Yesterday was Emily's first day working with her protocol on Cayo. Here's what she had to say about it: "It is so amazing to see the different social dynamics and maternal behaviours in the wild. At the moment I am still getting to grips with identifying the different monkeys but I am sure I will get the hang of it! Excited to see what tomorrow brings and so grateful for this incredible opportunity!"

Do primates understand death? Can they grieve? When a primate baby dies, often the mother will carry its corpse, in some cases for weeks. Some suggest this is evidence of grief. But we can look for other markers of grief, like those that humans show: depression, loss of appetite and lethargy. In this study, we will conduct a field study of macaques to quantify mothers' behavioural responses to the deaths of their infants and search for evidence of grief.
