Alison Ashbury wrote a particularly moving obituary in memory of Dr Birutė Galdikas. One of the “Trimates”, she transformed our understanding of orangutans through a lifetime of fieldwork and conservation. Her legacy lives on in the forests she fought to protect and in the generations she inspired.

The Taï chimpanzees have featured prominently during the talks of the first day at #EFP2026, showing how long-term data greatly support the research of today. Long lasting field sites are important to answer the big questions.

From cooperation to conflict: Liran’s keynote explored how chimpanzees and bonobos reveal the evolutionary roots of cooperation, group identity, tolerance, and violence, offering new insights into the social foundations of human behaviour. 🧠🐒 #EFP2026

What a great Tuesday evening at the Early Career Networking Event organised by @edi-efp.bsk.my.social! 🎉 It was wonderful to see so many early-career researchers making new connections through Bingo. Thanks to everyone who joined—we hope these conversations continue during the conference! #EFP2026

Some talks feel like little earthquakes, unraveling how our biases fuel our views of the world and our research. Christine Webb @christinewebb.bsky.social gave a great plenary at #EFP2026! Her book will be the next addition to my bookshelf 📚

Christine Webb presented The Arrogant Ape. Drawing on primatology and animal cognition, she argues that human exceptionalism is more a cultural belief than a scientific fact. Seeing ourselves as part of—not above—the living world is a timely call for humility. #Evolution #AnimalBehaviour #EFP2026
