Researchers observed the primates switching social groups and passing information on where to find the ripest fruit

Most behavioural studies rely on systematic behavioural sampling, as observing and recording all behavioural events that occur is rarely feasible. Cho…

As climate change intensifies, scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about how animals will cope with a more unpredictable world. One way to gain insight is by studying how animals have alrea...

We studied spatial and behavioural interactions between young calves (< 6 months old) and conspecific females to understand social ontogeny in a wild Asian elephant population. We found differentiate...

Field studies of baboons, orangutans and chimpanzees suggest that social rank and group living can shorten and fragment sleep. The findings highlight the physiological costs of maintaining social bond...
