Looking forward to talk about corvid communication and cognition in two weeks. Follow link to register! #bioacoustics #corvids #cognition

I am recruiting 1-2 postbacs for my parakeet sociality & cognition project! This position is for people finished with undergrad but who have not yet started grad school. Must be totally fascinated by parakeet social drama (there's a lot of it!)🪶🧪 Job ad here: ornithologyexchange.org/jobs/board/s...

Great thread. I've come to view many-analyst study designs as crisis-mining. They're commonly interpreted in a way to cause alarm for a result they're designed to generate. Metascience needs to move beyond the crisis framing and stop stripping science from its context. Domain knowledge matters.

🚀 On March 1 CES is launching TRANSMISSIONS. Hosted by our student reps, this talk series discusses topics that range from religion to animal culture with leading experts in cultural evolution. Stay tuned for key dates, speaker announcements, and more. We hope you'll join us for the ride!

Corvids cache food—surprisingly much in equatorial zones! breeding system, trophic niche, and habitat breadth not found to affect whether a species is a specialist or generalist cacher specialist caching (seasonal, seeds/nuts for long-term retrieval) likely ancestral state #BehCog behav eco evo 🧪

New paper by @joewoodman.bsky.social showing the enormous power of combining long-term datasets answering essential questions in ecology and evolution! Proud to be part of this network @spibirds.bsky.social

Briefly putting on my hat as @asn-amnat.bsky.social President: The ASN Council has just distributed an updated message to the American Society of Naturalists members with information about actions that can be undertaken to advocate for science, and scientists, within the US:

Incase you thought what’s happening in the US can’t affect you….The DHS is being cancelled. The biggest demographic data collection effort in the world, with over 400 waves of data collected since the early 1980s. It was funded by USAID.

Two really important papers for anyone interested in causal inference in ecology came out recently in Ecology Letters. 1st up (by @lauradee.bsky.social & @katherinesiegel.bsky.social) is this over-view paper. Really useful for both experts and beginners. https://buff.ly/4gZgTWa

"The land requirements of renewable energy projects are often criticized in public debates.. the study shows that in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, far more land is allocated to golf courses than to renewable energy facilities." well well well 🙃 phys.org/news/2025-02...

To be, or not to be, part-time in academia? This is a tricky question that has faced many of us and in @elife.bsky.social we discuss the benefits and challenges of being part-time. With @emiliapsantos.bsky.social and a fantastic, interdisciplinary team! elifesciences.org/articles/106...

I saw a talk on this project last year, and five stars, two thumbs up, just very cool, interesting, and utterly enjoyable science. (unless perhaps you live is Sydney and are being outsmarted by trash birds)

Social networks of birds are often constructed from spatio-temporal data streams of feeder visits, but how do we define ‘connection’ and does it matter? While common definitions yield similar patterns, do consider context of systems and research Qs! Well led by co-first authors Alex and Jamie! 🧵👇

Deeply impressed by the authors’ efforts! MacaqueNet’s social behaviour data is a fantastic system for studying the evolution of social relationships — grounded in collaboration and FAIR data principles!! Well done @delphinedemoor.bsky.social @ljnbrent.bsky.social et. al!!
