Wohlverdiente Ehrenmitgliedschaft! Herzlichen Glückwunsch und v.a. herzlichen Dank für alles Sabine Giessler! 🥳🥳🥳 @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social

In case you always wanted to know how on earth you measure the static charge of an animal - @samjakeengland.bsky.social our keynote speaker has the answer! @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social

Attending the keynote talk of assistant prof Isabel Damas Moreira, University of Bielefeld, bridging lizard behaviour with antrophogenically influenced landscapes. Learning so many cool facts about lizards🦎 @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social

💥👋 Animal Behaviour researchers currently at #DZG2026 - join us for the behavioural biology section meeting on Thursday, 1pm 10.09.2026, room F1🤗🤗🤗 See very old-fashioned paper post with info 😅 @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social @goatswhostare.bsky.social

Excellent talks on shrew auditory perception, modelling based on bat collective behaviour @beleyurthejasvi.bsky.social and costly courtship in spiders @denisebe.bsky.social @uhl-lab.bsky.social 🐀🦇🕸#DZG2026 @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social

Enjoyed the first behavior session at the DZG here in Münster.

DZG section Behavioural Biology@dzg-behaviour.bsky.social · 2w ago

Session #1 was all about change - novel diets in wild house mice, the impact of heatwaves on behav differences in woodlice, & how cities are changing the social lives of animals! Top presentations by our speakers Ekaterina Gorshkova, @urban-squirrel.bsky.social and @averymaune.bsky.social! #DZG2026

Interested in a postdoc at the University of Konstanz - maybe even to work with us on active sensing/bioacoustics/collective behaviour? Non-discipline specific postdoc fellowships @zukunftskolleg.bsky.social www.uni-konstanz.de/zukunftskoll... 12th October deadline!

Curious about non-invasive methods to study behaviour? Join our satellite symposium this Friday morning in room 234! 🤩💯#DZG2026 @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social

@dzg-behaviour.bsky.social Already a great first 1.5 days of DZG meeting behind us-2.5 more to go 🥳 amazing to see old friends and make new ones! Networking on the wing 🦇🦇🦇

Our last session today covers bats' ability to (echo)locate in large groups, and offspring cooperation in burying beetles. Great talks delivered by @beleyurthejasvi.bsky.social and @paulhuber.bsky.social! #DZG2026

#ECBB2026 and thank you to our plenary speakers!

#ECBB2026 We hope everyone had a fantastic time over these past four days! We would like to take a moment to thank our volunteers for their outstanding help and our organising committee for their monumental efforts! See you in Dublin for #ECBB2028

Aaaand in Dublin in 2028! With a promising location for the conference dinner 😇🥳🥳🥳

See you in Vienna for the next ECBB in 2027 🤗🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Amazing talk and very interesting and impactful research by Prof. Rojas @biobiiana.bsky.social. It was a pleasure to attend this plenary talk!# ECBB2026

Great to see so many ECRs staying behind and chatting with some of the keynotes from the session: From minds to populations: functional links in coexistence in the Anthropocene 💚 @asab.org #ECBB2026

#ECBB2026 Day 3 opening with @queenfireface.bsky.social introducing the one and only Tim Caro for his plenary talk on Mammalian Colouration.

Not only was he chairing the session, but he also gave a great final talk about his long-term research on black-eared kites 🐦‍⬛and how anthropogenic influences are impacting their behaviour @nishantkumar.bsky.social @asab.org #ECBB2026

#ECBB2026 Opening the first talk of the second Cognition and Communication symposium is Grant Doering and his work The evolutionary origin of group recruitment in acorn ants

Super cool research and preliminary findings on tool use in Goffin's cockatoos 🦜🥳 at #ECBB2026

Look at this motley crew! Track them down… Ask them questions… find out about the ASAB Student subcommittee! #ECBB2026

#ECBB2026 DAY2 Plenary 2 - Another fantastic talk delivered by Christopher Schell 🐺 I learned so much about coyotes - the heros, tricksters and disrupters! 🤘 Their ability to adapt to different environments is 🙌 but also what does their behaviour says about us! Find out more cjschell.com @asab.org

🔊 New paper alert 🤩 Finally out after a looooong time and open access at #ANYAS Interdisciplinary work (here the liaison of biology and linguistics) is challenging but so worthwhile!! Thank you so much @susfuchs.bsky.social and Ludger Paschen! #bioacoustics #openaccess doi.org/10.1111/nyas...

We analyzed speech rhythms from 48 human languages using methods drawn from biology and linguistics. Interonset intervals across languages are surprisingly similar, with a median value of 2 seconds.,...

In this paper with Lara S. Burchardt & Ludger Paschen, today published 🤩in #ANYAS we compare speech rhythms in 48 languages on a broad temporal scale (Inter-Onset-Interval) and find that it is consistent and actually comparable to various non-human animal rhythms. doi.org/10.1111/nyas...

A very inspiring first plenary of @andyradford.bsky.social working on animal communication across so many fascinating species. Great start of the conference @ecbb2026.bsky.social

A fantastic first day plenary from Prof @andyradford.bsky.social! We can say for certain it won't just our committee that will be thinking about the similarities between woodhoopoes and football fans going forward!

Loved that @andyradford.bsky.social kicked off #ECBB2026 with the first plenary. For the last 5 years, Andy has been working extremely hard as the ASAB Executive Editor of the #AnimalBehaviourJournal and today just happens to be the day that he has passed on the torch to @bbmwong.bsky.social 🥰

A 33-year study on Costa Rica’s white-faced capuchin monkeys reveals that extreme climate events force the primates to abandon their social norms. Severe droughts cause food scarcity, driving intense competition, territorial sensitivity and shifting group dynamics. Adam Litchkofski reports.
