🚨🥳 New paper alert! Evidence of sensory integration of predator cues by California ground #squirrels. Field experiments by me, @CECarmin & others on.#TeamSquirrel document fear of a "quiet coyote" is modulated by levels of human disturbance

Sensory integration theory predicts natural selection should favour adaptive responses of animals to multiple forms of information, yet empirical tests of this prediction are rare, particularly in...
Squirrels strongly avoid coyote urine (a danger cue) in the absence of coyote calls, indicating coyote silent hunting behaviour and highlighting the consideration of multiple cues by prey: #ProcB @JennSmithSocBeh @CECarmin

Another incredible study on the social lives of Amboseli baboons! Takeaways: 1. Sex differences in grooming emerge at a young age. 2. Strong, equitable mother-daughter relationships begin very early in life. & 3. Age at first grooming is heritable and shaped by selection.🥳🧬🫂🐒.
