Despite the evident similarities, one of the two is obviously more equipped with leadership skills... Gibraltar Macaques Project #gibraltar

Spent some time with Ape’s Den troop this evening and captured this funny moment … couldn’t resist a caption 🐵 Thanks to Gibraltar Macaques Project for sharing the interesting work they are carry out on the rock too! #barbarymacaques #macaques #phdresearch #gibraltar

Summer field season is over! Will be back soon! Thanks to Federica Landi and Jessica Frater for their invaluable help, and to GONHS Gibraltar, HM Government of Gibraltar, Cambridge University Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth The British Academy for making this research possible #Gibraltar #macaques

Happy to share and exchange about the Barbary macaques with Durham Anthropology

Coco, an adult, and high rank male from Royal Anglian Way troop 🐵 Mating season is soon approaching, which means that males will be dispersing from their natal groups. Looking forward to tracking some of their movements #barbarymacaques #primates #phdresearch #gibraltar

Gibraltar is not only about macaques, but also #endemicwildlife #marinewildlife and #archaeology with Gorham's cave, where Neanderthals used to live Cambridge University CambridgeBioAnth Cambridge Archaeology

It's great fun! Proud to represent CambridgeBioAnth and to share our passion for human evolution and evolutionary anthropology!

New paper out! Wild chimpanzees make tactical use of high ground to detect hostile neighbouring groups. PLOS Biology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… warfare tactics of high elevation usage are much deeply rooted than previously thought. CambridgeBioAnth Cambridge Archaeology Cambridge University

Looking for PhD candidates - influence of audience effect on communication in wild chimpanzees and bonobos - with Dr Anna Roberts and I. Funding opportunities through application to our PhD program Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth DM me if interested.

Winter field season in Gibraltar, monkey business...as usual. Cambridge University Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth #gibraltarmacaques

New field season in #Gibraltar lots of new very attractive babies and good to catch up with the macaques! Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth

That's what we mean by attractive new infants! Adult male wanting to carry the baby held by his mum #Gibraltarmacaques Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth

Macaques in Gibraltar can be quite aggressive with each other, resulting in injuries, like these 2 females from Cable Car troop #Gibraltarmacaques. It may be different in other populations with less feeding competition Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth

Time for the winter field season! But first, a big thank you to my summer team Rossy Wippell and Martin Nicourt Sylvain_RT_Lemoine CambridgeBioAnth Cambridge Archaeology

Winter is mating season in Barbary macaques, females can develop very large sexual swellings and get lots of attention from males, as here in Apes Den group #Gibraltar #barbarymacaques Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth

The Gibraltar Macaques Project is now live on Bluesky ! @gibmacproj.bsky.social We'll keep posting here but slowly will definitely migrate to Bluesky. So please create your account and follow us !

The GMP and outcomes of preliminary studies will be presented

Congratulations to Eliott Mestrallet for completing his Master's degree with a First (PRIAM Paris-Saclay AgroParisTech)! Project with the GMP on tourist-macaque interactions and behavioural adaptations to touristic pressure. CambridgeBioAnth Cambridge Archaeology

And congratulations to Jeanne Thiodet for successfully completing her Master's degree in Ethology (Uni Sorbonne), also with a First! Project with the GMP evaluating the impact of the anthropogenic gradient on behaviour of Barbary macaques. CambridgeBioAnth
