Last week we presented first data from our Geladas_for_Cooperation project at the conference of the Italian Society for the study of Animal Behaviour Società Italiana di Etologia in Turin! Emotions and prosociality in vocal exchanges of wild geladas… so happy and proud 🐒 @EthosLabo The Leakey Foundation

🚨 Presenting our new publication link.springer.com/article/10.100… on IntJPrimatology at the conference of the Italian Society for Zoology (UZI) in Pisa! 🐒 The Leakey Foundation geladas and baboons interspecies interactions!

Field life in Debre Libanos in few seconds 🐒🇪🇹 #geladas #ethiopia #primatology #research

We are back on the field🐒 already facing the many challenges of field life! But as geladas do… we also quickly adapt! The Leakey Foundation Dipartimento di Biologia - UniPisa @EthosLabo

We finally delivered the first part of the materials for the schools of Debre Libanos purchased thanks to the donations of many of you 📚It was a day filled with joy and strong emotions. Your generosity and trust mean a lot to us! For more info and pics, see our Ig/Fb pages

It might look like I’m posing but I’m actually desperate trying to identify the too many geladas in front of me 😅 Geladas_for_Cooperation #fieldlife

How’s field life in a project studying wild primates? Check out our new reel!✨

Couldn’t be prouder of our project ❤️🐒

🚨New paper! We found that in rhesus macaques spontaneous triadic affiliation after conflicts is common, increases with the victim-bystander bond and victim distress signals. This challenges traditional despotic-tolerant dichotomies🐒 @bettapalagi sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What an end to the year! 🚨New publication 🚨Our work on multimodality in yawn contagion 🥱 and on the centrality of female-female mirror responses in geladas is finally out! Free on AmJournalPrimatology 🐒 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… EthoS @bettapalagi Martina Francesconi

Today SIE NEWS from Luca Pedruzzi: Our playback experiment reveals that wild geladas extract social & emotional cues from vocal interactions that simulate (or don’t) affiliation towards victims of aggression. A key insight into primate prosociality! Geladas_for_Cooperation project

🚨Our study on mutual gaze and facial mimicry and their possible link to joint commitment in rhesus macaques is out! :) doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…

Talking about our latest research on The Conversation! 🐒 theconversation.com/lempathie-nest…

🚨New paper alert! 🐵 We compared yawning in geladas vs hamadryas baboons and guess what? Differences in the sociobiology of the two species seem to be reflected in the expression of the behaviour :) OA on AmJournalPrimatology doi.org/10.1002/ajp.70…
