I only just started this book and I fucking love it. Please read. Thank.

but no srsly, thank you for considering it. It feels like talking to a friend who Knows how fucked up your family is.

You've been away for a while, so you're shielded from the worst of their damaging tantrums, but uncompromising bare facts of the situation still sober you up somehow.

Wild animals have found that the living is easy around human settlements. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240423-the-scavengers-stalking-the-worlds-cities Why are we surprised?

🚨 New Publication Alert 🚨
From Mind to Matter: Patterns of Innovation in the Archaeological Record and the Ecology of Social Learning

We model the conditions under which new technologies spread, how they spread, and what we should expect to see in the archaeological record given different types of transmission.

Code is open and available at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8320361

Article, (DM for a hardcopy) is up at: https://doi.org/10.1017/aaq.2023.71

And back to #ants 🐜! 📢 New paper on #collective emigration #dynamics & #DecisionMaking. Caste composition affects the chances of finding a new nest & relocation success. We also provide a model that helps understand how this happens.

Animal behavior is notoriously complex. This #PLOSBiology Perspective looks at how technological advances in #BehavioralEcology have enabled the study of variability over space and time, allowing a more holistic view of this complexity.

Rattlesnakes can calm down their friends, study shows

"Research reveals that rattlesnakes, like humans, experience stress reduction when in the presence of a companion snake, a phenomenon known as social buffering."

Scientists advocate for integration of biogeography and #behavioralecology to rapidly respond to #biodiversityloss @PNASNews https://pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2110866120 https://phys.org/news/2023-04-scientists-advocate-biogeography-behavioral-ecology.html

Animals respond to weekday vs. weekend differences in #human activity in their habitat.

#Hummingbirds decreased defense of their territories during busy weekdays compared to weekends, which allowed rivals more access to their flowers.

Studies like this one (Mendiola-Islas et al 2023) are reminders of the effect that humans have on #animals and #plants living with or near them, even when we are simply going about our business.

Snakes Can Hear You Better Than You Think

Researchers have dispelled the myth that snakes are deaf to airborne sound and can ‘hear’ only ground vibrations. Snakes were placed in a soundproofed room, and sounds with different frequencies were played on speakers. [...] The experiment suggests that snakes can indeed hear sounds in the frequency range and volume of a human voice.

Hello synapse.cafe!

Just migrated from sciencemastodon, a perfectly good instance, but I think this will feel a little more like home. Anyway, #introduction time again!

I’m an assistant #professor at the University of Manitoba in #Winnipeg. I run the #Invertebrate #Neuroethology #Laboratory, where we study #AnimalBehavior, #Neuroscience, and #BehavioralEcology. We are interested in the #NeuralCircuits of #Learning, #Memory, and #DecisionMaking, especially with respect to #TimeMemory, other areas of #Chronobiology, and #MultisensoryIntegration. We work mostly with #HoneyBees (#Apis #mellifera), but we like all #inverts!

I'm not sure what the solution is, but it is a problem across race, ethnicity, gender, and even language.

That said, I'm inclined to think it is a problem easier solved by decentralized entities agreeing to standardized code of conduct rather than a centralized entity attempting to enforce. Easier, although not easy. 🤓

#Introduction

#AssistantProfessor at U. of North Texas #UNT. I study #BehavioralEcology (#BehaviouralEcology) and #CommunityEcology with #insect #pollinators. My lab focuses on how #GlobalChange affects pollinator communities and the interactions within those communities, including #bee #foraging behavior.

Current projects study pollinators in #rangeland and #SocialInformation use across insect functional groups. Also collaborating with #TPWD to assess #conservation status of TX #NativeBees.

#introduction

I'm Alli, I am a phd student studying #migration #ecology of Mountain plovers. I'm broadly interested in #behavioralecology. Although most of my research is in the realm of #ornithology, I'm curious about why all kinds of animals do what they do!
