BREAKING: Trump heading from Marine One as he travels to his Bedminster golf course on the Taxpayers’ dime.
This trip will cost us $2.9 million, which could have been used by USAID to provide 11 million HIV antiretroviral therapy doses to people in need.

ALT New, multidimensional primate niches provide insights into the role of competition in primate lives and evolution
ALT A team of researchers at the University of Cambridge and University of Zurich calculated niches of 191 primate species in a seven-dimensional space.
ALT They used this to show how primate niches evolved and calculate which groups of primates experience the highest levels of between-species competition.

Excited for this paper with @UCLanthropology MSc student @helenreiderman as 1st author to be published in #AnimBehavCogn. Have a read to see how wild baboons treat objects with and without fur differently.
