It's finally out! Our paper on optogenetic interrogation of the lateral line: www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
This one involved a lot of sweat and tears, and it was a real tour de force. It was also the last paper we got to write with Jim, so it's a special one (and hence, the tears).

Chimps combine calls to encode many more meanings than there are call types. Congrats to @tozbu.bsky.social from the ENES Bioacoustics Research Lab & Co👇

Versatile use of chimpanzee call combinations promotes meaning expansion
Chimpanzees uniquely use diverse combinatorial mechanisms to alter meaning in call combinations.

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information?
In @pnas.org, Luke Townrow and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly
