- Chimpanzees learn to blend sounds and gestures from their mothers, not fathers. New research in Uganda suggests maternal “communication templates” shaped ape societies for millions of years. #Primates #HumanEvolution #Anthropology #Primatology #Chimpanzee #Linguistics #Communication
- Coverage of my findings on chimpanzee arboreality in a savannah-mosaic in @sciencedaily.com.web.brid.gy. The need to safely access food at the ends of thin branches may have been the driving force for bipedal, and suspensory, behaviour to evolve in open habitat. #phd #chimpanzee #womeninscience
- "Adaptations to arboreal, rather than terrestrial, living may have been key in shaping the early evolution of the human lineage": @savannarhianna.bsky.social on evolution of bipedalism. #anthropology #chimpanzees #humanevolution 🧪
- Chimpanzees in Zambia have started a new trend: sticking blades of grass in their ears and butts. It’s not grooming. It’s fashion. And it's spreading. #Primates #AnimalCulture #Chimpanzee #SocialLearning #Primatology #PrimateCulture #AnimalBehavior
- 🚨 Preprint alert 🚨 – My first PhD paper is out as a preprint! Need a break from everything happening in the world? Time to focus on #great #apes 🐵✨. We investigated whether wild #bonobo infants develop more slowly than #chimpanzee infants, but the answer isn’t so clear-cut!

- To find out what great apes understand about others you have to create content they're actually interested in. Another unexpected skill from animal behaviour research! Links to listen in the bio. @chriskrupenye.bsky.social #HollywoodForApes #science #podcast #chimpanzee
- Back from the field! Didn’t all go as planned, but what a gorgeous time it has been! Super glad to see this #APELANG project started! An amazing team of 3 post docs and 3 research assistants collecting data in 3 #chimpanzee field sites in Uganda! Stay tuned! Also, I am officially leaving X today! 🐵
