Leaving 🇸🇬 for 🇺🇸 after a terrific 2 mo. in the tropics. Got my visa renewed and did some work in 🇻🇳.
Professionally I had the grim honor of prepping this Raffles’s banded langur roadkill. There are so few of them left so we must learn from this and stop it from happening again.

"By means of our research and filming from January to March 2022 finally, the snow monkey’s actual moment of fishing was captured on camera [...] [T]here is definitely an established “fishing culture” within at least three troops."

iDNA from roadside flies detects rare mammals, birds, and reptiles. New and simple protocol: dissolve fly poop in water, metabarcode with MinION or Illumina. >400 flies belonging to 25 species ==> 294 identifications ==> 20 vertebrate species. @nanopore biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thanks and congratulations to @PrimateWatching and Sabrina on their book—a fruit of passion more than a decade in the making.
The book compiles their findings from the research and conservation of this critically endangered primate told in an engaging, breezy style.
