Female tree shaking display

This is interesting - the first time I've seen a female doing a tree shaking display. Since she has quite a large swelling am I right in assuming this is advertising that she'd like to mate?

Very cool! (Personal comments with videos as I do not know anything about that. But cool.)

I tried yesterday to find a display video of a female and could not find one, but now the science team published one together with the first PanAf paper here: http://www.nature.com/article-assets/npg/srep/2016/160229/srep22219/extref/srep22219-s2.avi
I guess, @MimiA will post about the cool paper.

Could you repost the link to this please? I couldn't get it to work for some reason.

The paper is open access. http://www.nature.com/articles/srep22219 -> on the side bar is a button to additional information. If you scroll down, you find the videos. (Access works for me from home. Loading takes quite a bit.)

Hi MimiA, yes that is me 😃 Jill Pruetz has been helpful to reply to questions I have occasionally tweeted to her. Also enjoy following her informative and/or funny tweets and looking at what they are doing at Fongoli. She has some pretty handsome dogs too!
