Excited to share our new paper in Proc. R. Soc. B! 🐒🪨 We found that wild capuchin monkeys prioritize "social cues" (signs of previous use) over raw material quality when choosing nut-cracking tools. A big step in understanding cultural evolution in primates. #AnimalBehavior #primatology

Em 10/2024 solicitamos ao Grupo Equatorial a ligação de energia da nossa nova base de pesquisa da @neoprego.org em Coronel José Dias/PI. 11 meses depois e eles ainda não conectaram e ainda contestam a liminar do juiz ordenando eles a fazerem a ligação (1 poste e 40m de fiação em área central).🤬.
Com a erupção do vulcão Monte Lewotobi Laki-Laki na Indonésia, tem rolando desinformação sobre vulcões - e vinda de um perfil grande. Então acho importante falar sobre isso Os vulcões emitem muito CO2, logo, seriam mais responsáveis pelo aquecimento global do que o homem? Não!!!!! Vem entender 👇

After a lot of work, delays and difficulties, we are almost finishing the new @neoprego.org research base at Serra da Capivara! 🏗️🚧🏠 This base will provide great stability for us to continue doing long-term research on the capuchin monkeys of Serra da Capivara and their incredible culture.
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
Gravei um vídeo contando um pouco sobre o legado da professora Niède Guidon. Tá um vídeo modesto, mas foi feito com carinho para esta mulher que inspirou gerações de profissionais da Arqueologia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZmo...

Niède Guidon, archéologue découvreuse du « Lascaux brésilien », est morte
Figure hors norme de l’archéologie brésilienne, celle qui était surnommée la « Napoléon du Sertao » a réussi à mettre, à force d’ambition, cette région du Nordeste brésilien sur les cartes mondiales de la préhistoire. Elle est morte mercredi 4 juin, à l’âge de 92 ans.

A ciência brasileira fica mais triste com o falecimento de Niède Guidon, que nos ajudou a entender as origens do homem no continente americano.
Uma mulher extraordinária que fez demais pelo Nordeste e pelo Brasil. Viva Niède Guidon!
Renato Souza @reporterenato.bsky.social · last yr.URGENTE: Morre, aos 92 anos, a arqueóloga Niède Guidon, criadora da Fundação Museu do Homem Americano. O trabalho de Niéde permitiu a preservação do Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara, em São Raimundo Nonato, no Piauí. O local é palco de uma nova teoria sobre a chegada do homem à América.
We’re finishing our fieldwork season in Ubajara National Park 🇧🇷, where we collected🩸and other samples from the wild capuchin monkeys we study here. Now we have a lot of samples to analyse from genetics to health indicators. #capuchin #monkey #wildlife #primatologia @neoprego.org
Can you see the snake near the nut-cracking anvil in the first 🌌? That is one of the dangers for capuchin 🐒 when going to the ground to use tools. In our new paper, we describe a snake attack on a capuchin in Ubajara Park 🇧🇷 link.springer.com/article/10.1... @neoprego.org @tati-valenca.bsky.social
Behavioural diversity in animals threatened by #biodiversity decline.

Happy to have a new piece in @science.org with my friend Lydia where we draw attention to the significance of animal material culture for understanding human technical evolution and why we should digitally preserve and protect primate tools and tool use sites. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

O que me deixa loko é que essas provas pra concurso público selecionam quem decora texto de lei, não quem compreende os temas relevantes para a área. Estamos selecionando que tipo de pessoas para importantes cargos públicos? É isso que o IBAMA e o ICMBio querem para seus quadros? Nós queremos?

Next week I’ll be testing those very low budget camera-traps. Colleagues told me they are good. Tired of spending lot of 💰 in camera-traps that don't last 1 year and there is no repair. At least those cheap ones I can just replace and don't worry about.
