In the post-disaster world, *heat* is now a critical threat. Macaques who were more tolerant of others are better able to access shade, lower their body temperature and, ultimately, 42% more likely to survive.

*Very* excited to see the last study of my PhD making the cover of @ScienceMagazine on the macaques of @CayoSantiagoPR. We show that ecological disturbances can alter selective pressures on social ties leading to persistent societal changes. shorturl.at/i2WIB 🧵👇
