Via de resultaten van een onderzoeksproject uit de opleiding agro- en biotechnologie in Odisee hogeschool kon ZOO Planckendael uitpakken met een geslaagd experiment rond ingekuilde bladeren als wintervoeding voor de bladeters onder de dieren.

Humans are increasingly passing pathogens to animal populations, imperilling endangered species such as chimpanzees and gorillas go.nature.com/3O4GZeH

Ook mensapen bewaren oude herinneringen aan elkaar.
Jeroen Stevens, onderzoeker aan de Odisee hogeschool, werkte mee aan het onderzoek toen hij werkte bij het Antwerp Zoo Centre for Research and Conservation.

It was a labor of love & took years of combined effort w/ my wonderful colleagues Christopher Krupenye, Erin Wessling, Jeroen_MG_Stevens, fumihiro kano, & Josep Call. Huge thank you to the zoo keepers who were vital to this study & have cared for these animals for years. science.org/content/articl…

Happy to have been part of this study with Laura Simone Lewis, PhD and Christopher Krupenye as lead authors on 'Bonobos and chimpanzees remember familiar conspecifics for decades' | published in PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

In their #JEB100 Commentary Andy Turko Britney L. Firth Dr. Brittney Borowiec & co outline why physiological differences between wild & captive animals may occur & discuss strategies to reconcile lab & field results to obtain ecologically relevant data

Paper alert: 'Average phenotype but not plasticity in two metabolic hormones covary in wild female bonobos (Pan paniscus)' appeared in #FrontEcolEvol . I love this result from a fruitful collaboration with lead author Ruth Sonnweber, and various co-authors.

Very proud to have been involved in this study by Edwin J. C. van Leeuwen and a list of co-authors, published in #iScience 'Group-specific expressions of co-feeding tolerance in bonobos and chimpanzees preclude dichotomous species generalizations' cell.com/iscience/fullt…

The value of animal agency is an increasing focus in animal welfare science. This new paper is a great overview of the different types and benefits of agency. I’d love to see opportunities for agency added to the welfare standards of any captive species

On December 1st, 2023 we organise a symposium about measuring welfare and measuring emotions in great apes, to celebrate the public defense PhD Student daan laméris . The room in Antwerp Zoo is fully booked, but you can still register for online attendance

I am happy to have presented with Sarah Depauw our workshop 'How to create a positive affective state for great apes' at the Great Ape Welfare Meeting organised by BIAZA and ABWAK in Chessington World of Adventures Resort Chessington World of Adventures Resort last week.
