🦞 Our new paper on the role of environmental complexity in cognitive development of juvenile lobsters finally swam into the light! Interested in individual variation in cognition, and its implications for conservation and welfare? Have a look here doi.org/10.1007/s100... 🦞

Really proud of this one. Our first study on innovative problem-solving in free-ranging small mammals is fresh off the press of Animal Cognition rdcu.be/eOHl3. We looked at what happens with human disturbance in a protected area...without disturbing our most precious collaborators!

🔔 Cool new paper alert! 🐭

🚨The second paper from my PhD is out🚨 If you want to know more about infanticide in a small mammal species and whether females would delay pregnancies to avoid it, check out our new Behavioral Ecology paper🐹available at doi.org/10.1093/behe... @heikorodel.bsky.social @jasminfiroz.bsky.social

🚨 Shrew paper alert! 🚨 Our latest study found that brain size changes stayed on track, but behavior? 🤔 Not so much❗ Captivity makes shrews hyperactive and less motivated to learn, hinting at chronic stress. 🐾 Curious? Full paper here: doi.org/10.1098/rsos... #Shrews @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Do you like to dip your fries in ketchup before eating it? Our cockatoos do too! In a new study in Current Biology, we showed our cockatoos innovated a new way to flavour their food: they dunk noodles in blueberry soy yoghurt. Read about it and watch our video abstract: www.cell.com/current-biol...

We uncovered the same statistical structure that is a hallmark of human language in whale song, published today in Science. @inbalarnon.bsky.social @simonkirby.bsky.social @jennyallen13.bsky.social @clairenea.bsky.social @emma-carroll.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
