ManyPrimates 1: Short-Term Memory
The evolution of short-term memory
This project has now been published in Animal Behavior and Cognition! Find the paper here.
The first ManyPrimates project is a continuation of our pilot study. We collected data from 400+ primates from 40+ species and almost 30 sites in order to make meaningful inferences about the evolution of short-term memory abilities in the primate lineage.
