CONGRATS to Dr Jordan Hart who passed his PhD viva yesterday with flying colours (7 data chapters, no corrections😮🥳🤩) and eventually also smashed the cork popping and ceiling signing too. Thanks Sune Lehmann Tom Currie for acting as examiners!

Excited to share a cool new paper Robin Morrison, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund & I have out in Current Biology. Mountain gorillas who survive a variety of sources of early life adversity do not have shorter lifespans than those who had 'silver spoon' childhoods: authors.elsevier.com/a/1h4tb_LsQSPr…

This is pretty cool - Overleaf has a free, open source Latex template for responding to reviewer's comments using fancy boxes 😎🕺. Link: overleaf.com/latex/template… #econtwitter #polisci

Our sensory systems are our body’s interface with the world. Check out our new paper investigating age-related differences in the eyes of free-ranging rhesus macaques, led by the excellent Arthur Fernandes.

A new #openaccess paper from my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellowship in @asab_tweets - an introduction to different ways of representing animal social networks and how we can use them to answer questions in behavioural ecology doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…

Did you know monkeys form social networks similar to humans? Surprisingly, the social behavior of monkeys may give us insight into human social behavior! Julie Horvath Genomics & Microbiology Research Lab NC Museum of Natural Sciences

And if you want a primer on animal friendships to get you excited - check out this The Conversation piece that Delphine De Moor, Dr. Beki Hooper and I wrote about the ways in which animal friendships are surprisingly like human ones... 🤔🤓 theconversation.com/animal-friends…

"Higher mortality is not a universal cost of dispersal" doi.org/10.1086/726220 Our 32-year study of African wild dogs shows that dispersing individuals actually face lower mortality compared to residents. Time to rethink some of the long-held assumptions on dispersal. #PopEcol

What can #VampireBats teach us about friendship? Research published in #BiologyLetters suggests that short-term close proximity helps bats forge long-term social relationships. ow.ly/xkzE50Q02k5 #Halloween

Hoy supimos que en su propuesta el Ministerio de Ciencia decidió deliberadamente farrearse la oportunidad de poner en valor las redes internacionales producidas por Becas Chile y empezar a recibir algún beneficio para el país recién en 8 años más. Incomprensible.
