Our new paper, led by Nicolas Chapoy and Kathy Jack, shows capuchin alpha males have wider faces and bigger balls. Read on for discussion of trait variation with respect to pre- and post- mating competition! Was a large effort by a great team 😍😎🎉

Alcohol ingestion by animals is surprisingly widespread – and we’re starting to understand its impact Evidence is increasingly showing how ethanol is naturally present in sugary food.

Ran into our old friend Greg while searching for monkeys- it’s good to be home in Santa Rosa! 🐒🌳

I’ve also had a less welcomed reunion with the local chiggers. Any pro tips to stop the itching? 🙏🏼

Hello BlueSky!

I’m so excited to join this growing community of ethologists! I’m a PhD candidate at Tulane, studying vocal communication and dominance in white-faced capuchins.

I’m off to the field next week, but for now, a cautious encounter between a capuchin and Mexican hairy dwarf porcupine.

I'm still adding as I find more primatology peeps! Here is what I have so far!

Still buzzing from the white-faced capuchin conference in Santa Rosa a few weeks back! It was truly inspiring to hear about the history, ongoing research, and future directions of this amazing field site. KJack lab all in one place!
