Does Size Matter?

Assessing the ability of white-handed gibbons to visually discriminate between different sizes of food items

Hejsan! My name is Emma Ackelman and I have been looking at gibbons’ ability to visually discriminate between different sizes of food items.

Why gibbons? I have long been interested in behaviour from a biological point of view and therefore wanted to more closely investigate our close relatives in order to acertain how similar they are to us.
