🐒🎮 A #study involving rhesus #macaques shows that the #animals will engage with touch screen #puzzles even when no food rewards are provided.
Scientists at the University of #Tokyo observed the #primates solving challenges for long periods, suggesting that curiosity and intrinsic motivation are powerful drivers for their behavior. The #research challenges the idea that animal #learning is only motivated by external physical gains.

How do #climate extremes alter animal societies?
A 33-year study of wild capuchin #monkeys in #CostaRica shows how the costs and benefits of living in a group are reshaped by climate fluctuations

Climate extremes reshape the benefits of group living: A 33-year study of wild capuchin monkeys shows that droughts and heavy rains can disrupt the balance between cooperation and competition within animal societies. Bigger groups aren’t always better: While large groups usually offset competition by dominating space and resources, extreme climate events erode these advantages and increase the costs of living together. Changing climates may alter animal societies: As extreme events become more frequent, social groups may fragment or reorganize, potentially reshaping population structure and ecosystem dynamics.
