New research! Authors examine camera trapping trends in Australia, finding strong taxonomic, geographic, and analytical biases, but also new ways to meet big conservation objectives. Great stuff! Glad to play a very small part. Congrats Tom and WildObs! ⚡️ www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Twitter migration post #2: Why do primates have bigger brains? Study shows that it’s not for efficient foraging. In the Panamanian rainforest, Ben Hirsch et al. compared how capuchins, spider monkeys, coatis, and kinkajous solve the same foraging puzzle. kops.uni-konstanz.de/server/api/c...
