Had such a great time talking about our work taking a classic gaze-following paradigm into the forest to measure social cognition in wild chimps!

New research from KCP & @KrisSabbi! Mother-infant play is rare in non-humans, but chimpanzee mothers play with their infants even when food is scarce and other adults have stopped. Long-term data support the importance of play and mothers as play partners. https://t.co/0fBvgsDp21
Check out the new website for my research group in the Department of Anthropology @UWMadison! We’re looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students interested in primate socioecology with field and nutrition lab components. https://t.co/0BLObqndir
My lab is now recruiting students at all levels, especially anyone looking to earn an M.S. in Biology, beginning in Fall 2023! Anyone interested in applying to the program should first reach out to me by filling out the google form available on my website. https://t.co/Fzp7VSjK7x
@KrisSabbi Hi, I’m Isabelle! I’m presenting some of my chimp work with Kris at the #ASPDenver2022 poster session Saturday at 5:30pm, so make sure to stop by and chat :)
Happy #Friyay, field nerds! Today we got the whole TEAM in the shot- featuring Tuber as the confused #chimpanzee gentleman in the back who forgot to smile because he was too busy asking what a selfie does

In Memoriam: Big Brown, one of Kanyawara's oldest males (~55), died in June from severe wounds inflicted by giant forest hogs. Alpha in the mid-1990s, he remained a respected and popular figure in the community. Photo by Martin Muller.
During the last 25 years, we’ve also registered an increase of wildlife populations for most animal species. Rhinos for instance that had been declared extinct in Uganda as of 1995 were re-introduced and are now thriving. #UWAat25 🎉#ConservingForGenerations
It is not always a peaceful night in the desert for nocturnal rodents..🌵these fighting kangaroo rats would have loved a turn in the #2022MMM bracket to show off their skills #Biology#research
In honor of #InternationalDayofForests here are some pics from beautiful Costa Rica that I took on my last field work trip. Can’t wait to see the forests of Uganda next in a few weeks! #research#primates
Had the best time in Costa Rica! Thank you #maderasrfc for letting me watch monkeys in the rainforest🐒 Here are some of my favorite pictures I captured of #howler and #capuchin monkeys, along with a keel-billed toucan 📷
Only 1 more week to order a KCP t-shirt. Please help if you can. Our ability to fundraise was severely disrupted over the past year, though we continued to support education and conservation efforts in communities around Kibale National Park.
Working on #play is always a blast, but, as my research assistants will tell you- it's harder than it looks! There are just so many different ways to play! Here's another favorite #chimpfant moment brought to you by the fabulous @izzymonroe3 : TICKLE FIGHT!!
