www.nature.com Active sampling as an information seeking strategy in primate vocal interactions Communications Biology - Modeling and data show that marmoset monkeys use active sensing to acquire social information from conspecifics; this challenges traditional views of primate communication. @behaviOrganisms & I worked on this piece, off and on, for 5 years!
