PhD fieldwork is now well underway! I’m in Cantanhez NP for 4 months to explore the use of bioacoustics to monitor critically-endangered western chimpanzees! Lots of updates to come 🌍

Incredible front cover review!! A few very well deserved drinks in order for @acbowland.bsky.social & co.
Humans are not 'drinking alone': alcohol consumption is not unique to humans and may have benefits - including nutritional, medicinal or cognitive - in other species www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The evolutionary ecology of ethanol
The consumption of ethanol has frequently been seen as largely restricted to humans. Here, we take a broad eco-evolutionary approach to understanding …

Avian seed dispersal out of the forests: A view through the lens of Pleistocene landscapes
Many European woody species are light-demanding and fail to regenerate in the shaded interiors of temperate forests. Most of these species are dispersed by frugivorous and seed-caching birds. The spa....
