📢New paper alert 📢 Signalling during approaches in two sympatric primates species indicates that strong fission-fusion dynamics increase challenges related to coordination and relationship maintenance, promoting signaling production and reciprocity. www.animalbehaviorandcognition.org/article.php?...

I did my undergraduate and Diplom (MSc) in Bielefeld. Super start to really understand the principles of Animal Behaviour. It will be a great start for a successful career ...

Today is #WorldChimpanzeeDay in memory of the first day that #JaneGodall started her long-term study on the Gombe chimpanzees in 1960. 65 years of following the chimps at the shore of Lake Tanganyika. Today chimpanzees are endangered to get extinct. The Western chimpanzee is critically endangered.

How do broomrapes find their hosts? How can they specialise on different hosts? Enter the astonishing world of strigolactones . youtu.be/mUp9n_RW2eg?...

Look out for the epic story of Homo sapiens ...

This is what we need: criminalizing creation of disinformation. As Pierre-Henri Gouyon said follow the money lto know if results hold an independent test. Oil and chemical industry will fuel any doubt in climate change and biodiversity loss due to their actions. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Great work done by @elerolland.bsky.social at the @taichimpproject.bsky.social Looking forward to follow ups

If you want to learn about principles in ecology ... this is your channel !!!

To end this 🧵, a video to illustrate how an evening swim at La Réserve de Nice, in the warm, clear waters of the Mediterranean, filled with a diverse array of beautiful fish & other marine life, was the perfect way to end days at #UNOC3 discussing how to save the world's coastal ecosystems. 14/14

Social engineering includes the oil and chemical industry. Follow the money 💰!!!

President Macron opens #UNOC3 today with hope for the future of our shared ocean, the High Seas, announcing that 15 more countries have formally committed to join the #RaceForRatification! 🎉We’re looking forward to hearing who those are as we get closer and closer to the 60!

Another great paper from the Budongo chimpanzees. Another good reason to support research with money over decades. Thanks to Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, Budongo Conservation Field Station, Vernon Reynolds, Klaus Zuberbühler and Cat Hobaiter. www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco...

“Something had been loosened worldwide,” with rage everywhere. We all recognise this rage but Ardern was at the centre, representing progressive politics, tough Covid measures, empathy, emotion, anti-racism, femaleness; a symbol of a different time, more rational, kinder, when rules meant something”

When chimpanzee Emma died in Jan 2018 and we were able to extract the first brain of a wild #chimpanzee for postmortem MRI scans, none of us thinking we would find such an arcuate fascicle ... thanks to @lirsamuni.bsky.social who was with Emma to the bitter end 🙏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excellent work by @elerolland.bsky.social and members of the @taichimpproject.bsky.social ... attachment styles in wild #chimpanzees

Right for the weekend!

Some first news digests regarding the new paper on call combinations and how #chimpanzees create new meaning. This is very exciting to see this finally out. Thanks to a great team. www.sciencenews.org/article/chim...

Whopper paper ... a must to read to understand the Evolution of Language!

Great collaboration with @nakedprimate.bsky.social and many others.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

The Republic of Congo plans to nearly double its oil production over the next three years, including drilling in protected areas like Conkouati-Douli National Park, an expansion which directly contradicts the country’s climate commitments made at the 2023 U.N. climate conference.

Happy 99th Birthday Sir David #Attenborough - and thank you for your never ending work to save the fauna and flora of our planet. www.taichimpproject.org/media-pr?wix...

There’s no mystery to innovation and economic growth; the US must nurture its scientists or find out the hard way, says Michael S. Lubell, former director of public affairs at the American Physical Society. https://go.nature.com/3GIZ40Z

Mongabay founder Rhett A. Butler reflects on 20 years since the start of Mongabay News - from toiling to produce several hundred articles a year by himself to Mongabay's global team being on track to publish more than 7,000 stories across 6 languages.

The scientific news from America is grim. The Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) has resigned and hundreds of existing grants are ending. NSF grant money isn't paid out in a chunk at the start - you invoice as you need it, so gov can just stop paying. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
