Visit by Daniel Blumstein in Göttingen
On September 20, 2019, Prof Daniel Blumstein from UCLA visited the SoHaPi group at the German Primate Center in Göttingen. He presented his long-term research on wild yellow-bellied marmots, a facultative social species, and talked about how to build from it to understand the evolution of sociality in other systems. Afterwards, the SoHaPi students got the chance to talk to him about career paths and to discuss some of their own results.
