- Fascinating findings! This is what I love about behavioral ecology experiments. Simple and clever experimental designs can elegantly answer important questions.
- Looking to build T-mazes for behavioral experiments? I’ve shared open, fully editable designs on my GitHub repository linked below. I used these designs for my own experiments. Happy to chat if further if you have any questions !
- Reposted by Chinmay Hemant JoshiThere is still some time to submit for our Special Collection on social cognition and anthropogenic environments! We are looking forward to hear from you! link.springer.com/collections/... Please do get in touch if you have any questions. #openaccess #socialcognition
- Excited to announce that Eli Garcia-Pelegrin and I are co-editing a special collection for Animal Cognition on "Social Cognition in a Human World". Do you study how urbanization, pollution, heat stress, fragmentation, ... affects cognition? We want to hear from you! link.springer.com/collections/...

- New PhD alert! We'll be applying animal welfare ideas to look at how stress affects bees, looking at the effect on bee brains with @lenariab.bsky.social, and working with @sensibee.bsky.social developing new monitoring methods. Please spread the word! #bees #PhD 🧪 www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

- Great perspective on why world needs behavioral ecology and behavioral ecologists !!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Brings back happy memories of ISBE 2024 where the conversation about this paper began.. great to see it out in @natecoevo.nature.com. Thanks to co-authors and to the organisers of that brilliant conference 🙏🏽. @bbmwong.bsky.social @stuwest.bsky.social, Suzanne Alonzo🫶, Sasha Dall, “Dr Cunningham”

- Reposted by Chinmay Hemant JoshiAre you an early-stage graduate student (2nd or 3rd year) or early-stage postdoc based in the US or Canada, working primarily in Drosophila? Would you like to help improve the experience of all trainees working in Drosophila research? If so, read on. (Please repost to reach a broad audience.)
- Pre-print alert 🚨🐜!!! I am really excited to share results from the first empirical chapter of my PhD. We ( @dornhaus.bsky.social and I) set out to examine how fire ants deal with perturbations to communication during foraging. Turns out their foraging is not robust to this perturbation. (1/5)

- Dr. Burman accomplished what many conservationists around the world fail to do- involving community in the conservation process and making the bird a part of local cultural Zeitgeist! Hope her work inspires more such endeavors!

- Great paper from @tomerczaczkes.bsky.social, Federico-Javier Olivera-Rodriguez, and @curiousant.bsky.social! Individual ants modulate pheromone trail reinforcement w.r.t distance of the food source from the nest, but do not modulate compete against outdated trail.
- At least in my experience, science discussions are increasingly becoming more transactional than conversational (Especially post-pandemic period). What do you think about this?
- Very timely article on declining fieldwork experience among ecologists amidst changing natural and technological landscape! It would be interesting to further study if fieldwork is indeed declining or becoming hyper focused on a very few systems(in specific geographies). Soga and Gaston 2025.
