📢New research from our lab is out in PLOS Comp Biol and our reimagined marmosets are featured on the cover: doi.org/10.1371/journa…🌞🐒

Join us tomorrow! 🚨

Non-trivial compositionality in nonhuman animals? 🦍🤔 Come see our last study on wild bonobo call combinations at EFP2024 (Thursday 6th, 5:30pm, room 315) and discuss with us! With Simon W. Townsend and Kokolopori Bonobo Research

Great talk from Mélissa Berthet EFP2024 discussing her work on call combinations in wild bonobos. UZH Science Swiss National Science Foundation

The power of combining long-term behavioural and genetic data! Juvenile play predicts reproductive success of male bottlenose dolphins! Check out our latest study in PNASNews Kathryn G Holmes Stephanie L King @stephanielking.bsky.social Dr Simon J Allen UZH Science University of Zurich pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Such great news!!!!!

Delighted to share our perspective piece “Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought” now out in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… (with long-term collaborators (and friends) steven t. piantadosi and Ted Gibson, Language Lab MIT) 1/n

🇬🇧Super happy to see my paper on #syntax and #compositionality in #chimpanzees translated in French here 👇 La Société Francophone de Primatologie - SFDP #InclusiveScience 🇫🇷Super content de voir mon article sur la syntaxe chez les chimpanzés traduite en Français ici 👇 #Inclusivité journals.openedition.org/primatologie/1…

Managing and making research data accessible This is what NCCR Evolving Language is encouraging its researchers to do. For its efforts, it has won one of the #LighthouseAwards awarded by the SNSF. #OpenAccess #OA #OpenData #science #research

Neat comparative study by Gal Badihi and colleagues adding evidence for shared underlying rules in communication (turn-taking): “Chimpanzee gestural exchanges share temporal structure with human language”; out in Current Biology sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Gesture exchanges in wild chimps resemble human conversational patterns! New paper (with data from 5 chimp communities!) in Current Biology led by Gal Badihi and Cat Hobaiter! Ping NCCR Evolving Language UZH Science ISLE

We have an open call for two permanent lectureships in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews. A beautiful place to live and work. Please share! vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/46…

Super interesting new paper on social aging in wild lions!🦁

Looking forward to seeing this! Congrats Federico Rossano 🎉

Thanks Nature Rev Neurosci for the chance to clarify that1️⃣the language network is not monolithic (we never said it was, but happy to emphasize); and2️⃣language network boundaries don't depend on a specific 'localizer' and can be recovered from task-free data: tinyurl.com/5y3rhfrh
