Ever wondered how DNA metabarcoding compares to traditional methods for assessing diet? Curious whether these techniques could help inform the management of introduced deer in Australia? Then our latest research is for you! @janstrugnell.bsky.social @coatiben.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...

🚨 Out this week in @pnas.org 🚨 The flagship paper from my PhD @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @livingingroups.bsky.social - We show surprising statistical similarities in animal behaviour across states, individuals, and even species. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (🧵 1/10)

New research! Authors examine camera trapping trends in Australia, finding strong taxonomic, geographic, and analytical biases, but also new ways to meet big conservation objectives. Great stuff! Glad to play a very small part. Congrats Tom and WildObs! ⚡️ www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Twitter migration post #2: Why do primates have bigger brains? Study shows that it’s not for efficient foraging. In the Panamanian rainforest, Ben Hirsch et al. compared how capuchins, spider monkeys, coatis, and kinkajous solve the same foraging puzzle. kops.uni-konstanz.de/server/api/c...

Tardy shift from Twitter post #1: Excited to share that our paper on white-nosed coati subgrouping dynamics is out in Animal Behaviour! Using high-resolution GPS collars to track entire groups, we found that coatis consistently split with their close relatives. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
