NEW! 🦠🦧 We revisited a perplexing paradox: do wildlife really pose less of a risk to human health as they become more endangered? Turns out, it's sampling bias all the way down: conservation risks correlate with disease surveillance blindspots. 🔓 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Viral diversity and zoonotic risk in endangered species
A growing body of evidence links zoonotic disease risk, including pandemic threats, to biodiversity loss and other upstream anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem health. However, there is little current...

Behavioral data can be very detailed but are usually aggregated and normalized in ways that smother the dynamics. Ben wrote a continuous-time Markov model to improve on this, and also wrote simulations for exploring and validating pipelines. All the code is here: github.com/BenKawam/ASN...
New paper!
We propose a framework to empirically study animal social relationships by modelling social network (SN) data as time-series—that is, without the need to aggregate them over time.

Bicolor banded langurs (Presbytis bicolor) are endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia, living in single-male or one-male multi-female groups. Threatened by habitat conversion for agriculture and collection for the illegal pet trade. Listed as Data Deficient. Photo:© sichaoma/iNaturalist/CC4.0.

Northern night monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus), also known as three-striped night monkeys and douroucoulis, are found in Venezuela and Brazil, north of the Amazon River. They live in family groups consisting of a mated pair and their offspring. Widespread in their range, but threatened by habitat loss.

Orangutans of Borneo and Sumatra are masters of the trees and symbols of rainforest life. With most of their habitat lost and populations slow to recover, they’re now critically endangered — but with protection, there’s still hope for their future. youtu.be/usiZwp-D-sU

Yesterday we had a special #MonkeyCruise stream in honor of Jane Goodall! Her contributions to primatology and our understanding of animal intelligence changed the worldview of whole generations and her caring and critical voice will be missed.

Heck's macaques (Macaca hecki) are endemic to Indonesia's North Sulawesi province, a mountainous region with many active volcanoes. Mostly terrestrial, they live in groups of up to 30 individuals. Threatened by habitat loss and forest fragmentation. Vulnerable. Photo courtesy of © Jono Dashper.

Blue monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis) are native to an extensive geographic range across Central and East Africa. Their diverse diet and adaptability allow them to thrive in fragmented and degraded forests. Although widespread, threatened by habitat loss, human encroachment, and hunting. Least Concern.

Black-footed gray langurs (Semnopithecus hypoleucos), also called Malabar sacred langurs, are endemic to the Western Ghats Mountains in India's southwest coast and a world heritage site rich in biodiversity. Threatened by forest degradation from human activities and hunting. Listed as Least Concern.

Not all sexual swellings signal fertility. Some signal strategy. In our new Current Biology paper, we show how gelada females “fake it” during male takeovers—and why it works.

Vieira's titis (Plecturocebus vieirai) are endemic to Brazil in a region referred to as the “Arc of Deforestation,” with the highest rates of forest loss. Threatened by severe habitat loss due to expansion of agriculture, cattle ranching, human settlements, and infrastructure. Critically Endangered.
