Happy #WorldChimpanzeeDay! Chimps play all the time, and it can look very similar to watching kids play! Here is one of my favorite videos from Kris Sabbi, PhD's play dataset of some chimps #playing and giving some cute tickles :)

Working on #play is always a blast, but, as my research assistants will tell you- it's harder than it looks! There are just so many different ways to play! Here's another favorite #chimpfant moment brought to you by the fabulous Izzy 🐬 : TICKLE FIGHT!!

Only 1 more week to order a KCP t-shirt. Please help if you can. Our ability to fundraise was severely disrupted over the past year, though we continued to support education and conservation efforts in communities around Kibale National Park.

Mango here. Just checking in to see how you're holding up. Don't forget to hydrate and relax those shoulders. ❤️

Had the best time in Costa Rica! Thank you #maderasrfc for letting me watch monkeys in the rainforest🐒 Here are some of my favorite pictures I captured of #howler and #capuchin monkeys, along with a keel-billed toucan 📷

In honor of #InternationalDayofForests here are some pics from beautiful Costa Rica that I took on my last field work trip. Can’t wait to see the forests of Uganda next in a few weeks! #research #primates

It is not always a peaceful night in the desert for nocturnal rodents..🌵these fighting kangaroo rats would have loved a turn in the #2022MMM bracket to show off their skills #Biology #research

#Fieldwork always has it's ups and downs- and they're so much more fun when you have an awesome teammate like ✨ Isabelle Monroe ✨ #FieldworkFriday #chimpanzee

Some beautiful wildlife in Uganda to brighten up your Twitter feed today #Fieldwork

During the last 25 years, we’ve also registered an increase of wildlife populations for most animal species. Rhinos for instance that had been declared extinct in Uganda as of 1995 were re-introduced and are now thriving. #UWAat25 🎉#ConservingForGenerations

We made it to the end of the week! Here is a #chimp pic to celebrate, happy #FieldworkFriday

In Memoriam: Big Brown, one of Kanyawara's oldest males (~55), died in June from severe wounds inflicted by giant forest hogs. Alpha in the mid-1990s, he remained a respected and popular figure in the community. Photo by Martin Muller.

Happy #Friyay, field nerds! Today we got the whole TEAM in the shot- featuring Tuber as the confused #chimpanzee gentleman in the back who forgot to smile because he was too busy asking what a selfie does #FieldworkFriday

My lab is now recruiting students at all levels, especially anyone looking to earn an M.S. in Biology, beginning in Fall 2023! Anyone interested in applying to the program should first reach out to me by filling out the google form available on my website. aliciamrich.com

New paper with long-term KCP data on rare female coalitions in Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B. Congratulations to Stephanie Fox. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Check out the new website for my research group in the Department of Anthropology ⁦⁦UW–Madison⁩! We’re looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students interested in primate socioecology with field and nutrition lab components. bryerlab.anthropology.wisc.edu

New research from KCP & Kris Sabbi, PhD! Mother-infant play is rare in non-humans, but chimpanzee mothers play with their infants even when food is scarce and other adults have stopped. Long-term data support the importance of play and mothers as play partners. cell.com/current-biolog…

Had such a great time talking about our work taking a classic gaze-following paradigm into the forest to measure social cognition in wild chimps! @zeppypearl @AlexGRosati Isabelle Monroe #AABA2024
