I'm proud to announce a new textbook for #musicscience out, titled Music and Science: A Guide to Empirical Music Research. It covers methods in music psychology to open research & computational analysis, see doi.org/10.4324/978100… R & Python code at tuomaseerola.github.io/emr/

Reproductive success is positively correlated with increasing age. Males attain peak reproduction between 40 and 55 years of age are still reproductively active at age 60, at that age siring as many calves as a 40-year-old male. Males need size, strength and experience to mate

New paper on chimp drumming 🥁 led by the awesome Wytse Wilhelm and supervised by the one and only Cat Hobaiter is out! We show that eastern chimps like to choose the roots they drum on🥁 🎶🐒! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

Applications are closing on 8th January for two doctoral research opportunities in wildlife conservation. Both projects are part of the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme which supports conservation of this rare and threatened canid. Find out more 👉 bit.ly/4h198zq

Hi everyone! I just started to migrate to bluesky. You can find me under @vestaeleuteri.bsky.social

Despite assumptions of bonobos as sexy hippies and chimps as aggressive, we find that both ape species overlap in their use of sex to navigate social problems and repair social bonds Coverage from New Scientist about our new study out in The Royal Society newscientist.com/article/247079…

Biodiversity is under intense pressure from human activity worldwide. Sir David Attenborough explains why biodiversity is so important to humans, how biodiversity loss is impacting our world and how there is still time to change direction – if we act now:

Our new paper is out!🐒🔊 Studying two wild chimpanzee populations, we found they flexibly adjust pant hoot acoustics to context (feed vs. travel). Most patterns are shared, but some community differences may suggest a small role for vocal usage learning. doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…

🐵 🐒 🙉 Wild chimpanzees drum with rhythms strikingly similar to human music, offering fascinating new insights into our musical deep past classical-music.com/news/chimpanze…

Researchers have known for decades that chimpanzees drum, but two new studies show that the animals drum to a distinct beat—which varies across their societies. Learn more: scim.ag/3YCcYbA

Chimpanzee subspecies drum with distinct rhythms; a finding that could shed light on the building blocks of human musicality. 🥁 See an example of drumming below and learn more in @currentbiology: cell.com/current-biolog… Vesta Eleuteri 🐘 Andrea Ravignani, Catherine Hobaiter

Just like humans, chimps have rhythm when drumming, which suggests that the trait evolved in our common ancestor newscientist.com/article/247946…

Did you know that chimps got rhythm??🥁 🎶 Our new study is out in Current Biology showing that chimps drum rhythmically with key elements of human musical rhythm, and that different chimp subspecies have different rhythms! Cat Hobaiter @AndreaRavignani

This one has been a long, hard one, and would not have been possible without massive team work! A particular thanks to Cat Hobaiter for starting me on this drumming path and to @AndreaRavignani & Jelle van der Werff for having introduced me to the world of rhythm and music!
