Primatology folks: Volume 20 of African Primates journal is now available online. Spread the word! primate-sg.org/african-prima…
Sharing our preprint, in review at Nature Communications! We found that over time, Rwenzori colobus core units show mean reversion to the optimal unit size that maximizes infant survival! Robust support for optimal group size theory in a wild population!! doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-106…

We are excited to share a milestone in the recovery of the mountain bongo. 🦌 In collaboration with partners in Kenya, we have officially secured a 15-year Special Use License (SUL) from the Kenya Forest Service to establish a bongo release site on the slopes of Mt. Kenya.

New paper out today (perfect for Valentines Day)!
We report the first description of same-sex sexual behaviour in Rwenzori Angolan colobus monkeys - and find it may play a role in male social bonding in their multilevel societies. ♥️🐒

Applications for ASP Small Research Grant proposals are now open! The deadline for application submission is March 20, 2026.
Award amounts range from $500 to $2000. We welcome proposals on primate research from wild, zoo, laboratory and sanctuary settings.
New paper from our Rwenzori colobus & Sam Stead's dissertation. We examined female glucocorticoids & found a U-shaped distribution with unit size! Females also had increase to parturition & a decrease throughout lactation. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
New lab paper! We ran a vervet #foraging #experiment where we created both #scramble and #contest. This evened foraging success, but experiencing more #competition still led to #risk averse #decisions, showing the importance of this variable. frontiersin.org/journals/beh…

Huge moment of pride watching my first PhD student Keren Klass present her years of data showing that #genetic diversity in howlers is counterintuitively increased in a #fragmented #landscape, while #microbiome tracks diet. @UTSCresearch

🦧✨ End the pet primate trade — support the Captive Primate Safety Act!
These brilliant, ultra‑social animals don’t belong in basements or backyards. They need family, trees, space, and a wild life — not isolation and suffering under our roofs.
