I enjoyed reading this new paper on behavioural bioacoustics https://t.co/tOORjrFh2y Definitely opens up lots of possibilities for macrobehaviour 😃 Nice one @WillOestreich et al

Interpreting sound gives powerful insight into the health of ecosystems. Beyond detecting the presence of wildlife, bioacoustic signals can reveal their behavior. However, behavioral bioacoustic...

New paper from @sheppard_cat out today in Biology Letters @RSocPublishing exploring how damselfish aggression affects space use in competing herbivrous fishes. Spoiler - it all depends on how angry that damsel is! https://t.co/K4VVL84lAr

Interspecific interactions are fundamental drivers of animal space use. Yet while non-consumptive effects of predation risk on prey space use are well-known, the risk of aggressive interactions on...

Massive thanks to @_nautonmywatch for some serious data extraction over the last few months, racking up many hours staring at Eventmeasure & flighty fish. Excited to get analysing those data & continuing collaboration on our findings :)

Very sad today to say goodbye to @Lisa_B_E who has been an enormous asset to our group, mentored many, inspired us all, visualised the sh*t out of data & brightened our (especially my!) days. BUT happy to see new adventures form & future collaboration emerge!

Congratulations @AnnabellKlinke! Looking forward to seeing your macrobehaviour in action 😃 Very exciting
Woke up with a big smile yesterday after receiving one of the ICRS Graduate Fellowships! 🎉🥂 With the help of @ICRSCoralReefs I will study how the loss of habitat structure affects damselfish cognition and personality 🐠🧠

This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of. Out now in @ScienceMagazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working? The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines. https://t.co/OcZxW2Gkzq 🧵
science.org
Governments recently adopted new global targets to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity. It is therefore crucial to understand the outcomes of conservation actions. We conducted a global...

Nest design in birds has been assumed to be an innate ability, but they can use their experience to be more flexible than previously thought. 🪺 Usually, these studies occur in the lab, but this work is being done in the field by @libby_chaps! #ASABSpring2024

Excited to have a new PhD candidate starting with us in October to explore changing rules of engagement in reef fish communities in response to global change @envision @lecreefs @Sal_Keith More closer to the time :)
