Members of the MammalWeb team were at the County Durham Environment Awards ceremony to collect the Volunteer Group of the Year award on behalf of all our contributors. Left-to-right: Phil Stephens, Graham Smith, Jim Cokill, Sammy Mason and Russell Hill.
Being new to Blue sky gives us a chance to emphasise that all our wonderful contributors have been recognised by not 1 but 2 awards over recent months! Thanks to @nbntrust.bsky.social for the 2024 group award for wildlife recording, and @durhamcouncil.bsky.social for the 2024 volunteer group award!

Really enjoyed first #EHBEA2025 plenary
Hitting my soft-spots for reflective practice, observational wild primate research, & pics of vervet monkeys 🐒
Prof Russell Hill from @durhamanthropology.bsky.social considered how our presence can bias study subjects' behaviour 👀(🚨spoiler alert🚨 it does!)

Slide on a projector with Russell Hill speaking in front of it.
Great first plenary @ehbea2025.bsky.social by @prof-r-hill.bsky.social, who reflected on how the STRANGE framework, devised by @mikemwebster.bsky.social and Christian Rutz, relates to primate fieldwork (e.g. the impact of tolerance of human observers on social network datasets).

slide showing the conclusions of the studies : even when habituated the researcher presence has impact on the primate behavior, also these potential biases need to be investigated
Different studies show that the presence of human observers is not neutral at all : in some cases, the monkeys are more calm and reassured when humans are present (especially in relation to the presence of predators). These biases need to be taken into account #ASABWinter2024
