happy to announce a new paper by @richardvogg.bsky.social and MANY colleagues from our SFB (@uni-goettingen.de & @primatenzentrum.bsky.social): They present PriMAT, our robust AI model to track different primate species in their natural habitates in the wild: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

New publication from the Fichtel-Kappeler-Lab (@kirindy.bsky.social) is out in Animal Cognition: @elifkarakoc.bsky.social, @richardvogg.bsky.social & colleagues show: competence pays – briefly Red-fronted lemurs could learn to obtain food from food boxes ... link.springer.com/article/10.1...

People in Göttingen who are interested in monkey research 🐒 and AI: I will be giving a talk at this year's Pint of Science 🍻. Tickets are now available, also check out all the other interesting topics! [Small "warning": My talk will be in German but it will contain many cute monkey and lemur videos]

📢 Fully-funded PhD opportunity! Explore the links between social & communication networks in ring-tailed lemurs! Exciting fieldwork, interdisciplinary team, and innovative technologies! Apply now and join @primatenzentrum.bsky.social & @unigoettingen.bsky.social for this cutting-edge research!

A Perspective from the Ecker lab discusses the progress and challenges of using computer vision approaches for behavior studies of primates in natural environments. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

SFB Paper Alert! That’s teamwork: 14 SFB members across nine projects put together a perspective paper on “Computer vision for primate behavior analysis in the wild”, which was published in @naturemethods.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's a 2-paper kinda week 😎 Exciting news for animal behaviour researchers! Our new paper is out now in @naturemethods.bsky.social, exploring the intersection of computer vision and animal behaviour. Congrats to lead author @richardvogg.bsky.social and everyone who worked so hard on this one 🧵1/2
