New study in @ScienceAdvances on group-differences in prosociality in chimpanzees. Chimpanzees at @Chimfunshi show fascinating group variation in social tolerance, which translated here in diffs in prosociality. Congrats to Van Leeuwen & all co-authors!

Interesting new paper looking at how marmosets navigate social dilemmas with key sex differences in behavioral strategies. Females were more strategic whiles males were more prosocial. Cool study!

We surveyed AZA zoos about the pros & cons of different great ape exhibit substrates. Despite the benefits deep-litter biofloors confer they’re still not commonly used- we hope our findings will encourage zoos to consider them in future habitat designs #ZooResearch #AnimalWelfare

New great ape #zoo habitat design research from @LincolnParkZoo's @chimpfreq @LydiaMHopper and others: deep natural materials on the ground "promote positive welfare without compromising husbandry efforts and are a worthwhile investment." #AnimalWelfare jzar.org/jzar/article/v…

@OliviaTReilly @LabHecht Ha! Finn does have an angelic voice. I don’t think he qualifies though, as he sings to behavioral triggers not musical ones!

Excited to see this article, co-authored w Sarah Brosnan and @zannaclay, out in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews. Can applying a human lens help us understand the nature of non-human animal and human affect/emotion? authors.elsevier.com/a/1bGy4Y3M3TxCm (1/

Many scientists are focussed on how to be better allies to fellow scientists, but we also need to address how we can re-gain trust among non-scientists. Black people have been BETRAYED by scientists & medics in history & presently. What steps will be taken to right the wrongs?

Sherman, a symbol-trained chimpanzee, could remember a hidden food item's identity after a 10-min delay. Watching a misleading video during the delay caused Sherman to make mistakes. Suggests chimps, like humans, are vulnerable to misinformation effects. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
