Lipsmacking behaviour is a rhythmic facial expression (rapid closing and opening of the mouth) observed in many non-human primate species. It is an affiliative signal, which means that it sends a positive message and promotes affiliative interactions. Emotional regulation is central to the occurrence of affiliative behaviours since they require one individual to express their sensations and motivations and another individual to perceive the emotions of the first. Animals must regulate their emotional experience. For this emotional regulation to occur, signals, such as the lipsmacking behaviour, are produced for the exchange of emotional information. In capuchin monkeys, lipsmacking is usually directed at infants.

We are living in a world of increasing social divisions that shape the way we interact with one another. Do these social divisions also affect our health? After all, from children eating cake sprinkled with a bit of saliva from an over exuberant birthday boy to fans exchanging jeers and airborne particles at the championship game, our social behaviors are regularly seized on by pathogens as opportunities to infect new hosts. Beyond potential fodder for gossip on local message boards, the way that we interact with our neighbors may determine how infectious diseases spread between us. In our new paper “Social divisions and risk perception drive divergent epidemics and large later waves,” we develop a mathematical model to show how group differences in risk perception and behavior can transform how outbreaks unfold.
