So happy to see my first PhD paper out royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... With my amazing supervisor @robinmorrison.bsky.social and the @savinggorillas.bsky.social, we examined female dispersal decisions in mountain gorillas.

Female gorillas can change groups many times across their lives. These decisions are undoubtedly shaped by mating opportunities and infant protection, but what about the wider social relationships females have across groups? Check out this thread to see what we found!

Our paper on how capuchin pee smells, and why monkeys might rub it all over their bodies is now out in @royalsociety.org RSOS. Led by Alice Poirier, @nellekulick.bsky.social, & a great team of collaborators, this was a complicated but fascinating project. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

1/3 Chimpanzees combine their vocalizations to create new meanings. They have studied more than 4000 sequences of 53 chimpanzees from Taï (Côte d'Ivoire), and analyzed how combinations (16) of two vocalizations change their function. (paper) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
