What an amazing paper and picture Will. Huge congratulations!

If you are wondering whether given the chance chimps recreate the famous bone-throwing scene from 2001 Space Odyssey, have a look at this paper we published a couple of years ago.

No worries, thanks for resharing! The work included in this paper started during my masters and was finished the last year of my phd, so it was definitely a passion project.

A Natural Disaster Exacerbates and Redistributes Disease Risk Among Free‐Ranging Macaques by Altering Social Structure By simulating disease spread in free-living rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) before and after a hurricane, we demonstrate doubled pathogen transmission rates up to 5 years following the disaster, equ...

New year, new paper! We continue to unpick the interplay between ecological upheaval and sociality and show altered social structure could result in 2x disease transmission rates. Senior authored by the unstoppable @ctestard.bsky.social. In Ecology Letters: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I think it is absolutely wonderful that my first post here celebrates the fantastic work of @delphinedemoor.bsky.social. What a mammoth of a data base 😍 congratulations 🐬
