Job Alert!
Come and join our team at our field site CRP Simenti in Senegal. Julia Fischer @julxf.bsky.social (@primatenzentrum.bsky.social) is recruiting a #Research_Manager. Work with the wonderful lovely Guinea baboons and manage our long-term data collection.

Three Guinea baboons are sitting on a stone wall with green bushes in the background. The one on the left is a juvenile lifting his foot. Next to him sits a male which is eating a palmnut. He holds the palmnut with his two hands and his right foot. A second male sits across from him.
A group of Guinea baboons walks through a lush green field surrounded by trees and bushes, followed by researcher Carolin Niederbremer (in the center of the photo) and two park agents (right side of the photo, covered by leaves). Photo by Judit Stolla.
Happy international primate day!
We study the behavior of Guinea baboons at the fieldsite CRP Simenti in the Niokolo Nationalpark in Senegal.
Many thanks to @juditstolla.bsky.social for the lovely photo!

Hot off the press 📣: one of the most surprising and unsettling findings of my PhD. A novel social tradition emerged in the tool-using white-faced capuchins of Jicarón island… abducting and carrying the infants of another species. Thread with gifs, videos, and all the bizarre details 👇
My interview for *The Philosopher's Zone* podcast on Feminism and Primatology is out now!
I managed to scrounge up the courage to listen and I'm quite proud 🙃
You can listen to the ep via the ABC website or in the usual podcast places

Good luck with the writing
The picture shows a big open gate with a sign above saying "Parc National du Niokolo Koba". A road is going through the gate and a person walks on the road far in the back. Next to the gate on the left side is a big tree, in the background are more trees and dry gras next to the road.
On the left is a palmtree and some bushes. The middle of the picture shows the Gambia river. In the background is the other side of the river with a large Sandbank and many green trees and bushes.
Excited to be back in Simenti for my final field season! 🐒🌴🇸🇳 #primates #fieldwork

I like the 🐑 option
A guinea baboon infant is looking into the camera with her hand under the head as if she's posing for the camera. The face and handss of the infant are pink, the fur is black. The infant is in the center of the picture, left and right of her is brown fur visible from adult individuals sitting next to her.
A juvenile guinea baboon is eating a palmnut. The baboon has a black face and light brown fur. It holds the palmnut with both hands and tries stuffing it into its mouth. The palmnut is green and almost as big as the head of the baboon. The baboon's mouth is wide open and the teeth of the upper jaw are visible, one touth is missing.
I just found out it's world monkey day 🐒
here are some Guinea baboon pictures 💚
On the left you can see an infant enjoying her rightful place in the spotlight (because both humans AND baboons just love babies), on the right is a kid stuffing her face with food #primates #worldmonkeyday #monkeyday
Super cool! We definitely need more research on females

Not mine, but here's a starter pack for primatology people 🐒🦍🦧
We’ve listed a few starter packs that we thought might be interesting to our members/researchers in animal behaviour. Feel free to add on to the thread if you have more suggestions! 🦍🦒🐐🐕🐑🐋🐍🦗

Fun times 😅
Sometimes it truly does 😄
Enjoy your talk! 🐒
That's me collecting data on Guinea baboons at our field site in Simenti, Senegal 🐒
#ScienceInAction
I can support that 😄
They are habituated 😂 just captured this photo during their nap time 😄
Thank you :)
I'd love to be added :)
The Birdsong Lab at the University of Lethbridge is seeking 1-2 motivated graduate students to join us starting in Fall 2025. Funding is available. (a🧵1 /6)
We published a paper investigating stress hormones in wild female Guinea baboons
