TLDR: new paper headed up by @vestaeleuteri.bsky.social
& with an awesome team, incl @andrearavignani.bsky.social , showing chimps have rhythm in their drumming & differences b/w east & west drum rhythms!

Chimpanzee drumming shows rhythmicity and subspecies variation
Chimpanzees drum on the buttress roots of trees for communication. Eleuteri et al.
investigate the presence of key elements of musical rhythm and of regional variation
in chimpanzee buttress drumming....

Our new paper is out! 🐒🔊
We compared two wild chimpanzee populations and found that individuals adjust pant hoot acoustics based on context (feeding vs. travelling). Most patterns are shared, but subtle community differences may hint at a small role for vocal usage learning.
