Rising temperatures due to climate change are predicted to threaten the persistence of wild animals, but there is little evidence that climate change has pushed species beyond their thermal tolerance. The immune system is an ideal avenue to assess th... Read More about High temperatures are associated with decreased immune system performance in a wild primate..

Behavioural compatibility, not fear, best predicts the looking patterns of chacma baboons. Communications Biology, 7(1), Article 980. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-024-06657-w

Animal vigilance is often investigated under a narrow set of scenarios, but this approach may overestimate its contribution to animal lives. A solution may be to sample all looking behaviours and investigate numerous competing hypotheses in a single...
