After a lot of work, delays and difficulties, we are almost finishing the new @neoprego.org research base at Serra da Capivara! 🏗️🚧🏠
This base will provide great stability for us to continue doing long-term research on the capuchin monkeys of Serra da Capivara and their incredible culture.

We’re finishing our fieldwork season in Ubajara National Park 🇧🇷, where we collected🩸and other samples from the wild capuchin monkeys we study here.
Now we have a lot of samples to analyse from genetics to health indicators.

Can you see the snake near the nut-cracking anvil in the first 🌌? That is one of the dangers for capuchin 🐒 when going to the ground to use tools. In our new paper, we describe a snake attack on a capuchin in Ubajara Park 🇧🇷

Next week I’ll be testing those very low budget camera-traps. Colleagues told me they are good. Tired of spending lot of 💰 in camera-traps that don't last 1 year and there is no repair. At least those cheap ones I can just replace and don't worry about.

Beginning a long trip from 🇧🇷 to Thailand 🇹🇭! One of the fantastic sides of being a primatologist is the opportunity to visit new places and (re)connect to colleagues and friends working on different primates. #capcult #insidenatgeo @neoprego.org

Great discussion about barriers and lack of incentives for long-term fieldwork. We collect data that give base and context for ecology discussions, but it's a time-consuming and expensive activity, and our results are often not valued as some fancy meta-analysis.

After months of planning, buying equipment and materials, organizing trips and waiting for the cooperation of the monkeys, the 🩸 samples were safely delivery to the lab! Next step: extraction and sequencing 🐒 DNA! 🧬

With the excellent team formed by Larissa Vavaccarini @henriquerufo.bsky.social , Ezequiel, Cleicinha and Juca, we successfully capture several monkeys, which were safely sedated, examined, and released after we collected the material. #primatology

Our “field table” used in the activity of capturing and collecting blood from the monkeys, which we carried out last week. It was the first time we did this type of collection at Serra da Capivara, in this case we want to analyze the DNA of this population with unique behaviors! 🧪🐒

Back to Ubajara National park 🇧🇷. We’re looking for the known inividuals of capuchin monkeys and checking the new guys after more than a year. We’re going to be following them for a long time now, as part of the CapCult project and Wildlife Intelligence Group. @neoprego.org #insidenatgeo

Now is the peak of the cashew season at Serra da Capivara (northeastern Brazil). Capuchin monkeys here eat the apple, and can also open the nuts with stone tools to access the nutritious endosperm! 🧪🐒

Alguém teve a audácia de misturar cajuína com Fanta e chamar isso de Fanta sabor caju. Achei isso uma infâmia! Ainda mais que a lata tem a mesma cor! Distraídos como eu serão vítimas dessa desgraça! 🤢
