If you are wondering whether given the chance chimps recreate the famous bone-throwing scene from 2001 Space Odyssey, have a look at this paper we published a couple of years ago.

New year, new paper! We continue to unpick the interplay between ecological upheaval and sociality and show altered social structure could result in 2x disease transmission rates. Senior authored by the unstoppable @ctestard.bsky.social. In Ecology Letters: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
