Big news from our Border Wildlife Study collaboration with @WildlandsNetwrk: Our study on the crossing rates of animals through different types of border wall has just been published, showing which species are able to cross and through which barriers: https://t.co/NB86ZpWVIX

How can social behavior affect survival after a natural disaster? HUGE congrats to @CamilleTestard and co-authors, whose study about Hurricane Maria's impact on @CayoSantiagoPR just came out in @ScienceMagazine ! Check out the paper, the thread, and the COMIC. 🏝️🐒🐒🐒

#InternationalMacaqueWeek last week has got me thinking that the world needs a macaque (ology?) episode from @ologies @alieward 👀🐒

Lots of cool things to discuss; human-macaque interaction, behavioral adaptability, ethnoprimatology, and a bunch of variation across the genus!

@anthrosdsu @AsiaforAnimals @Project__SEED @ethnoprimate Thanks for playing, and I hope you all enjoyed being a macaque for a day!

In celebration of #internationalmacaqueweek let's play a game about a day in the life of a macaque! Your vote matters: put your decision-making skills to the test by voting for an action that will decide what an imaginary macaque does throughout their day. 1/2

@anthrosdsu @AsiaforAnimals @Project__SEED @ethnoprimate You decide to forage in a cacao field. Some other group members join you. You forage for some time until a dog chases you away. Eventually, the group chooses their sleeping site and you sleep. You are still injured, but you have a full stomach and intact social bonds.

I'll be giving a poster presentation (2-16) about my thesis research on the decision-making and collective movement behavior of moor macaques at this year's #AABA2024 conference! It'll be up on Thursday (3/21) and I'll be there from 5pm-6pm. I look forward to seeing everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has taken time to complete the survey! Responses are still trickling in! :) 🗣️

If you haven't yet, please take a few minutes to complete this survey, and help us understand complexities of human-nonhuman primate interactions! 🦧🐒🌿

💥Postdoc job alert💥 I'm super excited to announce that we are hiring a #postdoc to conduct field research the human-macaque interface in #Sulawesi, Indonesia. Come join me, @Anthro_Amanda @henryrscharf & the @Project__SEED team! See below for details 🐒🇮🇩🛣🌳 Please RT!

Should we feed wildlife?🤔 ‼️NO‼️

In this study, Griffin & Ciuti share that by feeding #wildlife, humans may be unknowingly manipulating populations, forcing them into unnatural states, and potentially decreasing future viability.👎🐾

My time in Indonesia is coming to a close. It's definitely bitter-sweet, but I was able to do everything I wanted to!

✅️ Collected some nice data.
✅️ Met amazing people.
✅️ Snuck in some sightseeing.

Termia kasih banyak, Indonesia. Sampi jump lagi!
