- Reposted by Chiara ZulbertiFully funded #PhDposition in Comparative Cultural Psychology @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social. We will use touchscreen experiments & eyetracking to study mental simulations in nonhuman apes & human children across different cultures. All info here: www.eva.mpg.de/career/posit... Please share / apply!🙏
- Reposted by Chiara ZulbertiOur final session focused again on methodologies 🧩 — with exciting applications from form-based approaches to assess chimpanzee gestures to facial action coding in rabbits 🐒🐇 @chiarazulberti.bsky.social #gradmeet25
- Had a wonderful time in Madagascar for #IPS2025! Thanks to everybody who attended my talk, shared interesting insights and to the old and new friends that made it so memorable. Also thanks to the lemurs and beautiful landscapes 🐒🌴
- Are you at IPS and really into gestures🤌? Come listen to my presentation "A formed-based approach to chimpanzee gestures" on Monday at 14:00 in the Tokyo conference room. Hope to see you there!
- Reposted by Chiara Zulberti📢 Our new paper is out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social! A step toward more comparable approaches in bioacoustics! We tested how different acoustic feature extraction and classification methods affect caller ID classification accuracy. Read about it here: 🔗 shorturl.at/F31Pb
- Reposted by Chiara ZulbertiToday, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive. Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

- Reposted by Chiara ZulbertiOur (@maelmleroux.bsky.social et al.) paper out today in #RSOS: we tested the ability of bonobos to process 'non-adjacent dependencies'. Surprisingly, unlike our prior work on chimps and marmosets, we found no evidence that they did so... royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
- Reposted by Chiara Zulberti🚨New in @science.org🚨 With Simon Townsend (@nccrlanguage.bsky.social) and Martin Surbeck, we have investigated whether wild bonobos can combine calls in complex combinations, similar to how humans combine words into sentences 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #ScienceResearch #AnimalCommunication
