Apes Set Free - Book Review Opportunity

by Sharon Kessler

Dear Bergers, I am looking for someone to review the book Apes Set Free for the International Journal of Primatology. If you are interested I can provide you with a copy of the e-book. This book looks like it might be of interest to anyone who is interested in the history of primatology, integrating perspectives from animal behaviour and decolonisation. I am happy to recieve reviews from students too. Link to the publishers website for this book here - https://www.routledge.com/The-Chimpanzees-of-Rubondo-Island-Apes-Set-Free/M…<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.routl…> Blurb about the book below How did a random batch of chimpanzees come to populate a small island in Tanzania where apes had never lived before? Combining information gathered from fieldwork, laboratory and archival research, this book tells the unique story of chimpanzee babies taken from their forest homes in West-Central Africa and sold to European zoos and circuses, to then be shipped to Lake Victoria and set free on Rubondo Island. These founder animals learnt what to eat, how to build nests, to breed and raise young – ultimately forming a chimpanzee-typical fission–fusion society that today is thriving. The authors compare the ecology, behaviour and genetics of the Rubondo population with communities of wild chimpanzees, providing exciting insights into how our closest relatives adjust to changing environments. At the same time, a reconstruction of the historical context of the Rubondo experiment reflects on its chequered colonial heritage, and the introduction is viewed against current threats to the survival of apes in their natural habitats. If you are interested, please email me (Sharon.Kessler(a)stir.ac.uk).

BERG seminar this week

by Gema Martin-Ordas

Dear all, On Wednesday this week at 4pm, Prof. Bennett Schwartz (Florida International University, USA) will be talking about metacognition. Please, see below the title and short abstract for his talk. As I mentioned before, this meeting will be online (below is the teams link). However, I have booked the Psychology common room for all our meetings, so I will be there with my computer setting up the talk. You’re welcome to join me there. Title: Comparative approaches and the natural ecology of metacognition Abstract: Most cognitive scientists assume that our core cognitive abilities evolved through natural selection. However, we lack the ability to assess causality concerning the natural selection processes that shaped human cognition. As such, I advocate a comparative approach to understand the potential natural selection of cognition. In this talk, I consider metacognition, the experience and knowledge of one’s own cognitive system. I compare the methods used in humans and non-human primates with respect to both the cognitive mechanisms underlying metacognition and the accuracy of metacognition at predicting performance on an object-level task. I advocate for an approach to metacognition that makes hypotheses based on natural ecology and then applies those hypotheses to a wide range of species. Best, Gema Schedule for future meetings: Date Time Speaker Topic Location 21/09/2022 4pm Jeff Martin (McGill University, Canada) Canadian crows and planning Online 28/09/2022 4pm Jade Hooper (University of Stirling) TBC F2F (Common Room, Psych) 05/10/2022 4pm Michael Beran (Georgia State University, USA) Metacognition in primates Online 12/10/2022 4pm Claire Hemingway (Texas University, USA) Bees and bats cognition Online 19/10/2022 4pm Kristine Gandia (University of Stirling) TBC F2F (Common Room, Psych) 02/11/2022 3-5pm Joint meeting—BERG & BES TBC F2F (Common Room, Psych) 09/11/2022 4pm Francesca de Petrillo (Newcastle University, UK) Decision-making in primates Online 16/11/2022 4pm Stephen Ferrigno (University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA) Origins of human thought Online 23/11/2022 4pm Sarah Weir (University of Stirling) TBC Online 30/11/2022 4pm Sabrina Brando (University of Stirling) Individual, leadership, and organisational aspects of human wellbeing in zoos and aquariums F2F (Common Room, Psych) 07/12/2022 4pm Gloria Sabbatini (Istc-CNR Unit of Cognitive Primatology & Primate Center, Italy) Tool use in primates Online 14/12/2022 3pm Elias Garcia Pelegrin (University of Cambridge, UK) Crows and understanding of magic tricks Online Link to the online meetings: https://teams.microsoft.com/dl/launcher/launcher.html?url=%2F_%23%2Fl%2Fmee…<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fteams.mic…> ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

A cousin of North America’s grizzly, it is a unique subspecies that became geographically isolated from other brown bears in Europe. With a population of about 60 remaining, the Marsican brown bear is at extremely high risk of extinction. That’s why we’re supporting Salviamo l’Orso. A local NGO, they’ve been working in ‘corridor’ areas to expand the bear population beyond the Abruzzo National Park to neighbouring protected areas.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside University of Stirling. Do not follow links or open attachments if you doubt the authenticity of the sender or the content. ________________________________ Hello Pawel, I was wondering if you could forward the following information to BERG members, it could be possible interest to someone. Editor in Chief positions (x2) Dear Colleagues, I hope you are doing well! As the newly elected President of the Linnean Society of London, I am writing to alert you to two ongoing searches for the Editor in Chief role for two of the Linnean Society journals – specifically the Botanical Journal and the Zoological Journal, and to ask for your assistance in spreading the word among your communities and networks. The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes original papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative studies of both living and fossil animals, while the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society publishes original papers on systematic and evolutionary botany and comparative studies of both living and fossil plants. Both of these Editor-in-Chief positions will receive an honorarium of £15,000 per year (plus up to £1,000 in travel expenses for the purpose of attending conferences to publicise the journal) and will be appointed for a fixed three-year period, with a start date of 1 April 2023. It will also be expected that the successful applicant will make themselves available to shadow the existing Editors-in-Chief from October/November 2022 to the end of March 2023 to enable a smooth transition. The Editors-in-Chief will be supported by a Journal Editorial Manager who will manage all the journal’s online systems, processes and relationships to ensure that the journal is published in a timely manner and adheres to the highest editorial standards. They are further supported by a Journal Officer who is responsible for supporting the Journal Editorial Manager in the delivery and production of the required administrative support to the Editors-in-Chief of the Linnean Society Journals. The decision to create this in-house administrative team to support the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board was made by the Linnean Society’s Council earlier this year, in order to reduce the administrative workload on the Editor-in-Chief and allow them to spend more time on setting out a future direction for the journal and (with the assistance of the Linnean Society and our publishers OUP) raising the profile of the journal amongst authors and sourcing interesting papers. For the Editors-in-Chief roles, we are especially interested in finding a creative individual who will work with us to facilitate the future development of the journals, and who possesses the appropriate networks and communication skills to ensure that the journal thrives at the international level. UK residency is not required for these roles, and we welcome applications from early career scientists with relevant editorial experience. Mindful of EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) principles, the new Editors-in-Chief will continue to ensure a diversity of authors and editorial board members and will be committed to widening access to research to a broader community of all those interested in protecting nature. Further details of both Editor-in-Chief roles are available here: https://www.linnean.org/the-society/vacancies-and-volunteering<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linne…>. Please note the deadline for the Editor-in-Chief of the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society role is next Thursday, September 8 (12pm BST). The deadline for the Editor-in-Chief of the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society role is Friday, September 16 (12pm BST). Thank you for your help in disseminating these exciting opportunities, and I look forward to seeing many of you at conferences this autumn and winter!

Movie Animals Protected (MAP) position

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

In case of interest to someone.... Movie Animals Protected (MAP) is looking for part-time on-call representatives to oversee the humane treatment and safety of animals in film & television. We are looking for part-time on-call representatives in the London area (England), Budapest, France, Prague, Istanbul, and other European locations. Additional information from Ken Gold, a colleague who asked me to advertise: These are most certainly paid positions, but part-time. We will be advertising until the positions are filled. Ideally we are looking for local people near where the filming occurs, but some travel expenses will be covered dependent upon the specific jobs. Details of how to apply in attached document. Hannah's view: Aside from educational documentaries, I personally do not approve of (most of) the use of animals in film and television, given the potential for widespread negative consequences, and potential for animal alternatives (CGI etc). But given that it happens, overseeing animal treatment and diplomatically questioning their inclusion and the impact to the viewing public is a critical role. e.g. see https://www.internationalprimatologicalsociety.org/policy-statements-and-gu… Hannah M.

BERG meetings in the fall

by Gema Martin-Ordas

Dear all, I hope you’re well. I am just emailing to let you know that we will start our series of BERG meetings on the 14th of September, at 4pm. Please, find attached the schedule for the fall and link for the online meetings. I have indicated which talks will be online and which ones F2F, however I have managed to book the Common room for Wednesdays 4pm-5pm starting on the 14th of September until mid-December. This opens up the possibility of meeting in that room (for those who are in Stirling and prefer to listen to the talks in the company of others rather than from the office or home) even if the talks are online. I will be sending reminders about the talks, so I can remind you about this possibility as well 😊 See you soon, Gema ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159
