64 years of Cayo Santiago data show early life adversity reshapes growth and reproduction in female rhesus macaques, often constraining both. These effects push individuals away from optimal reproductive strategies, reducing lifetime fitness. https://t.co/kmt3Sl9cKa

Thrilled to have presented my research poster at @Behaviour2025 in Kolkata!
I had so many engaging conversations and was grateful for the strong interest in my work.
Excited to take these insights forward. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

That's a wrap - what an amazing winter meeting! Thank you to our organising team, all presenters and attendees, and our fantastic hosts at Bristol Zoo! See you all next year! #PSGBBristol

[Katarina Tresova Piponi @katatrepip]

Thank you @PrimateSociety for having me talk about my research on the fitness effects of same-sex sexual behaviour in Macaques. A wonderful audience and a wonderful winter meeting!

I am excited to announce my talk about monkey senses for the #ImperialLates event with @ImperialSpark! I will cover how monkeys sense the world and, hopefully, open your senses to their ways of communication.
Register for the event here: https://t.co/uYaNjkdSNL.

Excited to see our Macaques represented at the @ImperialLifeSci Georgina Mace Centre for the Living Planet Debate 2024.
I remember the individual photographed fondly from my fieldwork! I wish he could know how far he's made it 🙈

After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, macaques that were more tolerant of others were better able to survive, a new study finds. The results indicate a change in the adaptive benefits of social ties after an ecological disturbance.

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. 🏝️🐒🐒🐒

And there's more ... !!

Costa Rican bird life appreciation post! Came for the Capuchins and never dabbled with bird watching before but staying in Monteverde has inspired me. The variety of birds is incredible!

Always a great pleasure to learn about the exciting projects going on at @Silwood_Park !

[Katarina Tresova Piponi @katatrepip]

🌈 1500+ species recorded to have same-sex sexual encounters and now humpback whales are added to the list !! 🎉🎉

I'm excited to join the world of primatology and share my PhD project on the evolutionary genetics of primate behaviour! ->> https://t.co/9ulU5aWbuq
Also please enjoy my close-up of an adolescent macaque from a preliminary study at Longleat Safari Park

Our sun? No just extremely confluent human embryonic kidney cells who have no idea they're about to be infected with lentivirus.

Imagine you spent two weeks cloning, mutating, and digesting. You finally run your samples on a gel and *SPLAT* you drop your weeks of work on the lab floor. You're only choice? Spend your lunch piecing back your gel and creating a slimy DNA filled mosaic... #lablife #genetics

My new blog article explores my curiousity about our own biological existence and expands on whether evolutionary theory can explain the presence of religious worship. 💚 Have a read if it peaks your interest! ☺️ #evolution
