Gibraltar Macaques Project
@gibmacproj.bsky.social
Long-term project studying the ecology, behaviour and conservation of the population of Barbary macaques from Gibraltar, led by Dr Sylvain Lemoine, Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge.

Comment des macaques soignent les problèmes de digestion que leur cause notre malbouffe
Partout dans le monde, les singes doivent s’adapter pour faire face aux transformations de leur milieu naturel par les humains. Deux observations récentes l’illustrent bien. L'une sur des macaques con...

WildCRU, Oxford@wildcru.bsky.social · 3mo agoBarbary macaques in Gibraltar have developed a surprising habit - eating soil 🐒 Researchers found this behaviour to be especially common in summer, when tourist numbers (and snack-sharing) peak. [1/2] @biology.ox.ac.uk @gibmacproj.bsky.social
Congratulations Lalie! And welcome to the team! #primates #macaques

Gibraltar's monkeys find a clever way to avoid a junk food bellyache
On the tourist-packed Rock of Gibraltar, one of the most common sights is monkeys begging for food - and sometimes stealing sweet and salty snacks from unsuspecting visitors. Scientists now have docu...

🆕 New paper out! 🐒🪨 We show that geophagy in Gibraltar Barbary macaques is a socially learned tradition, induced by human activities and linked to junk food from tourists. @gibmacproj.bsky.social @mnhn.fr @cam-archaeology.bsky.social #macaques #gibraltar 👇 rdcu.be/fdjkd
New paper out! Gibraltar Barbary macaques eat soil to prevent against junk food obtained from tourists, and they learn that from each other. Functional and cultural, this behaviour is induced by proximity with humans @cam-archaeology.bsky.social #macaques #gibraltar www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Gibraltar Macaques Project definitely left X and will only post here
Nice piece on Jane Goodall's legacy, acknowledged and discussed in light to recent advances in our understanding of chimpanzee behaviour #janegoodall #chimpanzee www.livescience.com/animals/land...
Jane Goodall revolutionized animal research, but her work had some unintended consequences. Here's what we've learned from them.
Following Jane Goodall's death, chimp experts explain how her early observations still influence our understanding of our ape cousins.
livescience.com
It is with great sadness that we learn about Jane Goodall passing away. Pioneering, inspiring, a true animal lover and feminist, her dedication to chimpanzee conservation paved the way for generations of primatologists. 😥🙏🦧 www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91

And congratulations to Jeanne Thiodet for successfully completing her Master's degree in Ethology (Uni Sorbonne), also with a First! Project with the GMP evaluating the impact of the anthropogenic gradient on behaviour of Barbary macaques. @cam-archaeology.bsky.social
Congratulations to Eliott Mestrallet for completing his Master's degree with a First (PRIAM Paris-Saclay AgroParisTech)! Project with the GMP on tourist-macaque interactions and behavioural adaptations to touristic pressure. Great work!
Today at 1pm UK time the GMP will be featured in the Journal Club of the Centre for Comparative and Evolutionary Psychology from the University of Portsmouth!
Even in Gibraltar, winter can be quite cold. Here juveniles Barbary macaques huddling each other keeping warm and reinforcing social relationships #Gibraltar #Barbaryapes #Barbarymacaques
Winter is mating season in Barbary macaques, females can develop very large sexual swellings and get lots of attention from males, as here in Apes Den group #Gibraltar #barbarymacaques
The Gibraltar Macaques Project is devoted to the study of behaviour, ecology and conservation of the beautiful Barbary macaques from the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, in Gibraltar. Stay tuned for regular research news #universityCambridge #barbarymacaques #Gibraltar #behaviour #science
