1 Dogs are known for their ability to cooperate with humans and read our social cues. But are these skills biologically prepared? To find out, we tested 375 puppies at 8.5 weeks on 4 social cognition tasks (task descriptions: https://t.co/aETequNBce) #AnimBehav2021 #Cognition

If a curious little one sticks a finger in your eye, we hope you can say, "Please, don't" as kindly and gently as this bonobo does.

#HappyFriday !

While mama Sachi is grooming hunk Kiota, baby Sasa says Happy Friday! (well at least that's interpretation Im going with). Beautiful #bonobos to brighten your day :)

Lighter coloured dogs had higher concentrations of cortisol in their fur compared to darker dogs in a reserve in Nicaragua.

Why do female #bonobos adopt a curious "rear-exposing" posture while foraging on the ground? Because they need to #communicate something really important! @DDL_Laboratoire

This is disappointing @disneyplus. As long as media depict primates in human contexts- CGI or not, people will continue to want them as pets & to see them in entertainment.This needs to stop. Gorillas face extinction & v hard to release captive primates. Primates are not pets

[Christopher Krupenye @ChrisKrupenye]

Our science is shaped by our world-views and our lived experiences. Over the last half century, woman have seen through countless traditional biases in theory, and as a result profoundly shifted our understanding of animal behavior for the better

[Christopher Krupenye @ChrisKrupenye]

The grandmother hypothesis tested in killer whales. Why might human women (and orca females) have evolved to survive long past the reproductive phase of their life?

@kirstyegraham @Cognition_ENS @BerthetMelissa @GDezecache Looking forward to it!

Bonobo mothers help their sons to have more offspring. New study in @CurrentBiology by Martin Surbeck, @TaiChimpProject, and colleagues from @MPI_EVA_Leipzig. More: https://t.co/11mtwBL4jw & https://t.co/jdi3L8ibmN

Human social life depends on our ability to understand others' thoughts & feelings. Do any nonhuman animals share this ability? Josep Call & I survey work on #socialcognition & #theoryofmind in #animals, highlighting innovations and avenues for future work https://t.co/Vq9zgmH3Vw

[Hyena Project 🐾 @HyenaProject]

Why did fieldwork studies decrease by 20% and modelling and data analysis studies increase by 600% and 800%, respectively, since the 1980s? Study suggests it's because fieldwork studies are undervalued and society is increasingly disconnected with nature.

A great opportunity to learn more about #bonobos and help @Lola_ya_Bonobo on #GivingTuesday !

[Friends of Bonobos @Lola_ya_Bonobo]
