We have not yet introduced #AnimalTA to the Bluesky community, but it’s a free and user-friendly tool for animal behavior research! 🕷️🔬 See here how it’s used to study spiderlings dispersal in our experiments. Have questions? Feel free to contact us! #Science #Spiders 🧪

Data analysis day - trout response to novel object (🐖). Some fish not bothered. Others really don't like the pig. Is this related to the different husbandry / enrichment environment the fish were held under 🤔. Time will tell. #fishwelfare @animalta.bsky.social working well for the tracking 🙂

A very exciting PhD on the ecological implications of divergence & adaption to warm water habitats in 3-spined sticklebacks combining field work in Iceland, mesocosms, tank studies & lab-work in the UK. Great team, lots of exciting ideas and techniques to test them. iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships...
