Great to see this special issue on reciprocity out! Huge thanks @ManonSchweinfu1 for pulling this off and seeing it through!!

Huge congratulations to Dr. @JamesStranks for successfully defending his PhD on male sociality in wild Assamese macaques at Phu Khieo WS. Well done, James 🎉🎉!! funded by RTG2070 @dfg_public @DPZ_eu @uniGoettingen @LeibnizPrimate

Deadline to apply is in 5 days! Come work with us on curiosity in immature macaques in the wild!

Fully funded 4 year PhD opportunity in our lab! Work with us on ecological curiosity in Assamese macaques in Thailand and be part of a large collaborative multidisciplinary effort tinyurl.com/3tyxr77x by @uniGoettingen @DPZ_eu deadline 15 Jan 2024👉 tinyurl.com/4shhtxc2

Join us on zoom to discuss issues surrounding the colonial past & present of primatology November 30th 18:00 (find link here later). Jo Setchell tinyurl.com/4htr4var will kick off with a presentation and you decide where it will go from there.

Next up is @JamesStranks (@PrimBehavEcol and @DPZ_eu), talking about the relationship between glucocorticoids, dominance ranks, and social dynamics in male macaques. Higher rank = higher cortisol levels, but increasing strengths of top bond = lower cortisol levels. #gradbehav23
