New lab paper! We ran a vervet #foraging #experiment where we created both #scramble and #contest. This evened foraging success, but experiencing more #competition still led to #risk averse #decisions by the monkeys, showing the importance of this variable. www.frontiersin.org/journals/beh...

The problems with academic publishing in one graph. The big for-profit publishers get product for free and sell it back to us. Their profits rival those from the big tech companies. This is money that could have supported research, teaching and graduate students.
