Using Social Network Analysis to Assess ‘Groupness’ in a Mixed-Species Zoo Exhibit of Tufted Capuchins (Sapajus apella) and Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) Open
Mixed-species groups have been recorded in various primates, including tufted capuchin and squirrel monkeys. Measures of their ‘groupness’ are typically based on factors such as group stability, social interactions, proximity, or behaviour…

Perceptions and reality in fisher coexistence with aquatic predators in the Peruvian Amazon Open
Humans and large aquatic predators compete for fish and negative interactions are widely reported as ‘human–wildlife conflicts’. When aquatic predators are perceived to damage fisheries or fishing equipment, lethal control can occur. The p…

Do mixed-species groups of capuchin ( <i>Sapajus apella</i> ) and squirrel monkeys ( <i>Saimiri sciureus</i> ) synchronize their behaviour? Open
In the wild, coordinated behaviour across group members is essential for maintaining spatial coherence, with potential implications for individual fitness. Such coordination often leads to behavioural synchrony (performing the same behavio…

Developing a user-centred system for long-term elephant monitoring Open
Originally envisaged as a three-year project, the Amboseli Elephant Research Project (AERP) has proved a labour of love for a small, dedicated team who have followed the life trajectories of more than 3,900 individual elephants over five d…

Anthropogenic risk increases night‐time activities and associations in African elephants (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>) in the <span>Ruaha‐Rungwa</span> ecosystem, Tanzania Open
Elephants face diverse threats from human activities and use temporal and social strategies to reduce human‐induced mortality risk. We used data from camera trap surveys in 2018–2019 ( n = 1625 independent detection events from 11,751 samp…

Procedural rights for nature – a pathway to sustainable decarbonisation? Open
Resource conflicts and human-environment conflicts are active across the globe. As planetary, carbon-induced climate change necessitates new responses, the policies and practices of decarbonisation add new dimensions to existing conflicts.…

Simulated poaching affects global connectivity and efficiency in social networks of African savanna elephants—An exemplar of how human disturbance impacts group-living species Open
Selective harvest, such as poaching, impacts group-living animals directly through mortality of individuals with desirable traits, and indirectly by altering the structure of their social networks. Understanding the relationship between di…

A Case Study Exploring the Use of Virtual Reality in the Zoo Context Open
Virtual Reality (VR) is now a popular tool in education and for engagement with the natural world, but to date little research has investigated its potential in a zoo setting. We aimed to gauge the interest of the visiting public in using …

Studying animal innovation at the individual level: A ratings-based assessment in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus [Cebus] sp.). Open
Large-scale studies of individual differences in innovative behavior among nonhuman animals are rare because of logistical difficulties associated with obtaining observational data on a large number of innovative individuals across multipl…

The multidimensionality of female mandrill sociality—A dynamic multiplex network approach Open
The structure and dynamics of primate social groups are shaped by the social relationships of its members. These relationships are based on different types of interactions and vary in relation to the identity of the interactants and over t…

Play in Elephants: Wellbeing, Welfare or Distraction? Open
We explore elephant play behaviour since (a) play has been proposed to represent a potential welfare indicator; and (b) play has been associated with long-term survival in the wild. We categorised play into four types, and investigate both…

The dynamics of grooming interactions: maintenance of partner choice and the consequences of demographic variation for female mandrills Open
A large body of evidence suggests that female Old World monkeys maintain selective long-term grooming interactions with fitness benefits. The last two decades have produced evidence that the regulation of social interactions among primates…
