Rhianna Drummond-Clarke ‘First documentation and quantification of wild chimpanzee rock climbing’
Camera traps, Issa Valley TZ & Moyen Bafing, Guinea chimps
Rock vs tree climbing: more dynamic movements, biomech diff locomotor modes, reaching further- role of uneven substrates!
Amazing 😍

It’s been a pleasure hosting @hannahfrog.bsky.social here at Bangor the past two weeks on her visit from California! A rare treat having the full ZRCP PhD team in the same place in the world at the same time!
Great talk by @hannahfrog.bsky.social yesterday at @beps-bangor.bsky.social seminars! Full house and an interesting discussion of her preliminary findings on the ZRC physiological responses to habitat disturbance!

Look what the dog fetched up! @matthewcobb.bsky.social’s new biography of Francis Crick.
Folks, it’s like no other Crick biog. Full of new research, fresh insights, juicy stories, & it’s a romp.
Having watched this develop from the larval stage, it’s a thrill to hear it thunk! on my table

Camera-traps work best for surveying wildlife when site-level covariates are considered. Owain Barton led our study showing more cameras reduce error, longer deployments help only if occupancy varies, & ignoring key covariates can skews results
