🌟New Special Issue! Cooperation among women, evolutionary and cross cultural perspectives. 🌟 A holistic, evolutionary framework on human cooperation needs to include in-depth data on women's cooperation. Here, we build a more complete and evidence based perspective.

We are seeking a Lab assistant for our field lab at TCP in Ivory Coast. If you have experience with lab work (PCR), are interested to work for the conservation of chimpanzees and want to have the possibility to see and observe wild chimpanzees, apply here taichimpproject.org/jobs

We are looking for students for our research projects in 2023! For application, please send a motivation letter, a CV, and if applicable also a recommendation letter to Dr. Giulia Cimarelli ([email protected]).

Humans shrink their social networks as they get older. Do other animals? In this new PNASNews paper we find shrinking networks in aging macaques. Why? The costs/benefits of social relationships may change with age. Social selectivity might thus be a widespread aging phenotype

Sokwe wengi ! Superbe males displaying social vigilance behaviour GMERC

The bizarre floral appearance of Hydnora africana seems almost extraterrestrial, but in fact it is finely adapted for pollination in its arid habitat. This plant, a resident of southern Africa, only emerges from the soil to flower.

You might think you’ve seen this before from our team… but these are MALE bumblebees, trained to pull strings by Mai Morimoto and Yoshi Aso in just a few hours !

We are also leaving #Twitter today and moving to Mastodon. Let's hope, many of you will move with us to discuss and keep in contact with each other concerning the wonderful #behaviour of #greatapes, #tooluse, #medication, #evolution and #conservation: @[email protected]

🐺🐶PhD alert! 🐶🐺Fully-funded PhD position at the Konrad Lorenz Institute of Ethology, Vienna! "Do human attitudes towards wolves and dogs actually reflect the human related temperament traits of the two species?"

In remembrance of #CharlesSnowdon, “Chuck”, who provided so many pioneering ideas and studies to the field of #primatecommunication and #turntaking and was a wonderful mentor. You are deeply missed!

Every chimpanzee research site, from Kibale Chimpanzee Project and @ngogochimps to Ozougachimps and the Taï Chimpanzee Project, plays a crucial role in our understanding of chimpanzees. These sites are also critical for their conservation and protection. 5/7

Thanks so much #LeakeyFoundation. So grateful that such a Foundation exists to support research into #primates. Now we can still observe many species in the wild but in parallel we need to dramatically increase efforts to protect them and their crucial habitats. #TimeToAct

The officers of the IPS join the world of primatology and conservation in mourning the devastating sudden loss of Prof. Christophe Boesch.
