Hannah’s study will track 5-6 females across 6 different colobus groups to understand how anthropogenic disturbance affects their energetics, ovarian function, immunocompetence and parasite infection status.

Zanzibar red colobus sometimes nurse their offspring for much longer than other primates of similar body size. This ‘baby’ is clearly large and looks like a subadult. Yet the presumed mother still allows it to suckle. Lots of investment in the offspring! #primatology

Catching up on BBC Asia and The Arid Heart episode. The Gobi bears. That hit a bit deep for some reason. So few of them left.

Giving a talk about our work in Zanzibar on Thursday (together with students) to the School’s Zoology themed seminar series. Got some back up slides from before but kinda also want to make new some ones.

Some recent lemur pics from Madagascar. Did a field course there for two weeks. Indri and diademed sifaka are two of the more impressive primates which we saw at Andasibe/Analamazaotra/Mitsinjo!

Some assorted colobus pics from the Zanzibar trip. Mothers with brand new babies are always fascinating to watch.
