Paper by @nathanjharrison, Ross Hill, #AIASFellow @cici_alexander et al on #siamang sleeping trees and sleep-related behaviours. Findings indicate selectivity in the highly arboreal small apes' use of sleeping trees. Want to know more, it's #openaccess via bit.ly/2DgfPAt

To coincide with our new publication I thought I’d tweet some fun facts about siamangs (not about sleeping trees though, you have to read the paper for that) #teamsiamang
Our new paper (& my first as first-author) on siamang sleeping trees and sleep-related behaviours is now available online! It’s #openaccess so be sure to check it out for all things #siamang, #sleepingtrees & #sumatra 🐒🌳

Hi friends, I’m working on a new mini-project looking at mitigating crop raiding by wild monkeys (macaques) 🐵 and pigs 🐗 at the forest edge 🌴, please point me to your go-to papers or resources to get me kick started. Please RT #internationalmacaqueweek @AHKorstjens
Since it’s #InternationalMacaqueWeek, here’s a cheeky long tailed macaque sneaking into the Sikundur research station to help himself to some jackfruit!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but...
...bats are gentle, lovers of food and drink, diverse, appreciate a well-cultivated garden, don't like adventure very much, are good at staying out of sight, & want to be left in peace.
They're basically litte sky Hobbits.

This publication presents an insight into The Sleeping Tree, a new immersive sound and light experience tracing a journey through the siamang habitat of North Sumatra.

I wrote a quick blog about part of my PhD research monitoring mammals at the forest edge with @BU_Research, @AHKorstjens, @invisibleflock, Dr Abdullah at @lppm_unsyiah and @socp_tweets - go-leap.wixsite.com/home/sin…
Still one of my favourites from the images we captured!!
Happy #earthDay to all of the creatures and megafauna we share this rock with - this small herd was recorded on camera traps last summer through our ongoing work in Sumatra with @AHKorstjens @hells_bells91 @bournemouthuni #art #ecology #conservation

I think the novelty of having the humans home all day is rapidly wearing off for dogs everywhere.... #lockdown #alfstagram #daftdog

Day 5 of #lockdown.. Just caught Dad watching Say Yes to the Dress.. He claims it was 'just on', but he's remarkably invested in it. Currently ranting about the future sister-in-law being rude about the bride's favourite pick for the dress...

A charming young wombat approaches you...
You start to feel slightly better about things.
We used a combination of bioacoustics and camera traps to monitor the mammal community in the #leuser forest in Sumatra, luckily the inhabitants were willing to help us out by checking our equipment! #Tech4Wildlife @WILDLABSNET @AHKorstjens @wsxportal
Shout out also to @invisibleflock who worked with us on this project, and are using the data to create an immersive, interactive experience about life in the forest and deforestation at @eurekamuseum to inspire the next generation of conservationists!!
