A day at a waterhole: On a blazing day in the grasslands, a pipeline leakage becomes a lifeline for all: The wild, feral, and the humans. A kind reminder that we are part of the same ecosystem, which we should conserve - for all of us. #grassland #wildlife #cameratrap #tgt #mfd

Awesome finale that @JTKerby's image made the @AnimalEcology cover in support of our method using drones to study animals in their natural social and physical landscapes! @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin great team!
🔥JAE July Issue! On the cover: Many animals behave in the context of dynamic social and physical landscapes. This is certainly the case in a band of gelada monkeys at the Guassa Community Conservation Area in Ethiopia. 📸by Jeff Kerby Full issue 👉 https://t.co/h6MmtGB42G

More amazing content from this study! The video highlights different scales at which authors quantified individuals in a zebra herd, from large scale movements to fine scale individual animal posture, in a social context.@ben_kogerv @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin
Consumer drones and machine learning enables research of group living animals, from zebras to gelada monkeys, in their natural social and environmental context at sub-meter and sub-second resolution. @ben_koger @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin

I am very happy to have this method out in @AnimalEcology! Congrats to @Ben_Koger and all our co-authors! We developed this approach to facilitate studies of #collectivebehavior in wild populations, for systems & questions that are hard to address using existing methods.
Out now in @AnimalEcology! A general approach for using drones to study animal behavior in the wild. Record the location and posture of many animals simultaneously at sub-second sub-meter resolution, plus reconstruct their 3D landscape: https://t.co/2u4jtEzha2

The Grey wolf is the most widespread carnivore in the world. “Adaptive” is a word that gets more associated with leopards but we tend to overlook how adaptive the wolves are. #wolves #Savannah #grasslands #wildlife #incredibleindia #twitternaturecommunity #wildindia

Hey folks! We are excited to launch Part 2 of our online questionnaire to study the vocalisations of wild chimpanzees. We are looking for participants willing to help us with our research and listen to chimpanzee calls. Everyone is welcome! Please RT! https://t.co/oCNeA4qGib

Just finished your PhD and are looking for a postdoc on behavioural/evolutionary ecology? Are you eager to study colourful poison frogs both in the lab and in the field (French Guiana)? If that's the case, get in touch! https://t.co/YmEUkLuqlZ

Something we sort of knew about Indian University Education: "Compared with the United States, students in China, India and Russia do not gain critical thinking skills over four years."
