Happy World Chimpanzee Day! youtu.be/vFMkWCivAC8?...

Happy World Chimpanzee Day! What started with one woman has turned into an annual celebration. This year, that woman – Dr. Jane Goodall – won't be here to take part in the big day. But that can't stop us from carrying her work forward. Photos: Hugo van Lawick / National Geographic / Fernado Turmo

Are you a scientist with an interest in photography? We're delighted to announce that the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition is now open for entries until 14 August 2026! 🎉 Find out more: royalsociety.org/journals/pub... #RSPphotocomp

Great work, @sheinalew.bsky.social! Will be a classic reference

Dream PhD opening! Innovation in wild falcons! Application deadline Aug 1🦅

Today is #WorldChimpanzeeDay, a chance to highlight why safeguarding this CMS-listed species also means protecting its unique cultures, which human activity is putting at risk. Discover how CMS is helping bring animal culture into conservation: www.cms.int/conservation...

New study 🚨🚨🚨 Using fecal samples collected over 17 years, we tracked antibiotic resistance genes in wild chimpanzees in Taï National Park; one of the last remaining chunks of primary rainforests in West Africa. Study out now in @isme-microbes.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Fab symposium on primate cultures last Thursday at #EFP2026. Thanks to all speakers and my co-organizers.

Angela (Entropika) shared decades of work on Nancy Ma’s night monkey in the Colombia–Peru–Brazil border region: from fieldwork, genetics to legal action and education, helping uplist it to Endangered and end biomedical use in Colombia Outstanding, relentless, inspiring work #EFP2026 #Conservation

Delighted to have presented the first findings from my PhD on the cognitive foundations of compositionality in Guinea baboons and bees—at #EFP2026. It was an incredibly enriching week of inspiring talks, stimulating discussions, and great meetings. Looking forward to coming back in two years! 🐒🐝

At the end of #EFP2026 a great party with everybody ... jolly good 👍 👌 😋

During the evening of day 4 #EFP2026 we listened to beautiful homages dedicates to Jane Goodall and Biruté Galdikas. Thanks to Anne Pusey, Michael Wilson and Alison Ashbury for their moving words and slides

Also on day 4 #EFP2026, we had our Animal Culture symposium ... wonderfull presentations! The idea was born during a visit by Claudio Tenny in Lyon last year.

On day 4 #EFP2026 I saw a Banksy or Not? in Montpellier...

Day 3 #EFP2026 continued with fabulous presentations by students from the Taï Chimpanzee Project talking about chimpa zee self- medication and leaf clipping context variability across the four communities. Well done to Alphonse and Marine for good presentations.

Day 3 ##EFP2026 started with a fabulous talk by Liran Samuni, co-director of the Taï Chimpanzee Project, comparing social behaviour and cooperation of wild chimpanzees and wild bonobos.

The Taï chimpanzees have featured prominently during the talks of the first day at #EFP2026, showing how long-term data greatly support the research of today. Long lasting field sites are important to answer the big questions.

Wonderful start of the meeting of the European Federation of Primatology in Montpellier, France. Have a look at the spread of representatives from African countries. #EFP2026

The research team of the #TaiChimpanzeeProject , under the lead of Catherine Crockford, is shortlisted for the Coller-Dolittle Award 2026. Join the award ceremony and listen to the exciting research on animal communication. Register here 👇

Bonne chance aux Éléphants ce soir. Ce soir, je ne peux que gagner. Longue vie aux chimpanzés du Parc national de Taï !

There are many lessons to be learned here: one of them is that the survival of our primate cousins and our-selves are interconnected. www.linkedin.com/posts/agenon...

One of the most thoughtful, carefully-phrased, pieces I have read on the topic: lots of good progress in recent years showing how we may have under-appreciated the structural complexity of non-human communicative signals 🧪 By @tozbu.bsky.social @taichimpproject.bsky.social & R. Wittig

📣NEW paper📣 To date, only humans demonstrate meaning-based, generative communication. However, recent discoveries of combinatorial versatility in chimpanzee + bonobo vocal sequences open the possibility of generative communication in other species.

We are deeply grateful to Sir David Attenborough showing his passion for the Taï chimpanzees, supporting them despite them giving him the "most exhausting time of his life". Happy 100th Birthday 🎂 www.taichimpproject.org/media-pr?wix...

Yesterday, at the same spot the foto was taken almost 40 years ago (see below), a group of researchers of the Taï Chimpanzee Project gathered to send b-day greetings to Sir David Attenborough.

📣 NEW PAPER ALERT 📣 Coordination challenges shape signal complexity in chimpanzees, but not in mangabeys. This paper is adding strength to the broader hypothesis that social complexity is a principal driver of the evolution of complex signalling. Read here👇 royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

Congratulations to Dr. Jaffe for successfully defending her PhD. Out best wishes for your future career, Jenny.

🚨 Cultural evolution paper alert

Big congrats to Dr. Tina Petersen for successfully defending her PhD on tool use in chimpanzees at the Univ. of St Andrews with minor revisions. Tina's PhD results on hammer transport in Taï chimpanzees is in preparation for publication. Great work, Tina, and thanks to Josep Call for collaboration.

Congratulations to Dr. TINA PETERSEN for successfully defending her PhD on tool use in chimpanzees at the University of St. ANDREWS with minor revisions. Great collaboration with Josep Call and TCP. Looking forward to more research like this.

A rare sight at our present location, CrystalGully: a leopard mother with two cubs. Enjoy, and when you've done, visit us at chimpandsee.org and find exquisite sights yourself!

Exciting research by our former PhD student @aurianelf.bsky.social in collaboration with @zuberbuehler.bsky.social and Steven Moran. Using context as a proxy, changing the order of utterances of a vocal bigram can change meaning of the bigram in sooty mangabeys.

NEW paper alert 📣 The idea, that tool use entails more complexity than serial behavioral sequences, is out there a while. However, proving such hierarchical organization and comparing it across tasks or even species was impossible. We present a possibility to finally investigate it: rdcu.be/faxGa
