24 early-career ecologists from 13 African countries have arrived at Mpala Research Centre for the #EcologyMasterclass - two weeks of hands-on training in the Kenyan savanna to build skills, confidence and networks. @mpalarc.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org

Next up in the @britishecologicalsociety.org Endemic webinar series, we'll focus on reasonable adjustments in the workplace and at university. Both in the field & in the office, being neurodivergent in ecology can be difficult – but there is help!

New PhD advert from us - 🐃🐂 - ⬇️ Behaviour and welfare of Hong Kong’s free-ranging feral bovids (cattle and water buffalo) - City University of Hong Kong www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

#Behaviour2025 out of context: "we did a different study that I'm not going to tell you much about" "Bees are not little humans, and humans are not big bees" "it's never easy to catch an insect when you are moving at 40-50mph" "I started my career in ants and made the natural move across to whales"

S. Anvitha: Drought led to changes in Asian elephants' body condition and social behaviors, along with increased miscarriages. These changes suggest possible welfare effects, too, and point towards the usefulness of studying welfare impacts of drought. #Behaviour2025 @behaviour2025.bsky.social

🚨Introducing the @sortee.bsky.social Guidelines for Data and Code Quality Control in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology🚨 doi.org/10.32942/X24... Increasingly E&E journals are recruiting data editors. We provide standardised guidelines for journals with data editors and those wanting to recruit them 🧵

Animal brains don’t think in a vacuum, they think in heatwaves & hypoxia, and around predators, parasites, and social groups. Our new review maps mechanisms, timescales, and gaps for understanding animal cognition in changing environments: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lau5Esvgs...

Animal energetics, movement, and coexistence are inextricably linked. What insights emerge when we consider these processes together? In our new paper, we present a conceptual framework that integrates these domains, outlines their connections, and highlights the value of their joint study.
