Wild chimpanzees recorded waging ‘civil war’ with coordinated attacks between two groups New study describes what may be the first case of a unified community of chimps turning on itself

In a new paper, Dr Sylvain Lemoine brings together findings of non-human primate intergroup conflict and the socio-ecological factors related to violence escalation and extreme forms of "warfare" in chimpanzees and humans

The Gibraltar Macaques Project definitely left X and will only post here

Jane Goodall revolutionized animal research, but her work had some unintended consequences. Here's what we've learned from them. Following Jane Goodall's death, chimp experts explain how her early observations still influence our understanding of our ape cousins.

Nice piece on Jane Goodall's legacy, acknowledged and discussed in light to recent advances in our understanding of chimpanzee behaviour #janegoodall #chimpanzee

Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91 Jane Goodall Institute says ‘tireless advocate’ for natural world died in California during US speaking tour

It is with great sadness that we learn about Jane Goodall passing away. Pioneering, inspiring, a true animal lover and feminist, her dedication to chimpanzee conservation paved the way for generations of primatologists. 😥🙏🦧

And congratulations to Jeanne Thiodet for successfully completing her Master's degree in Ethology (Uni Sorbonne), also with a First! Project with the GMP evaluating the impact of the anthropogenic gradient on behaviour of Barbary macaques. @cam-archaeology.bsky.social

Congratulations to Eliott Mestrallet for completing his Master's degree with a First (PRIAM Paris-Saclay AgroParisTech)! Project with the GMP on tourist-macaque interactions and behavioural adaptations to touristic pressure. Great work!

Today at 1pm UK time the GMP will be featured in the Journal Club of the Centre for Comparative and Evolutionary Psychology from the University of Portsmouth!

Even in Gibraltar, winter can be quite cold. Here juveniles Barbary macaques huddling each other keeping warm and reinforcing social relationships #Gibraltar #Barbaryapes #Barbarymacaques

Winter is mating season in Barbary macaques, females can develop very large sexual swellings and get lots of attention from males, as here in Apes Den group #Gibraltar #barbarymacaques

The Gibraltar Macaques Project is devoted to the study of behaviour, ecology and conservation of the beautiful Barbary macaques from the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, in Gibraltar. Stay tuned for regular research news #universityCambridge #barbarymacaques #Gibraltar #behaviour #science
