Slim bonobos apperently have slim parents 🐵🤔 Catch one of the latest ZooScience (ZOO Science) blogs, summarizing my recent study on the heritability of body condition in bonobos (available in English and Dutch): zooscience.be/en/blog/slim-b…

#DidYouKnow Body condition shows high heritability in zoo-housed bonobos #primatology Check out the full AmJournalPrimatology article by Jonas R. R. Torfs here: doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23…

Excited to share our large-scale study comparing social co-feeding tolerance of bonobos and chimpanzees in 16 social groups across zoos and sanctuaries revealing no species-differences. Thanks to all coauthors and to all institutes for hosting us 🙌 doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

New paper on #bonobo #welfare! 🐵 We applied QBA to see how humans score bonobo emotional expressivity. Check out the study published in Animal Welfare_The Journal and in the thread (1/5): doi.org/10.1017/awf.20…
