When I was 3 years old, my favorite time pass was to watch the movements of ants for hours; today I am a PhD student focusing on social behaviors in mammals
🚨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

With great joy and surprise, we received more donations, and we wasted no time! Today, we could donate school supplies to the 76 students of Godo Elem. School, where many of our friends and "field assistants" study. A perfect way to end an unforgettable year in Ethiopia❤️
Today SIE NEWS from @GalottiAlice: Excited to share our findings on yawn contagion in horses! Horses are more likely to yawn back @ kin or grooming group members, strengthening their social bonds&group coordination. This simple act might even boost group synchronization&vigilance
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
We are back on the field🐒 already facing the many challenges of field life! But as geladas do… we also quickly adapt!

Finally out! Very proud about our last work on yawn contagion and social implications in horses! Thanks to the all team and a special thanks to my supervisor @bettapalagi
A congress with (also) gelada gadgets, that’s what we like 😎

🚨 Presenting our new publication https://t.co/T9aUXmILWQ on @IntJPrimatology at the conference of the Italian Society for Zoology (UZI) in Pisa! 🐒 @TheLeakeyFndtn geladas and baboons interspecies interactions!
Super happy about my last talk on social cohesion in horses, our poster and the time spent with amazing friends at the conference of the Italian Society of Animal Behavior @sie_etologia in Turin!
Last week we presented first data from our @geladas_bridges project at the conference of the Italian Society for the study of Animal Behaviour @sie_etologia in Turin! Emotions and prosociality in vocal exchanges of wild geladas… so happy and proud 🐒 @EthosLabo @TheLeakeyFndtn
🚨 Exciting news! The first paper from our project out in @IntJPrimatology 🐒 We report positive interspecies interactions between tolerant geladas and olive baboons in an unprotected area in Ethiopia 🫱🏾🫲🏼@TheLeakeyFndtn @EthosLabo Full story here: https://t.co/T9aUXmILWQ
Help us! Just few euros can really help. We are a small group, yes, but we have direct contact with the schools on the field and can easily help them again. Follow @geladas_bridges to see what we did with the previous fundraising ❤️
