Research Adventures in Japan Chapter 9: A Summer Well Spent
Konichiwa and sorry for the MAJOR delay in my final update. For some reason it took me a bit longer to adjust to being back than it did for me being gone! Research Update We collected data from pileated and white-handed gibbons. They quickly became one of my favorites (I don't think they overtook ring-tailed lemurs but it's a solid tie!)! These gentle apes were full of curiosity and personality. We had storms come through during data collection two of the days and not a single of the seven gibbons I worked with would stay out in the rain with me for some peanuts. Every single one of them retreated to the trees while I got soaked! They were a great species for me to end my research on but we're hoping the study will continue with the help of current JMC staff and future students! It was so great working Drs. Hayahsi, Tomonaga, Shintaku, plus all of the great staff at the JMC, so thank you so much to all of them!!! This was one of the first buildings I saw when I got into ...
