It's been great to be a part of such a large scale collaborative project. A big thanks to Basel Zoo for letting us work with their birds! @cog_comp_Neuch @ZooBasel

We still really need responses from pregnant women, regardless of whether you own a pet! Please take ten minutes to fill out this survey on maternal wellbeing.

[Vanessa Wilson @V_DubleU]

A student of mine is studying maternal wellbeing in people with and without pets. We're recruiting women who are either pregnant or up to nine months postpartum. Please share! https://t.co/CB9EDaKpIn

We're looking for equine stakeholders (horse owners, breeders, stable managers, vets etc) to fill in this short survey, to help us assess feasibility of a possible horse welfare tool. Please share! https://t.co/YkCmuc75e7

Are humans the only species capable of tracking agent/patient roles? @V_DubleU &co show that #GreatApes, like human adults (but unlike infants), differentiate agents from patients, suggesting that #EventRole apprehension predates #language #PLOSBiology https://t.co/msCVK0DQ5i

📰🐒According to a study by @V_DubleU and team @UniNeuchatel, when observing someone interact with something, humans and apes both alternate attention between the two subjects. Learn more in the article of @PLOSBiology, in DE, FR and EN on our website.

Hot off the press! Is there a pre-linguistic basis for event role attribution? In our new paper out in PLoS Biology, we take a comparative eye tracking approach to explore temporal gaze distribution to agents and patients in dyadic interactions https://t.co/182f3EisZs

[Vanessa Wilson @V_DubleU]

It took five years of hard work and interdisciplinary collaboration to get this study out. Thanks to all collaborators, contributors, funding bodies and especially the @ZooBasel staff and apes, for making this study possible.

[Vanessa Wilson @V_DubleU]

Great to see this submitted. Happy to have been able to contribute to this excellent team effort.

[ManyBirds Project @TheManyBirds]

We are delighted to announce that ManyBirds Study 1 "Evolutionary drivers of neophobia across the avian clade" is now available in pre-print: https://t.co/MrGhV9JjOb and been submitted for peer-review publication. 1/

Thanks to many collaborators, we got face images of lots of primates😊! If your species are not listed blue below and you have images of them to share with us, please send me DM or email!
Green...need only immature images, Orange...need both adult and immature images.
