everyone. Figured it might also be helpful for other folks looking for jobs in
the UK! Strong recommend for the civil service jobs – there are a lot being
advertised right now, and I know a few people who have recently joined. Please

<br />
One of the activities that we do is a colouring station where kids can colour in masks and learn a little about the animals. We've used masks from <a href="http://www.supercoloring.com/paper-crafts/paper-masks/animal-masks" target="_blank">supercoloring.com</a> and included a few facts about the animals that we study: chimpanzees, dogs, and parrots!<br />

We also run a little quiz show activity with the masks. After the kids have coloured in a chimpanzee and a dog mask, you can ask them these "chimpanzee vs. dog" questions and they hold up the mask that they think is the correct answer. Questions with a green dot next to them are easier, and questions with a red dot next to them are more challenging. [<i>Disclaimer: some of these questions give a simple answer -- but there are some abilities that both dogs and chimpanzees have. We haven't created the perfect quiz, but we believe it's at a good entry level for primary/elementary school kids!</i>]</div>

And as always, if your kids (or you!) have any followup questions about animal behaviour, I'll do my best to answer them! You can comment on this post or tweet at me <a href="https://twitter.com/kirstyegraham" target="_blank">@kirstyegraham</a>. Happy colouring!</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I haven’t
done a blog post in a long time. I guess I haven’t really felt inspired or
maybe I just didn’t have the time. So let’s get the new decade rolling with a
fiery <b>*WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE UNION*</b> blog post.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

member of the <a href="https://www.ucu.org.uk/" target="_blank">University and College Union</a>, or <a href="https://www.ucu.org.uk/" target="_blank">UCU</a>,
which is the union for higher education and further education in the UK. If you
spend any time around universities in the UK, you’re probably aware of the
strikes that have happened over the last couple of years. We went on strike
over pensions in Spring 2018, and we have just been on strike again and
continue to follow Action Short of Strike (ASOS) over (1) pensions, and (2) pay
inequality, job insecurity, rising workloads, and pay deflation. Each
university union branch votes over whether to engage in industrial action, and
currently a number of branches that were close but didn’t quite get the turnout
are now re-balloting. UCU is in discussions with employers, and we will find
out at the end of January whether there will be further industrial action. I highly recommend checking the Twitter hashtags <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ucustrike&src=typed_query" target="_blank">#UCUstrike</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ucustrikesback&src=typed_query" target="_blank">#UCUstrikesback</a> for uplifting picket line content.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Growing a Union</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">One thing
that is evident on the picket lines is that union membership is unevenly
distributed across departments (I'm looking at you, natural sciences). Some departments at my university
(hiya, social sciences) have 90% union membership,
where my department doesn’t even have a union rep. This is something that we desperately need to address at a grassroots level.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I am THAT
loud union voice in my department, and this week I was loud at a meeting. After
that meeting I was contacted by two separate people interested in helping to
build the union in our department, as well as a departmental discussion that
could benefit from union presence. The desire for union building is there, we just need to reach it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What I wish I'd known years ago is : if you are
a PhD you can <a href="https://www.ucu.org.uk/join" target="_blank">join UCU</a> free as a student or as a
student who teaches (two different options). The latter allows you to apply to the fighting fund
if you decide to strike. There is a national fighting fund (<a href="https://www.ucu.org.uk/fightingfund" target="_blank">donate here</a>) and
most branches have local fighting funds, which can help to cover some of the
lost pay during strike action.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">"But I love
my job – I get paid to do research – why should I join a union?"</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Loving your
job is exactly WHY you should join a union. Loving your job does not exclude
you from stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues brought on
by the increased casualization of our labour. Loving your job does not mean
that you should put up with things that hurt you. When we all stand together,
everyone who loves their job, we can make our jobs better. And – particularly of
importance in the current industrial action – those who have more secure
positions can fight for those who don’t. Working together improves the system
for everyone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Being in a
union isn’t just about going on strike. It’s about everyday actions of
solidarity, about local campaigns, shifting policy within departments and
within universities. Building a strong union in our own universities
strengthens a community of university staff. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So that’s
my pitch. Unions are vital for workers, and university workers ARE workers too. There is power in a union. </span></div>

Join me as I unpack and lay bare the whole of my material life while on fieldwork.<br />
<br />
[Note that my fieldwork is based in tropical regions - some of this information will be useful for fieldwork in other regions, but it's not universal advice] 😊<br />
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br />
<br />
<h3>
My Field Clothes </h3>
<br />
Let's start off with field clothes and the name of the game is quick dry - lightweight
clothes that don't hold moisture and that dry off as you're wearing
them. Doesn't have to be fancy - when I don't need a special fieldsite
T-shirt (like this one at Tangkoko), I usually grab a couple of lightweight button up shirts from a thrift shop. I also really like rubber boots, but it's important to find footwear that works for you. Wellies are great for wet climates and they stop things scratching your ankles, and I really like them. But I know some people find they are heavy, sweaty, or don't have much ankle support. Best recommendation: try out and break in your footwear <i>before </i>fieldwork.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="My field clothes all laid out: quick-dry socks, quick-dry undies, sports bra, project shirt, lightweight hiking trousers, buff/bandana, digital watch, belt, rubber boots" border="0" data-original-height="461" data-original-width="1065" height="276" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lnsewG5FtvM/XSdIt7wpXPI/AAAAAAAABhw/pH1_IivMApU8k43PKJRHqbKH3V41kcNFgCLcBGAs/s640/field%2Bclothes.JPG" title="Field clothes" width="640" /> <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
My Hip Pack</h3>
</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
This is my hip pack/bum bag/fanny pack (pick whichever makes you giggle most). I wear it around my waist so that it's nice and easy to reach all of the equipment that I might need in a pinch. It's much easier than rummaging through a backpack every time you need your notebook or camera. I wear the binoculars cross-body, slung around my neck and one arm, but I've heard good things about binocular harnesses [<a href="https://www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/binocular-harness.php" target="_blank">find reviews here</a>].<br />
<br />
<img alt="Equipment and hip pack all laid out on the floor: pen and notebook, satellite phone, power bank, binoculars, GPS and drybag, 4K video camera and external microphone, spare batteries for camera and microphone" border="0" height="276" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-phalC3FSESE/XScf8dzcf3I/AAAAAAAABgs/rmx0ahlCWCII7TAhU2gixitCleTVnQHEwCLcBGAs/s640/Hip%2BPack.JPG" title="Equipment in my hip pack" width="640" /> <br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">*I use rechargeable batteries for my GPS and strongly encourage you to use them too! I only have single-use batteries in this photo because the rechargeable AAAs that I brought weren't holding charge for our laser pointers - I should have researched and found the best rechargeable AAAs before fieldwork. Also note that rechargeable batteries are slightly thicker, so check that they fit your equipment first - they did not fit in some of our remote controls.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
My Backpack</h3>
<br />
This is my backpack. I use it to carry heavier/bulkier items that I don't need that often. The backpack has an attached rain cover (very useful during the rainy season!) and an emergency whistle (that I've thankfully never had to use). Hot tip for field equipment: <a href="https://www.lifestraw.com/" target="_blank">Lifestraw</a> do a filter that attaches to a
water bottle, lasts 40,000 litres, and filters out almost all
parasites/bacteria/viruses. Handy if your fieldsite doesn't have a water
filter, and also in an emergency if you need to get water off site. Also, the amount of water that you need to take out with you every day is going to vary by fieldsite.<br />
<br />
Things to think about for your fieldwork backpack: - Does it fit
everything you need? - Does it have a waist strap so the weight can be
supported on your hips not shoulders? - Does it have a back vent for
your sweaty back? - Does it have pockets that work for you? - Is it
purple?<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="My backpack and all the equipment laid out around it: first aid kit, sunscreen, bug repellent, hand sanitizer, sun hat, head lamp, umbrella, tiny chair, trail map and compass, lunchbox, rain jacket and trousers, 5 litre dry bag, 2.5 litres of water" border="0" height="276" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VAf8tKdegf4/XScf8Z62MWI/AAAAAAAABgw/IQF7Z62-kY88P_jj423Pt1PDDRCIoUBawCLcBGAs/s640/Back%2BPack.JPG" title="Equipment in my backpack" width="640" /> <br />

Next up in my field kit is First Aid, but the first step to fieldwork health is prevention 👏vaccinate👏vaccinate👏vaccinate👏 Go consult your doctor or travel clinic. Masta Health also has an online tool to check recommended/required vaccines by country <a href="https://www.masta-travel-health.com/Booking/Travel">https://www.masta-travel-health.com/Booking/Travel</a> <br />
<br />
Here's a quick look at my First Aid kit (there's an itemised list below). New to me this field season is that sterile kit - it's a selection of sterile needles and things in case there's an emergency and I need an IV. Good to have, hope I never need it. (Typo in the photo: latex-FREE gloves)<br />
<br />
<img alt="My first aid kit all laid out: latex-free gloves, thermometer, vitamins and iron, creams, gels, ointments, stomach and UTI medicine, malaria medicine, sterile kit, bandages, tiger balm, pain relief, cold and allergy medicine" border="0" height="276" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KE7yZpdGkqQ/XScf7pxx9TI/AAAAAAAABgo/_xNMfiir47sldtHD3rcakwPFo0pSLmsRACLcBGAs/s640/First%2BAid%2BKit.JPG" title="First aid kit" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Here is a list put together for everyone in our research group before our fieldwork started. Different environments have different health risks, so your ideal First Aid Kit might not look like mine, but this gives you a good base. As with any medication, check with your doctor first and stay aware if anything starts to react badly - for example, I found doxycycline was incredibly harsh on my stomach and had to switch to another antimalarial. Just things to keep in mind 😊 And fieldsites often have recommended lists of things to bring too!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><u>Portable first aid: </u><br />Tensor bandage; triangular bandage & pins; savlon dry spray; tweezers; non-adhesive dressing; tape; plasters/blister plaster; sting relief cream & antihistamines; paracetamol; water purifying & electrolyte tabs. <br /><br /><u>Travelling in car</u> (stays at camp when not in use):<br />Sterile Kit; Gloves <br /><br /><u>Camp first aid kit:</u> <br />Tick fork; Thermometer; Malaria test kit; Latex-free gloves; de-worm/de-amoeba; psyllium seeds (constipation relief); instant cool for burns (ice cold); iodine & TCP; Calomine lotion; Vaseline – for mango flies; Cling film – for mango flies; Savlon dry spray; Antihistamine; Eye patch & eye drops; Antimalarials; Steri strips; medical tape; paracetamol; ibuprofen; Imodium – diarrhoea relief; Sennokot (constipation relief); thrush cream – also great for foot fungus!; hydrocortisone cream; sore mouth gel; electrolytes; cystitis treatment; charcoal tablets; hand sanitizer; antibiotic cream; Life systems 50+ insect repellent; strepsil/lemsip (sore throat); gaviscon/antacid</span> <br />

Menstruation in the field</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It's that time of the month! What do you take in your field kit to prepare for your period? Different people will find that different things work for them, so instead of me giving you advice, here's a great video from <a href="https://twitter.com/Ehmee">@Ehmee</a>: <br />

It can be uncomfortable to ask about periods & fieldwork so a close friend of mine <a href="https://twitter.com/OutdoorsPeople">@OutdoorsPeople</a> put together <a href="https://www.theoutdoorspeople.com/blog/2017/3/22/expedition-information-for-people-who-have-periods" target="_blank">this pamphlet (click here)</a> that leaders can hand out to students before a trip. It's designed for camping in the UK but has useful advice for any field trip. <br />

Sleepytime 😴</h3>
<br />
It's almost bedtime, so here's my setup. Night time
temperature can be variable so I have three different options from thin
cotton sheet to three layers. I've heard people recommend silk sleeping bag liners which sound great, but I have a half/half sleeping bag (half cotton sheet and half thin sleeping bag) that is absolutely magic!! And
a boxy mozzy net that doesn't slope and touch my feet. Good night y'all xx<br />

<br />
<b>I am highly averse to conflict.</b><br />
<div>
<b></b><br /></div>
Aversion to conflict seems to run counter to the traditional academic ideal – people engaging in lively debates over coffee, at conferences, in meetings, after talks, on Twitter, in their papers. Debates that can turn into deep arguments that last an entire career. This conflict and competition is thought to fuel academic knowledge, pushing forward research in new and exciting directions.<br />
<br />
I do not enjoy conflict. Not in the “loud shouting matches make me uncomfortable” kind of way, but in a “chest-tightening anticipation of what light disagreements could turn into” kind of way. It’s not specific to academia – my aversion to conflict affects my interactions with everyone, from friends and family to complete strangers. One of my more frank relatives once told me, “<i>you’re too diplomatic, you are so careful about what you say and you try to be that buffer for other people too. Isn’t it exhausting? Don’t you just want to say what’s on your mind? You’re smart and have great ideas and people would love to hear them without your filter on.</i>”<br />
<br />
Y’all don’t really need to know about the roots of my conflict aversion. Suffice it to say that I spend a not insignificant amount of energy managing and avoiding conflict across various relationships, and I’m very aware that I’m probably doing a lot of this unnecessarily. It’s a work in progress.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How does conflict aversion play out in my academic life?</b><br />
<br />
Honestly, most of the time it’s not a big deal. Our day-to-day jobs in academia tend to be pretty independent and solitary. The group interactions that I have on a daily basis are all collaborative. I am extremely capable and confident in these settings, and that they make up the bulk of our work means that I’m not concerned about conflict aversion making me “bad” at my job.<br />
<br />
What it does mean is that I’m unlikely to ever be that person who comes up with their pet theory and continuously works at it and stands by it and sees its relevance everywhere. I think that there is value in having people pushing for their cause against another person/group pushing for a competing cause. But I know that that’s not something I can do. And I also know that there are plenty of other people out there in a similar boat, which is why I’m writing this blog post.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b></b><br /></div>
<div>
<b>What does conflict aversion look like in academic disagreements?</b></div>
<div>
<b></b><br /></div>
When I am challenged on something that I’ve said, I first feel panicked that I have upset someone with my words (this is my high conflict aversion shining through). I then rush to see their point of view. Later on I’m able to reflect on and interrogate my actual thoughts on whatever their point was. It’s a whole process that will probably leave me feeling somewhat uncomfortable for a while (length of time depends on depth of challenge). And at the end of that, I will have incorporated some new ideas into my perspective on the subject. I will also (this is the conflict aversion again) be more sensitive when bringing up this or a similar topic in future.<br />
<br />
While there are aspects of academia that I’ll probably always find emotionally challenging, being highly averse to conflict has taught me a set of skills that are useful for collaboration and critical thinking. I don’t think that there is any one way to do academia right, nor do I think that any of you think that. Science is improved by having a diverse set of approaches from people with a diverse set of experiences. We all contain multitudes and we bring those multitudes with us to our research. If you, like me, experience high conflict aversion, please don’t question your place in academia because of it. You belong here just as much as any of us. (And if you ever want a sympathetic ear to talk to about your experiences, I'm always happy to listen! Just drop me and email or DM)<br />

(and how do we find out?)<div class="MsoNormal">
One small part of our project this year is collecting poop
samples from a few of the crested macaque mothers (and control poop samples from other females)
to check out their health. We want to see the total number of parasites per
sample and the types of parasites per sample, which we can identify to the
genus level. Now I’ve never done parasite analysis before, but <a href="https://twitter.com/apasetha" target="_blank">Andre Pasetha</a> (my PhD
student counterpart) is an expert, so I’ve come to <a href="https://ipb.ac.id/" target="_blank">IPB in Bogor</a> for one week for Andre
to show me how it’s done.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><i>Step One</i></u>: Collect your monkey poop. With a small stick, scoop the end of the poop into the tube. There are different methods of preserving the poop, depending on how you want to analyse the parasites. Since we’re only counting them and identifying to genus, we can preserve them in formalin, but if you want them to survive so you can grow a culture, you need a different way of storing them.</div>

Today, I was just learning how to get to this point in the process. Next, Andre will be looking through all of these slides to count and identify the parasites. I asked him how he keeps track of all the parasites, and he said that he’s actually going to be using microscopes in another lab where he'll set up the microscope slide and coverslip with a grid so that he can count the number of poop critters in each grid square. In today’s samples we found Balantidium coli – commonly found in macaque poop.

Today I’m taking a sick day, because I’ve got that nasty freshers’ flu. Am trying to beat it before it knocks me down completely. That gives me a little bit of time to reflect on my first months as a postdoc:</div>

<b>What is a “postdoc”?</b></h2>
<div>
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a PhD student, I was paid to do research but was still a student. Being a postdoc is just on the other side of that professional line, where I still do research and get paid but I’m no longer a student, although what I actually do from day to day hasn’t changed that much. Still a lot of planning research, conducting research, attending talks, reading articles. And although my work hasn’t changed much, actually <i>because </i>my work hasn’t changed much, I’ve gotten much better at it!<o:p></o:p></div>

From being independent to working in a team </h2>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My PhD was my own project, and while my supervisor gave excellent guidance, I decided a lot of things and ran the research largely independently. Now my Postdoc position is in a bigger research group made up of 1 PI, 2 postdocs (although 1 hasn’t started yet), and 3 PhDs. It’s pretty exciting to have that new teamwork experience.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Working in a team might eventually present challenges, but for the moment it’s fun to figure out how we can all divide the work that needs doing before we start the study and then how to coordinate our identical methods across 3 species and 4 study groups. So far, we’re doing a good job at communicating with one another, and that’s going to be key as the project progresses.</div>

<b>Finishing up papers</b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the trickier parts of starting a postdoc is finding time to finish older projects. I still have two chapters of my PhD thesis to publish. But planning the fun new stuff often takes precedent to finishing those old papers. This is totally something that I need to just make time for – in fact, I’ve found that blocking out a day for “Paper x” is the best way to ensure I work on it. And then making sure that once coauthors respond with their comments, that I schedule another day to work on the paper.<br />
<br />
There’s a lot of planning and discipline that goes into navigating a postdoc.. I recently introduced a friend to the phrase "it's like herding cats". It was in reference to trying to get PhD students to all show up to the same place at the same time (LOL), but I sometimes think about my multiple projects as cats that need herding too.<br />

<br /><b>Finding other postdocs in the department</b></h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I started my postdoc in July and the middle of the summer is a tricky time to meet people. Once term started and all of the PhD students were having their welcome events, it was much easier to piggy back into the Early Career Researcher group. But it’s still been hard to find other postdocs. For some reason, we’re just not a very visible group in the department. No-one that I’ve asked has known the exact number of postdocs, but estimate around 20-30. I think I’ve met about 7. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s fine though, because the inbetweeny postdoc stage has allowed me to meet PhD and staff and faculty friends. It would just be nice for future postdocs if there was a better way of welcoming and inviting them to events. Maybe that’s something for me to work on.<o:p></o:p></div>

All in all, I’ve enjoyed these first few months. Some days are really hectic and there are a lot of things to organise. But it’s a really fun job and I do love organising, so that’s not too much of a hardship. And the best part of being a postdoc is that I don’t have a thesis looming at the end of this contract. Just a lot of papers!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I<span style="font-family: inherit;"> move A LOT. And it doesn’t get any freakin’ easier. The longest I’ve ever (in my whole life) lived in one place is 7 years, and most places around 3 years. I moved to York a week ago and have been struggling with feelings of loneliness. It’s like every time I have a solid friendship circle, it’s time to move away again. [Disclaimer: I’m very privileged to lead the life I do; this post is just about one of the aspects that I struggle with]</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <i style="font-family: inherit;">[Disclaimer #2] I started this blog post and Twitter poll on Tuesday morning and in the afternoon was hit with some pretty heavy family stuff, which compounded all the feels.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Academics, and Early Career Researchers in particular, often have to move to follow jobs and fieldwork, and attempt to solve the "2 body problem" (finding a place for self and partner). Half the people that answered my poll had moved 2-5 times in the last 10 years, and a quarter moved more than 5 times. </span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I was counting the times I'd moved to a different town or country but found that lots of people had the experience of moving within the same town because of temporary contracts (and I'd moved within St Andrews too, because of fieldwork). The logistics of moving can be stressful in and of themselves, and having the uncertainty of those temporary contracts forcing you to move sounds horrible!</span><br />

</span> <span style="font-size: large;">There's also the point that while you might not move house, moving university and commuting can be really hard - like having two separate lives, going on (1) where you live and (2) where you work.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">63% said that making friends was the hardest part. But 14% said "Nothing, I love moving!" which is also important to acknowledge. While my own experience is one of "Oh no, I had such great friends and now I have to work really hard to find people that amazing", plenty of people enjoy the process of making friends. And that's really cool!</span><br />

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><span style="font-size: large;">Holly's comment really struck a chord - "it's missing the old stuff". I think I can do moving and settling into a physical space, but I really miss the old friendships that I left behind.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Joining clubs and things is a good way of meeting people outside of the department, and my final question was "in the end, where were most of your new friends?"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's not massively surprising that most people make most of their friends within the department. I'd be really curious to see how this demographic changes the longer you live somewhere. Whether it would start to shift towards people outside the department and university as you met people in different ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">So, yeah, my difficulties moving this time have probably been really affected by personal stuff that's going on simultaneously (when it rains, it pours - am I right?) However, it sounds like a lot of people find it hard to make friends at first, and there's not always the university or departmental structures in place to include newcomers. I've been pretty lucky coming to York, and it would be great if, in a career where so many people have to move so regularly, there were more standard procedures across academia for welcoming people. </span><br />

As some of you know, <a href="https://twitter.com/NakedPrimate" target="_blank">Cat Hobaiter</a> and I are putting together an online experiment to test human understanding of great ape gestures. This means pulling together video examples of all of our gestures, but we need to make sure that the gestures will be visible for everyone. Cat and I (and many of our colleagues) are used to looking past branches, with shaky cameras and digitally brightened videos. We are going to pick the clearest videos possible for the experiment, but I'm curious - how well can you spot a gesture?<br />

Were any of those gestures impossible to spot? Which condition was the hardest? After I hyped up the viewing difficulty at the top of this post, was it easier or harder than you expected to spot the gesture?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are aiming to have the full experiment online by July, so WATCH THIS SPACE. We are also creating a website to host video examples of each gesture type for both bonobos and chimpanzees, so that you can finally actually see what the different gestures look like. </div>

It's been a change of pace since December, a different kind of "fieldwork". I'm working at the <a href="https://www.pri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/" target="_blank">Primate Research Institute</a> in Inuyama, Japan. The team at PRI have been filming <a href="http://www.greencorridor.info/" target="_blank">wild chimpanzees at Bossou, Republic of Guinea</a>, for the last <b>30 years</b>. The video was used shortly after filming, by watching through a TV and coding directly. But most of the video is on tapes! VHS, Hi8, DV, even Betacam. Now we're working on a project to digitize all of the tapes, saving them to hard drives.<br />
<br />
Digitizing the video will make it easier for future researchers to re-watch and code data through a computer. It will also protect the video footage. I didn't realise before, but <b>VHS can go mouldy</b>! Digitizing the tapes quickly should ensure that none of the video is lost.<br />
<br />
This is a pretty big project, and many more people will continue to digitize after I leave. And the Bossou video isn't the only video that needs digitizing - <b>so many universities and organisations have their own sets of tapes in the basement</b>. I've made several videos to show how to use the digitizing system here at the Primate Research Institute: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HekHwC4KQe8" target="_blank">VHS</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYDLVOgsJHI" target="_blank">Hi8</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EuvHVhOZcM" target="_blank">DV</a>. It was fun Googling how to set everything up, but why put everyone else through the rigmarole?<br />

This is just one tiny project at Primate Research Institute, but they do many more exciting things. They have an awesome <a href="http://www.wildlife-science.org/index-en.html" target="_blank">Primatology and Wildlife Science graduate program</a> and they run <a href="http://www.wrc.kyoto-u.ac.jp/kumasan/indexE.html" target="_blank">Kumamoto Sanctuary</a> for retired biomedical chimpanzees (and 6 bonobos). Researchers conduct fieldwork and captive research alike. There always seems to be some kind of event going on, from weekly seminars to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ConservSession/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Conserv'Session</a> documentary screenings. If I hadn't just finished a PhD, I'd definitely consider applying here...kirstyegrahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00624555099403553771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50851229833506018.post-71937073602984590472016-11-30T06:15:00.000+00:002016-11-30T06:15:38.944+00:00Bonobos in the News<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Bonobos use
68 gestures, around 90% of which are shared with chimpanzees. In some species,
signals are given only by males and received only by females – think <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sj-UdjqlFw" target="_blank">bird of paradise mating displays</a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">. But bonobo males and females,
young and old, all produce and receive pretty much the same gesture types.
There are some gestures that only adults produce and only young understand,
e.g. gestures that ask the young to climb on the adult’s back. But these
gestures are few and throughout an individual’s lifetime, everyone should have
the opportunity to use and receive all gesture types. Thinking about the
massive overlap with chimpanzees, the next question is “do bonobo and
chimpanzee gestures <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mean </i>the same
thing?”. I’ll keep you posted!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Nahoko and
I were following an adult female, Hide, who was carrying what seemed to be a
miscarried infant. She carried the infant carefully all day, and then suddenly
took a bite out of it! Hide was a dominant female and she ate most of the
infant, which is what you’d expect in a meat-eating or -sharing event. Deborah
was at Kokolopori when field assistants saw another cannibalism event. This
time, the meat was controlled by a dominant female (not the mother) but the
mother also ate pieces. The event at Kokolopori sounds similar to <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajp.20802/abstract" target="_blank">a case at LuiKotale</a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">. So now we’ve seen maternal
cannibalism (mothers eating their babies) at three different places, which
makes it look like it might not be so unusual. We’re still not sure what drives
maternal cannibalism – it could be nutritional. Maybe events like these can
tell us something about how bonobo mothers consider the deaths of their
infants, but we’ll (unfortunately) need more examples first.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

reads a menu these days he has to hold it at arm’s length. So would Nao, if she
could read. Nao is a 40+ year old female bonobo. As bonobos get older they
become more long-sighted. We measured this by looking at the grooming distance
– how far is it between their eyes and their fingertips when they’re grooming
another bonobo? They should keep their fingers at the point of focus from their
eyes. Forty-years seems to be the point where bonobos, like humans, start to
“hold the menu further away”. Bonobo eyes seem to age like human eyes. One of
our side findings, which I think is quite sweet, is that while human ears
continue to grow forever (sorry grandpa, I’m talking about you!), there was no
difference in ear length for young and old bonobos (the caveat being that none
of our bonobos is over 60). They all just have pretty big ears.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I’ve been at Kalinzu research station in
Uganda for just over a week, and it’s hard not to think of Wamba while I’m
here. I’m constantly making comparisons!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">To start with, Kalinzu is much easier to
get to. It’s about a six-hour drive along a paved road all the way from
Kampala. We have a 4x4 for the last section into the forest, but it’s still
easy to get to compared to Wamba’s charter flight and motorbike expedition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Easier transport means different food.
There’s also reliable electricity, so we have a refrigerator with cold soda and
beer!! Samuel, the cook, is amazing. There is a wider variety of ingredients
available here than at Wamba, and with them he can cook all sorts of Japanese
specialties (Kalinzu, like Wamba, is run by Kyoto University).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">As you will perhaps have noticed by my more
regular Tweets, there is also internet. Wamba doesn’t have any mobile phone
reception, but Kalinzu does. Which is nice, but also, at Wamba I’m pretty happy
being able to avoid all administrative work via email. I don’t have the same
sort of excuse here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The forest is also very different. The
canopy is shorter. And although there are small streams, there is no swamp! I
will not miss the ‘poto poto’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">What has struck me most about Kalinzu is
the species diversity and density – there are many more monkeys here than at
Wamba, probably because people don’t hunt them here. We regularly have colobus
monkeys visit the camp, and every day I have seen blue monkeys and red tail
monkeys. It definitely makes you wonder whether bonobos at Wamba would hunt
monkeys if there were more monkeys to hunt…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
After Evolang, I wrote a sentence-long synopsis of each of the talks and thought I'd do the same for "Chimpanzees in Context". It was a smaller symposium before the big IPS/ASP (primatology) conference in Chicago, so I was actually able to go to all of the talks (You'd need a time-turner to go to everything at IPS)! Chimps in Context was 2 days long and held at Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a nice warmup for the big conference at Navy Pier, which was 6 days long and hosted ~1500 people! I've been sleeping off that conference for the past week...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>Jane Goodall</b> –<br />
Reminiscing about Gombe and telling hopeful stories, with a “Jane-Lilian-Jane” sandwich:<a href="http://news.janegoodall.org/2015/07/20/lilian-pintea-webinar-on-55-years-of-science-at-gombe/" target="_blank"> Lilian Pintea discussed GIS projects</a> at Gombe and beyond.<br />
<br />
<b>Elizabeth Lonsdorf</b> – “Growing up chimpanzee: studies of behavioral development in a comparative perspective”<br />
<div>
There are differences in mother’s interactions with male or female offspring, and male offspring spend more time playing with adult males.<br />
<br />
<b>Gottfried Hohmann</b> – “Temporal patterns of development in bonobos and chimpanzees”</div>
<div>
Female bonobos go through puberty earlier than female chimpanzees, and this may facilitate earlier transfer to another group.<br />
<br />
<b>Melissa Emery-Thompson</b> – “Chimpanzee reproduction in context: a lifespan perspective”</div>
<div>
Compared the reproductive strategies and interbirth intervals of non-human great apes and hunter-gatherer people.<br />
<br />
<b>Cheryl Knott</b> – “Ecology and the energetics of reproduction in the Hominoids”</div>
<div>
Energy input and variability in food sources may affect life history of great apes – orangutans have a larger interbirth interval, possibly due to high seasonal variation in fruit availability.<br />
<br />
<b>Josep Call</b> – “Communication and coordination in chimpanzees and orangutans”</div>
<div>
Gesturing to request tools? But no spoilers here, just WATCH THIS SPACE, there’s some cool research coming out of Call’s group.<br />
<br />
<b>Masaki Tomonaga</b> – “How chimpanzees perceive faces: An update after nine years of investigation”</div>
<div>
Testing chimpanzees’ facial perception using similar techniques to humans (at IPS, Tomonaga presented this cool study looking at reactions to conspecific eyes). <br />
<br />
<b>Lydia Hopper</b> – “Chimpanzee social learning: A comparative perspective”</div>
<div>
Chimpanzees learn a behaviour from an agent (a human’s hand) better than from a mechanical substitute (a grabbing claw). <br />
<br />
<b>Mike Beran</b> – “Cognitive control in chimpanzees”</div>
<div>
Chimpanzees are able to inhibit behaviour for a better reward, and they <a href="http://www.livescience.com/1829-leafing-magazines-chimps-exhibit-control.html" target="_blank">use toys and magazines to distract themselves</a>! <br />
<br />
<b>Cat Hobaiter</b> – “Gestural communication in Pan: tracing the origins of language”</div>
<div>
We can work out the meaning of great ape gestures by looking at the reaction of the recipient that satisfies the signaller: the Apparently Satisfactory Outcome (ASO).<br />
<br />
<b>Jared Taglialatela</b> – “A comparison of socio-communicative behavior in chimpanzees and bonobos”</div>
<div>
Chimpanzees direct their calls to other individuals and combine their calls with other signals more than bonobos do. <br />
<br />
<b>Zanna Clay</b> – “Vocal communication in Pan: Insights into underlying social awareness and the evolution of language”</div>
<div>
Young male bonobos test their social standing using vocalisations directed towards adults. <br />
<br />
<b>Simon Townsend </b>– “Chimpanzee food calling: implications for the evolution of human semanticity”</div>
<div>
When two groups of chimpanzees were combined, one group acquired the same vocalisation for “apples” as the other group.<br />
<br />
<b>Mollie Bloomsmith</b> – “A simple chimpanzee welfare assessment tool: application across chimpanzees living in different types of facilities”</div>
<div>
Survey of labs, zoos, and sanctuaries reveals one is not superior across all aspects, and all have room for improvement.<br />
<br />
<b>Georgia Mason</b> – “Why do captive animals – including chimpanzees – perform abnormal repetitive behaviors, and how can we identify pathological forms?”</div>
<div>
Stereotypic “ARB” behaviour is not necessarily pathological; we need to study it in more species and take it alongside other behavioural indicators. <br />
<br />
<b>Satoshi Hirata</b> – “Welfare of ex-biomedical chimpanzees in Japan and the role of research at Kumamoto Sanctuary, Japan”</div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.wrc.kyoto-u.ac.jp/kumasan/indexE.html" target="_blank">Kumamoto sanctuary looks incredible</a>. What more can I say?<br />
<br />
<b>Hannah Buchanan-Smith</b> – “Environmental enrichment: our cognitive challenges”</div>
<div>
There is a sweet spot for cognitive enrichment tasks that’s not too challenging (frustration) and not too easy (boredom).<br />
<br />
<b>Crickette Sanz</b> – “Sex differences in foraging among sympatric chimpanzees and gorillas in northern Congo”</div>
<div>
Goualougo has chimpanzees and gorillas in an overlapping range and they sometimes encounter. It also allows you to look at interspecies differences in tool use in the exact same habitat.<br />
<br />
<b>Stacy Lindshield</b> – “Savanna chimpanzees at Fongoli, Senegal, use tools to reconcile an extreme environment”</div>
<div>
Savanna chimpanzees use tools for baobab cracking and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyKHOw69ECU" target="_blank">bushbaby hunting</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>Janet Mann</b> – “Look no hands! Parallels and differences between dolphin and chimpanzee tool-use”</div>
<div>
Dolphins <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zdzROgOELM" target="_blank">put sponges on their beaks</a> and use them to flush fish out of hiding. But not all dolphins do it; in this study group 4% are members of the sponge club, and mothers pass sponging on to daughters.<br />
<br />
<b>Claudio Tennie</b> – “Chimpanzee tool-use: cultural, but not culture-dependent”</div>
<div>
Non-human great ape tool use might not be learned, could just be serial individual re-invention: Is hominin stone tool use also a latent solution? <br />
<br />
<b>Brian Hare</b> – “Who is nicer, bonobo or chimpanzee?”</div>
<div>
“Chimps eat food" but bonobos share it with strangers; if a bonobo is in a room alone with some food and can see another bonobo, they let them in before eating. <br />
<br />
<b>Sarah Brosnan</b> – “Cooperative decision-making in non-human primates”</div>
<div>
Capuchins, Rhesus, Chimps, and Humans all fall to Stag-Stag solution in a cooperation game, but maybe follow different strategies. And in other games, they act very differently.<br />
<br />
<b>Shinya Yamamoto</b> – “Cooperation in dyad and in group among chimpanzees and bonobos”</div>
<div>
Chimpanzees may be better at group coordination (like crossing roads), and bonobos are better at dyadic cooperation (passing tools to another individual).<br />
<br />
<b>Katie Cronin</b> – “Strategic cooperation by chimpanzees: friend today, foe tomorrow”</div>
<div>
At Chimfunshi, in a playback of unknown individuals, the chimpanzees responded in a coordinated patrolling movement.<br />
<br />
<b>Roman Wittig</b> – “Chimpanzee friends: formation, maintenance and benefits of social bonds in wild chimpanzees.”</div>
<div>
Food sharing may help form social bonds (with more oxytocin no matter which individual), and grooming maintains them (with more oxytocin when with a friend).<br />
<br />
<b>Jorg Massen</b> – “The social lives and cooperative skills of corvids”</div>
<div>
There is evidence of prosociality in cooperative breeding corvids but we need compare with more species to figure out why.<br />
<br />
<b>Lydia Luncz</b> – “Culture in a nutshell: social influence on percussive tool selection in wild chimpanzees”</div>
<div>
Variation in the choice of stone or wood tools is not dictated purely by ecological factors, and so could be cultural.<br />
<br />
<b>Daniel Haun</b> – “Group-level variation in chimpanzee social behaviour”</div>
<div>
Social closeness and tolerance varies in Chimfunshi groups and may be important for transmission of behaviour (e.g. <a href="http://www.chimfunshi.de/en/der-chimfunshi-fashion-trend/" target="_blank">grass in ear</a>) <br />
<br />
<b>Colin Chapman</b> – “Chimpanzee conservation: what we know, what we do not know, and ways forward.”</div>
<div>
Deforestation, Hunting, Disease, and Climate change all affect great apes, but we need more data on how it all works.<br />
<br />
<b>Tatyana Humle</b> – “Contextualising coexistence between people and chimpanzees: challenges and opportunities”</div>
<div>
A very balanced talk on how to approach the issue of palm oil in Guinea, by considering the needs and rights of people at all levels (local to international), and also without any “white saviour” nonsense.<br />

In April, I went from never having lectured
before to giving 3 lectures in 2 days. In that whole month, I gave 5 lectures
over 3 weeks. Sure, I had helped in tutorials,
but I had never stood in front of a class of expectant undergrads. My first
surprise was how few undergraduates attend lectures. A <a href="http://hilt.harvard.edu/files/hilt/files/attendancestudy.pdf" target="_blank">study at Harvard</a> found that each lecture is attended by an average of 60% of
students, and I’ve anecdotally heard similar numbers at St Andrews. Considering
both the financial cost of attending lectures <i>and </i>that students who attend lectures generally get better grades <i>and </i>that the whole idea of university
should be to go to class and learn, I was pretty shocked when I was told by one
of the students that “this was a really good turnout” when about a third of the
students were absent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Because I was nervous before the first
lecture, I asked my cousin who is a teacher and a violinist how he had felt
when he started teaching. He said, “I tried to think of teaching like a
performance, and that helped me to get over my nerves”. Great advice for
musicians and actors, maybe less so for those who get stage-fright. I found
that what helped me was the realisation that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>I had new knowledge for these students</u></b>, knowledge that I now took
for granted, but remembered being excited to learn when I was in undergraduate
myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The two undergraduate lectures that I
delivered were on great ape evolution and social learning mechanisms. I also
gave a series of three lectures for the <a href="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/pgstudents/stleonards/about/" target="_blank">St Leonard’s College</a> Lecture Prize.
This was really fun, because I got to propose the lectures that I wanted to
give, I was accepted for the prize, and then I got to write and deliver
entirely my own lectures. I chose to give them on animal communication,
covering a number of species along themes that built from lecture to lecture:
signals </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">à</span></span><span lang="EN-GB"> meaning </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">à</span></span><span lang="EN-GB"> syntax. The lesson here was that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>preparing a lecture from scratch takes much longer than you’d think</u></b>.
I laboured over small details, wanting to make the lectures (like the prize
stipulated) open to all levels of students across all disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Overall, I really enjoyed giving the
lectures. The undergraduate lectures were the most satisfying – it’s a huge
ego-boost to hear from students that they “loved your lecture; it was really
clear and precise”. More practically, it’s satisfying to pass knowledge on to
other people. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>If you get the chance to
give lectures during your PhD, it may be daunting, but I highly recommend it to
give yourself a taste of teaching</u></b>. I look forward to lecturing as part of
my job as I move higher in academia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lots of lovely fruit and veg, for sure, and the peanut butter was a lifesaver. But I've missed all the spices and seasonings that normally go along with vegetables. Can't wait to have a curry! Maybe some sushi too. I think the hardest part was going without coffee and beer, both for the taste and for social reasons. If you've been impressed with my monkey diet, please donate to <a href="https://www.justgiving.com/Kirsty-Graham8">Wild Futures' monkey sanctuary and conservation initiatives here</a>.<br />

As an extra challenge, I also wanted to see how close to "Zero-Waste" I could be in 10 days. This isn't everything, because I haven't finished the raisins and peanuts yet, but essentially this is all my non-compostable, non-recyclable garbage for the duration of the monkey diet (including not just food, but other purchases as well!):<br />

Most people completed theirs in March, but I didn't have enough days in a row without travelling, so I started mine on Monday, April 11th. Here's what I ate for the first five days:<br />

<br />
The third day of Evolang kicked off with an insightful debate on whether animal communication can have meaning. You can read <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Thomas_Scott-Phillips/publication/272082534_Meaning_in_animal_and_human_communication/links/54dce72c0cf25b09b912db7f.pdf">here</a> from the side that says meaning requires higher mental representation (wanting someone to think that you think that they think) and <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Richard_Moore14/publication/280563430_Meaning_and_Ostension_in_Great_Ape_Gestural_Communication/links/55ba04a608ae092e965c7a7b.pdf">here</a> from the side that says great ape's basic intentional communication (wanting someone to do something) is enough for meaning. Language is "ostensive" - we overtly make another person know that we are communicating with them. Not only the debate, but several talks covered whether great apes get ostension. Without further ado, here are some talks from the last two days of Evolang:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Scott-Phillips, T. Debating primate pragmatics</span><br />
Meaning requires overt and covert intentional communication (showing someone that you’re communicating to them and communicating to someone but hiding your communicative intent, respectively), and there is no evidence that non-human primates do this.<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />Moore, R. Apes, humans, and the phylogenetic emergence of Gricean communication</span><br />
Meaning only requires first order intentionality (intending to change the behaviour of another), which great apes have, and if you use Scott-Philips definition (above) then kids aren’t Gricean communicators either.<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />Edmiston, P. et al. The fidelity of iterated vocal imitation</span><br />
When people invent new words for strange sounds, e.g. breaking glass, the invented words retain their resemblance to the original, e.g. kuhklank, such that other people can recognise what sound the new word refers to.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Spierings, M. and Cate, C.t. Rule learning in birds</span><br />
When birds hear patterns of sounds, finches pay attention to the position of each sound (<u>A</u>BA --> <u>A</u>CC) but budgies understand the relational rule (ABA --> CAC).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Cochet, H. and Byrne, R. Relationship between nonverbal social skills and language development</span><br />
Kids who produce more gestures have better language production, and initiating joint attention is important for both language comprehension and production.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Jarvis, E. Neurobiology of vocal communication in song birds</span><br />
In birds that do vocal learning, the brain areas that control vocalisations and motor learning are more strongly connected, which allows vocal learning. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Meguerditchian, A. et al. Human-like brain specialization in baboons</span><br />
Baboons, like humans, have hemisphere specialisation (a specific ability is done in one side of the brain) linked to handedness in areas that are important for language in humans.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Lyn, H. et al. Nonhuman animals use of ostensive cues in an object choice task</span><br />
Human-reared apes (like Kanzi) and dogs correctly respond to pointing and follow gaze direction. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Engesser, S. et al. Meaningful call combinations and compositional processing in a social bird</span><br />
A species of Babbler (bird) can combine a low-urgency alert call with a recruitment call to form a new “high threat” meaning.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Pika, S. Cooperative communication: What do primates and corvids have to tell?</span><br />
Conversation analysis reveals that chimp and bonobo turn-taking has a similar participation framework (the circle of who is communicating and who is receiving communication), adjacency pairs (relation between one turn and the next), and temporal relationships (time between turns) to humans.<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />Collier, K. et al. Dwarf mongooses combine meaningful alarm calls</span><br />
Mongooses have a non-specific alarm call that is the combination of their aerial and terrestrial alarm calls. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Pepperberg, I.M. et al. Parrot “phonological regression”</span><br />
Parrots that are trained to talk show a similar u-shaped development to human children, in that they acquire a sound, then it becomes worse, and then it improves and crystallises. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Falk, D. Evo-Devo & the evolution of language</span><br />
Maybe language evolved by “baby, the trendsetter” – with bipedalism and hair loss, mothers couldn’t carry their babies as well and sometimes had to put them down, then the babies cried and the mothers made noises to comfort them.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Sonnweber, R. and Ravigni, A. Chimpanzees process structural isomorphisms across sensory modalities</span><br />
Chimps can learn to distinguish patterns on a touch screen and can draw a link between similar visual and auditory patterns.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Cartmill, E. Lasting impacts of the code model on primate communication research</span><br />
By treating ape communication as a code model and looking specifically for signs that are linked predictably to outcomes, we ignore a large portion of ambiguous gestures and gestures that don’t receive responses.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Behme, C. Evolution of what?</span><br />
Recursion (generative grammar) makes language language, but theories like “merge” leave a lot unexplained.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Thompson, B. et al. Interpreting silent gesture</span><br />
People interpret gestures in the order “Subject, Object, Verb” as “extensional” (an external event, e.g. The girl fell asleep on the book), and the order “Subject, Verb, Object” as “intensional” (an internal event, e.g. The girl dreamt about the book).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Lameira, A. et al. Cumulative vocal cultures in orangutans and their ontogenetic origins</span><br />
Variation in wild orangutan calls suggests cultural differences, and in this study one young male used far more vocal call types than all other individuals, which may represent a critical learning period.kirstyegrahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00624555099403553771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50851229833506018.post-23440861923995111342016-03-28T17:26:00.000+01:002016-03-28T17:27:29.183+01:00Evolang 11 – New Orleans (Day 1 & 2)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last week, I attended the <a href="http://www.evolang.org/" target="_blank">Evolang</a>
(Evolution of Language) conference in New Orleans. New Orleans is a great city
and <a href="https://tulane.edu/" target="_blank">Tulane University</a> was a nice conference venue. The conference wasn’t too
big, so there was plenty of opportunity to meet a wide-range of people, many of them with helpful and encouraging feedback. The talks
varied from animal communication to linguistics to philosophy, and here I’ll
give a one sentence summary of each talk I attended in the first day and a
half. I’ll post more summaries of the other talks later this week.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Slocombe, K. et al. Vocal learning in
functionally referential chimpanzee food calls</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

were combined into one group at <a href="http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/animals-and-attractions/main-attractions/budongo-trail/" target="_blank">Edinburgh zoo</a>, one of the groups adopted the
same call for “apples” as the other group even though their food preference
didn’t change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The best points in your PhD are the ones when
you are engaged in a variety of activities – writing papers, reading articles,
attending seminars, juggling thoughts – when every day is a little bit
different. It feels that for too many months, whenever anyone has asked what I’m
working on the answer has been “video coding”. I have been too deeply embroiled
in video coding that I don’t think I’ve explained it particularly well to anyone.
To my friends and family, this is where my mind has been for the last few
months.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Video coding</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> is the way that I extract data from the video
footage that I collected at Wamba, DRC. The way that a researcher codes video
varies, depending on the behaviour that they’re looking at, but it roughly goes
like this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Video
coding is very repetitive. It’s also something that you get better at with
time. For these reasons, it’s important to re-code your earlier videos, to make
sure that the coding quality matches the later videos, now that you’ve become a
coding wizard! <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Re-coding </b>simply
means re-watching the behaviours that you’ve coded (not the whole video clip! The
aim is to check what you’ve already got, not try to find new behaviours),
checking that you still agree with the information you entered, and changing it
if not. Sometimes you add a field/box partway through the coding process (I
added another ‘time’ criteria), so you need to add that to the older
behaviours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It is also
important to have a <b>s</b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">econd coder</b>, another
person to code part of the video footage, to ensure that your coding has high <b>i</b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">nter-observer reliability</b> (do
different people agree on your coding?) Depending on the complexity of your
behaviour, you might have a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">naïve observer
</b>(someone who has no familiarity with the topic) or an expert. Because
gesturing is quite complicated, my second coder will be someone who is already
very familiar with gestural communication video coding (you know who you are!)</span></div>
<br /> It would not be possible to study gestural communication without video coding. There is no way that I would be able to follow the bonobos in the forest and write down all of the information I need to know about a gesture as it happened! Video coding is therefore a necessary evil. Anyone who does it knows how tedious it is, but it has the remarkable power of allowing us to re-live events in order to accurately describe the minutiae of the behaviour. Now that I’m at the end looking back, I can appreciate it. <!--EndFragment--><div style="mso-element: comment-list;">

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NTtTrxmMea8/Ve2Z8P4e7II/AAAAAAAABMA/NdAvb3MVLHU/s1600/CNU4tcsWsAABm9q.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NTtTrxmMea8/Ve2Z8P4e7II/AAAAAAAABMA/NdAvb3MVLHU/s320/CNU4tcsWsAABm9q.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Before presenting at <a href="http://www.asab2015lincoln.co.uk/" target="_blank">ASAB 2015 Summer Conference</a>, my first ever conference talk, I was quite nervous. I'm fairly comfortable with public speaking, but did not know what to expect from an academic conference. In this state of uncertainty, I Googled "how to give a great academic presentation". Google threw up a few listicles. '<a href="http://getalifephd.blogspot.it/2011/04/how-to-give-fabulous-academic.html" target="_blank">Get a Life, PhD</a>' was the most helpful. All these tips are fairly standard. Use <b>24 pt font or higher</b>. Don't fill your slides with <b>too much text</b>. The most useful advice for me was to practice.<br />
<br />
I was supposed to practice with just my supervisor, but when I arrived at his office, another of his PhD students was also there to practice a presentation. <b>Practicing with a few other people</b> was incredibly helpful. They knew more about what to expect from conferences and helped me to rework my presentation. Being used to giving in-school presentations, I had followed a standard framework complete with an outline slide. They told me to <b>cut the introduction/outline slide</b> and <b>highlight my findings more than my methods</b>. People can ask about the methods during the question session if they want painstaking details. <b>Short videos</b> can be very effective at illustrating a point; for me, it helped the audience to see an example of a bonobo gesture.<br />
<br />
The conference itself was perfect for a first time presenter. It was a small enough conference not to have parallel sessions. The <b>small size of the conference</b> and <b>predominantly Postgrad demographic</b> made for a very friendly and supportive audience. People asked thoughtful questions, and generally didn't try to attack a presenter's work.<br />
<br />
Many people <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23asab2015lincoln&src=typd" target="_blank">live Tweeted</a> the conference. Tweeting at conferences has been controversial, because of fear of oversharing unpublished results. However, if you <b>only Tweet a brief overview of each talk</b>, it is a way of connecting presenters with other researchers doing similar research.<br />
<br />
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at ASAB Lincoln 2015. I was careful to <b>take note of what I liked in other presentations</b>, so that I can change some stylistic things in future presentations. Already looking forward to my next conference. Maybe it will be a big one!<br />

primate communication and is incidentally more about vocalisations. More and more research is showing that great ape vocalisations are more flexible than we previously thought. Here are 3 great papers as examples. Shout-outs to Klaus Zuberbuhler,
a professor at St Andrews, and to Stuart Watson, who occasionally shares an
office with me when both of us are actually there.<br />

<br />
How flexible are bonobo calls? Whereas functionally fixed or “functionally referential” calls are elicited consistently by the same stimuli, functionally flexible calls can be used in a range of different contexts. The bonobo “peep” call type is one such call, being used in various activities and across a positive-neutral-negative range. Researchers collected audio recordings of wild bonobos at LuiKotale, DRC, and compared spectrograms of the peeps in different contexts. They selected 8 individuals with 8 positive peeps (food related), 8 neutral peeps (non-food -> rest/travel related), and 4 negative peeps (predator or agonistic), which had fewer because they are rarer. There was no acoustic difference between positive and neutral peeps, but both were different from negative peeps. That peeps in positive and neutral contexts were similar shows that the same vocalisation can be flexibly used across contexts. This could be an intermediate state between functionally fixed animal calls and incredibly flexible human language.<br />

Human language uses socially learned words to refer to external objects, and while other primate vocalisations reference food or predators, the calls are thought to be inflexible and automatically triggered. In this study, researchers recorded “apple” food grunts for 2 groups of captive chimpanzees before and after they were integrated together into one group. Before the groups joined and when they were first joined, the food grunts were significantly different. By 2013, once the groups had fully integrated, the food grunts were no longer different. Moreover, the groups’ food preferences remained stable, so the change in vocalisations was not merely caused by a change in food preference. This study shows that chimpanzees are able to modify their vocalisations, showing flexibility that was not previously thought possible.<br />

<br />
Human language deviates from primate communication in three ways: "compositionality, audience awareness, and vocal control". Some primates use call sequences and combine calls with gestures, showing ability for syntactic comprehension, but don't come close to human language composition. The author suggests that this is less a reflection on their physical ability to combine calls and more on a lack of complex mental concepts. There is very little physiological difference between the vocal tracts of humans and other primates, but (at a neurological level) humans have greater control over vocal folds, larynx, and respiratory muscles. Great apes actually do show a sophisticated sense of how their communication affects others and it simply remains to be seen how deep this intentionality goes.</div>

After 6 months without internet, I came back to find 174 unread emails from my Google Scholar alerts. I sifted through them all, picking out relevant articles. Now I have a large "To Read" folder to tackle. Since I'm going through them all anyway, it seemed like a good idea to summarise and share them. Here are 5 journal articles about "gesturing" published in the last 6 months. Enjoy!<br />

Experimenters trained five rhesus
macaques to produce a begging gesture towards food hidden under a container,
then tested the effect of an experimenter’s attention on the monkeys’
gesturing. They found that the monkeys gestured more frequently when the
experimenter was facing them than when facing in a different direction, but it
didn’t matter if the experimenter’s eyes were open or closed. Therefore, rhesus
macaques are capable of gesturing intentionally, and probably rely on gross
cues of head direction rather than eye direction.</div>

Looking at video footage of
spontaneous play for 20 orangutans, researchers coded to examine if play face
is affected by the attention of the recipient, which could mean that it’s
intentionally (not automatically) produced. They found that orangutans produced
the place face for longer when face-to-face than when not, and that the play
face was also more complex. This could mean that the play face can be
emotionally <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and</i> intentionally
produced, or that at least the orangutans are reacting to more subtle contextual
cues.<br />

<br />
Researchers asked human subjects to describe weird objects (“Greebles”) to
another person, and forced them to repeat themselves when the communication was
unsuccessful. Whether or not the recipient was able to see the subject, they
used gestures, although gestures with a visible recipient were larger. When the
communication was unsuccessful, the subject reduced the number of words spoken,
but used the same number of gestures. This meant that the gesture rate was
higher, as was the precision of the gestures. <br />

The term “meaning” is loosely used in animal communication research. The author proposes that in animal communication, when looking at the proximate goal of individuals, we need to differentiate between Gricean “natural meaning” and “non-natural meaning”. Natural meaning still affects how the recipient responds, but non-natural meaning is more complex. The signaller has to intend to mean something, but also have to overtly show that they intend it. Current gestural communication studies show intentionality, but not “overt” intentionality.<br />

To test the intentionality of baboon gestural communication, test baboons were trained to request for food and compared to an untrained control group. The researchers then tested how frequently the baboons alternated gaze between the food and the researcher. There was no difference between trained and untrained baboons in overall frequency of gaze alternation, but trained baboons used gaze alternation alongside gestures much more frequently. This behaviour may show the intentional use of gestures, but training techniques may just have led to superstitious behaviour.</div>

Wamba was bustling in January, with 6 researchers including myself. I travelled to Wamba with Nahoko, who studies aggressive behaviour. Heungjin, Toda, Aya, and Sakamaki were already there. Heungjin and Toda study female sexual behaviour and immigration, respectively. Aya is an anthropologist, looking at attitudes towards bonobos. Sakamaki is the station manager and seems to study everything! With so many people at camp, dinner was never dull - always bouncing ideas around and gossiping about the bonobos. Because Toda and Heungjin both work with E1 group, in January and February, I worked mainly with P group.<br />

In February, P group frequently encountered with P West and a couple of times with Gori/Olochi group. Group encounters are exciting and frantic. There's so much happening that it can be difficult to follow focal individuals. Thankfully, I can now identify all the P West individuals, so I can keep track in my videos of who's who. It will be fascinating to analyse how individuals communicate between groups. One day, I hope that I can see a group encounter between the two main study groups, E1 and P group. They almost encountered in June, but E1 had split up so they did not continue further into P group's range. Very disappointing. Maybe next time!</div>

In March, we were waiting for Otomi and Nao (adult females in E1 group) to give birth. They were obviously pregnant so we had bets on when their infants would be born. None of us expected that Ichi (in P group) would be the first to give birth. We had no idea she was pregnant! Her son, Isao, was not even 3 years old and wasn't weaned yet. On March 25th, Nahoko and I were both following P group, but separated with different parties. When Isolumbo and I first saw Ichi, we could not believe that she was carrying a new infant. Had she stolen it? we wondered incredulously. We called the infant Isha, and continued to monitor her development closely, happily noting that Ichi was managing to nurse and carry both of her offspring.</div>

April was a month of long walks. E1 group seemed determined that for Heungjin's last month, they would show him their entire range. One day they would have crossed the river 8km away, and the next would be in the fields next to camp. His last observation day was fantastic! E1 group came to the fields and found Bolingo fruit (a large delicious fruit) on their way. Nobita, the strongest male, had a large fruit and a number of juveniles kept begging from him. After feeding, the whole group sat on logs to groom. Incredible for filming!! Ulrich came back from Iyondie forest and we all had a couple of days together before saying "Au revoir". Now it was just Nahoko and me at camp - from six researchers down to two.<br />

In May, I was very happy that I follow both study groups at Wamba. E1 group were impossible! There seems to be a lot of tension in the group, possibly caused by food scarcity in this season. For whatever reason, they kept splitting into smaller and smaller parties. At one point we worked out that they were probably in at least four separate parties, though of course there's no way of knowing for sure. When they range in parties of only three to five adults, it can be difficult to follow them. Combine that with the rainy season, and we lost E1 group quite often. Again, thankfully when E1 were messing around in small parties, I was able to follow P group, who were behaving far more sensibly (well, for my work at least!).</div>

My last month at Wamba was cut short. I have very happy memories from June 11th, which I count as my last real day. E1 group spent ages log grooming. Otomi kept switching partners and eventually settled down to groom Kiku in the most perfect spot for filming. Gorgeous. On June 12th, it had rained during the night, so the bonobos spent most of the morning in their nests before finally coming out to find food. Not a bad day at all.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
June 13th: At 08:00 the bonobos entered the swamp. We lost sight of them around 08:30. At 09:00 we finally caught up with them. Etenyi pointed ahead towards my focal individual. While I was looking at Kitaro, none of us had noticed that Shiba was directly overhead. When he moved, a dead branch fell and hit me directly in my right eye. After I collapsed crying on the ground, I heard the bonobos vocalise too. Afterwards, the trackers told Nahoko that when I had wailed in agony, the bonobos had climbed down from the canopy to look at me. It was probably strange for them to hear screaming from a human, when we're normally so quiet. The trackers were awesome. They helped flush my eye out with clean water and helped get me back to camp. We were very deep in the swamp at that point, so Bafike walked ahead clearing a path while Etenyi led me by the arm. I'm still in awe of them. It took three hours for what would normally be an hour and a half long walk. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Within the next week, arrangements were made for me to come home early. They flew me to Nairobi hospital for treatment. It's an amazing hospital. And my prognosis was good - no need for surgery, just time and rest. Now I'm back in Scotland, continuing to rest. My eye continues to improve. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All in all, it was another successful study period at Wamba. Despite leaving a little earlier than planned, I followed bonobos for 105 days, amounting to 597 hours of observation time, and bringing my total video library up to ~4400 video clips. Once my eye gets a little better, then comes my final year: coding, analysis, writing.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Heungjin took photos 1 & 2 on Wednesday. It was such a nice day! They went to a newly cut and burnt field and found bolingo fruit (a really big fruit that looks like a pineapple and tastes like a mango) on the way. They shared the fruit out in the open, then groomed for ages. I was able to set up my camera and lie back. Such leisure!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Photo 3 is of Daniel carrying Hideo. Hideo’s mother lost one of her legs below the knee in a snare. Now that he’s too heavy for her to carry him, some of the males started taking turns. Now Daniel carries him all the time. Win-win: Hideo gets a lift, Daniel is immune from attacks and gets to travel in the centre of the group. It’s a pretty unusual situation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Photo 4 was when they were crossing Iyondie road. Yuki has a particularly mean mug (doesn’t she look like Greyskull?!) Yoda’s on her back, so maybe she’s in Jedi training now? He’s probably muttering backwards encouragements to her at this point.</span><br />
