ketikagarg.github.io/blueSkyAcade... nice network viz of starter packs, edges indicate more than 3 shared members. @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social starter pack bridges behavioral ecology and mvmt ecology (checks out). but ecology is a subgraph disconnected from the largest subgraph of communities

Really Excited to announce that I've been awarded an SNSF Starting Grant to start my research group at Uni Lausanne late next year! It will be all about understanding behavioral development, taking into consideration the physical and social environments. The model system? golden eagles of course 😌

🚨 Evidence for social transmission of stress in zebra finches In this huge experiment, Hanja Brandl experimentally stressed zebra finches in replicated colonies, and found that their group mates (who were not exposed) showed similar behavioural responses. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10....

🥳🧪new paper out w/ @damienfarine.bsky.social about how movement shapes networks and interacts with transmission rules to affect spreading dynamics. Key take-away is that spreading on dynamic networks =/= spreading on static representations of those dynamic networks doi.org/10.1098/rstb...

🧪🥳 new preprint with @lucymaplin.bsky.social. in a large-scale cultural diffusion exp (n=144 birds), we find that great tits can assess socially observed payoffs and use that information in their own decision-making when faced with spatial variation biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
