Shout-out to Katie King @katieking1110.bsky.social for an awesome poster on paternal care and fecal glucocorticoid metabolites in Red-bellied Lemur fathers. She looks at fluctuating concentrations pre- and post-birth & associations with care behaviors. #AABA2025 #PoopScience #BehavioralEndocrinology

Healthcare is a human right, and this is unacceptable.

$2,000,000,000,000. Two TRILLION Dollars. That's an incredible amount of lost healthcare.

If I’ve learned one thing from this ordeal, once you’re on a list it’s too late. Stop the lists from being made. Make them confront what their list making supports.

Stress responsiveness in a wild primate predicts survival across an extreme El NiΓ±o drought You have to enable JavaScript in your browser's settings in order to use the eReader.

After 9 years in the making, it's finally out (!) White-faced capuchins with a stronger stress response to previous droughts were more likely to survive a severe El NiΓ±o drought. Kudos to the heroic efforts of first authors Sofia Carrera and Irene Godoy. www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....
