Congrats to Anthony and team on the publication of the final chapter from his PhD, describing the costs and benefits of the relationship between sociable weavers and pygmy falcons. Follow the thread to learn about his fascinating findings.

Jimny Gathering time with @Suzuki_ZA! Ours have made the journey all the way from the Kalahari to Clarens. Amazing to see hundreds of Jimny’s in and around the town.
Good to see our @KalahariProject vehicle looking new again after a recent mishap with a herd of African buffalo. The challenges of field research!
Congratulations to @WendZ_222 on the publication of more of her PhD work, investigating how pangolins respond to changing food availability. Many long hours of data gathering in the Kalahari, supported by @Suzuki_ZA and @Tswalu. academic.oup.com/conphys/articl…
PhD student @makabudi attended the International Mammalogical Congress in Alaska this week, with support through a student travel award from @IMammalogy. She presented her work on dietary overlap between the aardvark and ground pangolin. @Suzuki_ZA @Tswalu

Find out why Wits master’s student Daniel Rossouw is so excited about his pangolin research on Tswalu, a new project that falls under the Kalahari Endangered Ecosystem Project: l8r.it/zWRc #Conservation #Pangolin #TswaluFoundation #kalahariproject
Continuing our long-term transects in the Kalahari to investigate how vegetation and invertebrates change over time. Crucial information for understanding impacts on food webs. With support from @Suzuki_ZA and @Tswalu
Kim Scholtz, a PhD student at the University of the Western Cape, recently visited Tswalu to investigate whether Cape cobras were still active around sociable weaver nests. With no breeding birds at this time of year, there were no cobras to be found.
Great to see Femi’s work on the breeding biology of pygmy falcons published!

We’re delighted to have Daniel Rossouw joining the team. Daniel will conduct MSc research to further explore the ecological role of pangolins and their importance in a dryland ecosystem. He is off to a good start, with the brilliant @Suzuki_ZA Jimny to help him out!

Sociable Weaver nests are an important resource for the #Kalahari animal community, modifying the environment by creating shelter, protection and habitat. Read more: l8r.it/JwVZ #tswalufoundation #sociableweaver #birdsofsouthafrica #ornithology
Tswalu is widely regarded as one of the best places in Africa to catch a glimpse of this most elusive and curious-looking creature, the #aardvark.

Data chapter 6: my last bit of PhD data is published! In @BehavEcol, @mandy_ridley, @kiwi_sjc and I show that helpers don't help when it's hot, particularly when there are many helpers, explaining limited buffering effects of cooperation in some species. academic.oup.com/beheco/advance…

Yesterday was world pangolin day. These are the worlds most trafficked animals and this threatens their very existence. This young female sleeps on a mountain above the kalahari plains @Tswalu #pangolin #WorldPangolinDay
I did this thing..
Looking good in red - Dr Panaino aka @WendZ_222 collected her PhD certificate today (sadly, no graduation ceremonies taking place) and posed for a quick photo. Congrats!
A man that was my cheerleader the whole way 🙌💪🥳
I can confirm that @WendZ_222 worked long and often silly hours during the night, following these elusive animals (the pangolins, not the ants). This paper is the result of her hard work and I’m sure that there will be more to come.
Just love this ❤️ #becausejimny

@KalahariProject It's our pleasure. Happy we could help 🙂
I am very pleased to have been awarded research funding from @VILLUMFONDEN's Villum Experiment programme, which supports unorthodox ideas that challenge the norm (veluxfoundations.dk/en/villum-expe…). I'll be working on metabolic scaling in animals at @DTUtweet 🥳 Thank you @VILLUMFONDEN!
Pleased that Tilly Molete has successfully completed her Masters degree on the dietary flexibility of bat-eared foxes in the Kalahari, despite very challenging circumstances over the last two years. Thanks to @AlizalR for co-supervising and @OppGenRC, @Suzuki_ZA and @TswaluFdn.
