Had a wonderful time at #IPS2025!

More to come soon on how hormone profiles in male white-faced capuchins change during alpha male replacements (co-led w/ @meganpetersdorf.bsky.social)

Mine changes with nearly every hike in the Rockies and I don’t know what that says about me 😂 (Just an Alberta newb probably)

A couple of recent contenders

Walking in fields of wild lupines, larkspurs & sunnys thinking about Robin Wall Kimmerer’s question on why purple asters & yellow goldenrod look so beautiful together – their contrast isn’t just striking, but appears biologically meaningful, attracting more pollinators than either plant would alone

So incredibly grateful to have received an IPS @ips-primatenews.bsky.social Research Grant and an ASP Conservation Small Grant to support my research on capuchin behavioral and physiological flexibility to extreme environmental conditions! 🙏✨ Exciting things to come✨

Well my grant opportunity may have just been pulled out from under me and the country might be going down in flames, but at least the deer and wild turkeys still come to visit

Living in a state with hardly any people in it definitely has its perks. Not having a Trader Joe’s within a reasonable day’s drive is not one of them. Now my suitcase looks like this.

Fruiting figs + cloudy skies = happy monkeys and a whole lot of playtime

The holiday texts you love to get from family: “IS this a cappuccin??!”

👋 multiverse, I’m Nelle (rhymes w 🔔). Stoked to have finally boarded the BS train and see this community grow.

I’m a biologist studying hormonal and behavioral responses of wild primates to climate stressors.

Looking forward to connecting over research and the other things that make us us 👩‍🔬 ⮕ 🏔️🧗‍♀️📷🎨
