae (n=987) and Scarabaeidae (n=718). The family with the highest richness was Staphylinidae (S=23). The most species sampled were Euspilotus sp. 1 (n=930) Xerosaprinus diptychus (n=229) Euspilotus sp. 4 (n=155), Hypocaccus sp. (n=48) (Histeridae), Atheta sp. 1 (n=457), Hongophila sp. (n=269) Lissohypnus sp. (n=81), Philonthus sp. 1 (n=78) (Staphylinidae), Aidophus impressus (n=372), Dichotomius sp. gr geminatus (n=215), Parataenius simulator (n=64), Ateuchus sp. (n=46) (Scarabaeidae), Dermestes maculatus (n=143) (Dermestidae), Necrobia rufipes (n=104) (Cleridae) and Omorgus suberosus (n=78) (Trogidae). Due the difference in abundance and richness was observed seasonal behavior of beetles, since 80% were sampled in the rainy season and the richness ranged from 59 in this season to 26 in drought season. The succession of beetles varied from one station to another, probably due to the seasonal behvior. The nighttime show higher abundance of beetles (54%). The families with abundance above 70% during the night were Trogidae (78%), Tenebrionidae (74%) and Scarabaeidae (72%). None family had such value for daytime. The species referred to as potential forensic to restinga were D. maculates and N. rufipes by reproducing in the carcasses, and also Hypocaccus sp. and Bledius fernandezi by presenting a strict record of dunes and beach, similar environments studied here, suggesting that these species serve as indicators of the area.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESOs besouros associados a carcaças em decomposição, em ambiente de restinga, estão sendo estudados no presente estudo, visando contribuir com informações para a Entomologia Forense, no que diz respeito à estimativa do tempo de morte de um corpo e translocação de cadáver. Quatro carcaças de suínos foram utilizadas como isca para atração dos insetos, duas para cada estação climática em 2012. As carcaças foram mortas com um tiro na região craniana e colocadas em gaiolas para impedir a ação de animais necrófagos de grande porte. Para coleta dos besouros foram utilizadas armadilhas Shannon, pitfalls e coletas em bandeja. Foram coletados 3.763 besouros pertencentes a 19 famílias e 96 espécies. A família mais abundante foi Histeridae (n=1.406), seguida por Staphylinidae (n=987) e Scarabaeidae (n=718). A família que apresentou maior riqueza foi Staphylinidae (S=23). As espécies mais coletadas foram: Euspilotus sp. 1 (n=930), Xerosaprinus diptychus (n=229), Euspilotus sp. 4 (n=155), Hypocaccus sp. (n=48) (Histeridae), Atheta sp. 1 (n=457), Homalotina sp. (n=269), Neohypnus sp. (n=81), Philonthus hepaticus (n=78) (Staphylinidae), Aidophus impressus (n=372), Dichotomius sp. gr. geminatus (n=215), Parataenius simulator (n=64), Ateuchus sp. (n=46) (Scarabaeidae), Dermestes maculatus (n=143) (Dermestidae), Necrobia rufipes (n=104) (Cleridae) e Omorgus suberosus (n=78) (Trogidae). Devido à diferença de abundância e riqueza foi observado comportamento sazonal dos besouros, visto que 80% foram coletados na estação chuvosa e a riqueza variou de 59 nesta estação para 26 na estiagem. A sucessão dos besouros variou de uma estação para outra, provavelmente devido o comportamento sazonal. A maior abundância dos besouros foi observada no período noturno (54%), sendo as famílias que apresentaram abundância acima de 70% no período noturno foram Trogidae (78%), Tenebrionidae (74%) e Scarabaeidae (72%). Nenhuma família apresentou tal valor para o período diurno. As espécies indicadas como potencial forense para a restinga foram Dermestes maculatus e Necrobia rufipes por se reproduzirem nas carcaças, e também Hypocaccus sp. e Bledius fernandezi por apresentarem registro estrito a ambientes de dunas e praia, semelhantes ao aqui estudado, sugerindo-se que essas espécies sirvam como indicadores de área

First Record of Scirtidae (Coleoptera) Associated With Decaying Carcasses in the Neotropical Region

During a two-year study on the insect fauna associated with pig carcasses in an Atlantic forest remnant in João Pessoa, state of Paraíba, Brazil, 127 adult Scirtes sp. were collected. This is the first record of specimens of the family Scirtidae associated with carcasses in the Neotropical region.

Espécies de Calliphoridae (Diptera) associadas a carcaças de Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758 em área de restinga na Paraíba, Brasil, e espécies de importância forense para a estimativa do Intervalo Pós-Morte (IPM)

Os Calliphoridae são moscas cosmopolitas e importantes agentes na decomposição da matéria orgânica. Quando presentes em cadáveres humanos são úteis em investigações criminais, particularmente, na determinação do Intervalo Pós-Morte (IPM). O presente estudo foi realizado em uma área de restinga em distintos períodos climáticos. Armadilhas Shannon contendo uma carcaça de suíno (Sus scrofa) cada foram utilizadas na coleta das moscas adultas, já os imaturos foram coletados em bandejas sob as carcaças. Foram amostrados 3 499 indivíduos adultos pertencentes às espécies Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya albiceps, Cochliomyia macellaria, Chrysomya putoria, Lucilia eximia, Cochliomyia hominivorax e Chloroprocta idioidea. Seis das sete espécies apresentaram comportamento sazonal e quatro foram consideradas de importância forense na estimativa do IPM, por terem se desenvolvido nas carcaças
