In a decades-long study, researchers have documented what appears to be the first observed “civil war” in wild chimpanzees.
The findings demonstrate that shifting social ties alone can fracture a once unified group and ignite sustained, deadly conflict among former allies. https://scim.ag/47QE8Qw

Graphical abstract illustrating the social consequences of infant kidnapping in wild geladas (Theropithecus gelada). The study monitors a 28-day period divided into a 14-day pre-kidnapping phase and ...
Very grateful to receive the Marconato–Marchesini Prize for research on evolutionary biology and species conservation for my PhD thesis by the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti 🐒 (in a wonderful venue in Venice!)

Our new publication is out and offers some interesting (and creepy) insights for the management of zoo-housed geladas! Yes, monkeys kidnap infants sometimes! Open access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

New paper 🚨 We analyzed 2500+ yawns from nearly 200 geladas across wild and captive groups, and found that their unique multimodal (“loud”) yawns may signal heightened emotional arousal!
