From mothers to babies, researching comunication in Dolphins and Bonobos. Brain-to-brain with Jolinde Vlaeyen. Special #2

Jolinde is a PhD candidate in the Comparative Biocognition group at the IKW Osnabrück. She is comparing bonobo and dolphin behavior, with a special focus on turn-taking in mother-child interactions – this may sound familiar, do you remember our episode with Bas van Boekholt on chimpanzee communication? If not, make sure to listen to it! And even though the researchers try not to disturb the animals, interactions are happening, both in the forest and in the sea. Listen to this episode if you want to learn more about how in-field research with dolphins and great apes looks like and which funny situations researchers sometimes find themselves in.
