Had a great time at the @efp2026.bsky.social discussing primate research!

🔬 #RecercaUB | Com adapten els ximpanzés les seves eines per alimentar-se en entorns extrems? https://www.ub.edu/portal/web/psicologia/detall/-/detall/un-estudi-amb-participacio-de-la-ub-analitza-com-els-ximpanzes-consumeixen-formigues-guerreres-en-entorns-de-sabana #RecercaUB #PsicologiaUB

And another new paper! We report the first evidence of baobab pounding in Dindefelo, Senegal, a chimpanzee proto-tool use behaviour that occurs in the West African savanna. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New evidence of baobab (Adansonia digitata) pounding by western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) - Primates

Percussive technology in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) shows significant behavioral variation across Africa. An example is baobab (Adansonia digitata) fruit pounding, which is only known to occur...

New paper alert! Although savanna chimpanzees in Dindefelo (Senegal) exhibit unique strategies to find army ants... We found that chimpanzee strategies to eat these ants do not differ in savannas compared to forests but rather depend on ant species' behaviour. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Chimpanzee army ant consumption strategies show no habitat-specific pattern - Scientific Reports

Variation in army ant consumption strategies highlights cultural differences between chimpanzee communities in forest habitats. Since these strategies have not been studied in detail in savannas, vari...

We've had a super interesting talk by Gabriela Oliveira (@neoprego.org) about her research with capuchin monkey tool use in Brasil 🐒🪨🥔🥜🕷

I talked about chimps, ants, tools and revisits at #IPS2025 #IPSMadagascar Happy to be surrounded by so many amazing researchers and conservationists! 🐒🇲🇬 @ips-primatenews.bsky.social @psicologiaub.bsky.social @janegoodallespana.bsky.social
