Congratulations to Daniel Alempijevic for a successful doctoral dissertation defense! Daniel is the 2nd PhD student to graduate from the Primatology Lab. For his event, there was a special delivery of champagne from the Dryas monkey, the focus of his dissertation! @FAUScience
A big thank you to all those who have been in touch for Endangered Species Day. There are more than 38,000 species of #animals and #plants listed by CITES as #Endangered. We work to #conserve those and protect earth’s #biodiversity
It’s #EndangeredSpeciesDay, a day that is very near and dear to our hearts. We wanted to share with you the timeline of how chimps have become endangered over the last 100 years. We hope that you will RT so we can continue to save the chimps together ❤️ #SaveTheChimps
Happy International Vervet Day! Cupcake made the request and I agreed. Vervets don’t get enough love. DB monkeys are green monkeys (type of vervet) from West Africa. They’ve been here for 80 years after an escape from the Dania Chimp Farm. #monkeys#vervet

Happy Monkey Monday from us here in Dania Beach! Mikey says he matters regardless if he is a nonnative or native. Conservation shouldn’t be biased. #monkeys#vervets#conservationbias
@emilyjlevy @AmboseliBaboons Appreciate it! Where did you get the parallel laser rig or the instructions to make it? Ive been a bit stuck on getting the lasers parallel. 😅
I never thought making two lasers parallel would take up so much time… Someone needs to start selling cheap parallel laser rigs for terrestrial ecology already! 🤦♀️ #photogrammetry
@Carly_Batist@phenogirl@OpenAcoustics Good to know! We have an undergraduate trying to ID galago species at a few field sites and only have 4 recorders which limits the habitat types we can target. I will definitely recommend these to my adviser for the next field season!
Why do some people enjoy listening to music more than others do? Perhaps because of the way music activates the brain's reward system. Learn more in my piece for

Did you know that there are 20 species of Gibbon, that’s more than twice the number of living Great Ape species.
Sadly all 20 species are classified as endangered and a few of them are amongst the rarest mammals on the planet.
