What if we could compare animal social structures across time and space?
Now we can! The MacaqueNet database spans 14 macaque species and 61 populations over 40+ years, unlocking new possibilities in comparative social behaviour research.

Join the MacaqueNet family!
We’re looking for a postdoc to study the link between social structure and lifespan across species, using MacaqueNet data and a new life-history database.
Feel free to reach out—I'm happy to chat about MacaqueNet, CRAB, or living in Exeter.
