There's been widespread coverage of a study by @uniexecec.bsky.social

For the first time, wild chimps have been pictured eating and sharing fruit containing alcohol

Excited to share that an article related to our recent review covering the evolutionary ecology of ethanol is now available online at @uk.theconversation.com!

Big thanks to @kjhockings.bsky.social, Matthew Carrigan, Amanda Melin, @evol-lab-ex.bsky.social, @exeter.ac.uk, @uniexecec.bsky.social.

Evidence is increasingly showing how ethanol is naturally present in sugary food.

🐒 When a severe drought hit a population of wild monkeys in Costa Rica, individuals with a stronger stress response were more likely to survive

Fresh off the road from an extraordinary 2 week Kenya fieldtrip where we saw more species of animals in the wild than I've seen in the past 5-10 years altogether. Some incredibly valuable conservation lessons learnt and amazing memories made! Asante sana to everyone involved! #Kenya #conservation

Looking good @brendangodley.bsky.social

An amazing 2 weeks on the Conserv & Biodiv MSc Kenya fieldtrip . Great cohort of students 🙌🏼 We hope you’re all inspired by the talented Kenyan scientists you met and feel better equipped to tackle complex conservation challenges. We even saw one of the famous white colobus monkeys of Mt Kenya 🌍

Just returned from our MSc Conservation & Biodiversity Kenya Field Course. I found time to VLOG capturing the main lessons, people, ecosystems and species we encountered. (links below). To all those that helped, "Asante Sana". 🌍🧪🦤 🐘 🦊 🦒🦜 🦁
