As of december 2022, I'm posting on Mastodon: renordquist@akademienl.social. I check messages here occasionally but post content there.

Wetenschapper @RENordquist werd via Twitter uitgenodigd voor een kennisavond van vrouwelijke varkenshouders. Dat leidde tot een inspirerende avond in Hardenberg: “De avond was voor de varkenshouders én voor mij als onderzoeker een verrijking.”

📢📢📢 Save the date!! We are hugely pleased to announce that the #OneWelfare World Conference 2023 will be: - hosted in Burgos, Spain 10-11th October - hybrid, - bilingual (spanish/English) "Don't Choose Extinction, Choose One welfare" #ChooseOneWelfare #OWW23

🔊 ANNOUNCING the 29th @ISDR_Society Conference! 10-14 July 2023, online and on-campus. Hosted by the @UniversityKebangsaan, @UKM Malaysia 🇲🇾 Find more info at: https://t.co/7QAqYRNXBX #sustainabledevelopment #SDG #CircularEconomy #garlic #SDGs #PhD #university #Malaysia

1/6 We (with @Goatslovepasta & @AnjaEggert42) here present an approach to study perception & cognition in ungulates that takes into account their heightened vigilance as prey animals & easily allows repeated testing of subjects without acquiring learning biases. #AnimBehav2023

(1/6)Is pigs’ response to novelty consistent across time? Numerous studies on pig personality had investigated this in farm pigs but none in family pigs. Yes, today's first take-home message: pigs are becoming popular as companion animals. #AnimBehav2023 @ferdinandyb

Social behaviours can allow individuals to flexibly respond to environmental change, potentially buffering adverse conditions like rough weather or low food availability #AnimBehav2023 @Asab_Tweets @AnimalBehSociety

PUFFINS!!!!

(1/6) Hello #AnimBehav2023👋I am here to deliver to you some first insights into the vocal repertoire of Etruscan shrews. Etruscan shrews are the smallest extant mammal by mass and a very interesting model in hearing research due to their small body and brain size.🐭

Since we have established that monogamous titi monkey duet contributions contain information about identity, heritability, age, and pair duration, we now investigate behavior and physio responses to playbacks of titi monkey long calls https://t.co/aKnDkIxpxL #AnimBehav2023 1/6

1. Vocalizations allow individuals that interact, to identify each other. Recognition of individuals, for pika, is vital to keep out invaders who pose a risk to food resources. Pika produce a small number of distinct vocalizations, including the short call. #AnimBehav2023

When are there too many in the neighbourhood? The effects of neighbours on vocal behaviour in birds Nearby animals modify the social context of communication. When density is high, animals may change their behaviour. We explore the effect of density on bird song #AnimBehav2023

Can giraffes make statistical inferences? The capacity to make inferences based on statistical information is widely thought to require large brains and is thus considered to be limited to few species such as great apes and parrots. #AnimBehav2023 (1/6)

1/15 Hi everyone! I am Kavita, a behavioural ecologist at @iiscbangalore @CES_IISc. I am excited to be presenting a plenary in #AnimBehav2023 on female-female competition. My lab and I study how traits are shaped in the wild, where conditions are messy and complex.

Temporarily back just for this.... I'll be re-posting some of these to the other site (see my name ;)

The LNVH Women Professors Monitor 2022 shows that the share of women is decreasing significantly at every step of the academic career ladder. At the end of 2021, the average percentage of women professors at universities in the Netherlands is 26.7%. #MVH2022

Toekomstverkenningen moeten anders, zodat groepen en scenario’s niet worden uitgesloten. Dat stelt #SCP-collega Karlijn Muiderman. Zij verdedigde vrijdag haar proefschrift daarover aan de @UniUtrecht. Van harte, Karlijn!

Y’all wanna see a dead body?
