Exciting conference coming up in Vienna this August!! Safe the date 🦉🎡

Spread the word! Behaviour 2027 will be taking place in Vienna, Austria, from August 23-27.

Okay this is just wildly cool - they tracked human ice-fishers *and* the fish they're hunting. Even though humans can't see the fish *at all* the humans are still surprising good at zero-ing on their prey. Probably the most complete picture of predator AND prey movement together. 🤯🎣

Proud to present our latest work "Tracking human foragers and their prey reveals adaptive predator-prey dynamics", now hosted on BioRxiv! 🧵 doi.org/10.64898/202... @ralfkurvers.bsky.social @scioi.bsky.social @arc-mpib.bsky.social @alexschakowski.bsky.social @dominikdeffner.bsky.social

Hey @isbe2026.bsky.social - I’ll be in Turin from tomorrow, and looking to recruit PhD student and postdoc to my lab in Stockholm soon… anyone interested in parasites, sexual selection, transgen effects, fish (guppy) tracking - let’s meet up!

Short ice break on our way to the icebreaker of #isbe2026 in Torino. Looking forward to a great week of science.

📢 Check out the new issue of Behavioral Ecology: Volume 37, issue 3 (May/June 2026) ➡️ academic.oup.com/beheco/issue... #AnimalBehavior #Ecology #Behaviour

Can behaviour and cognition support conservation efforts? 🐭💡🌍In this new paper we offer some insights into how dietary innovation and neophobia can help assess small mammals' responses to human disturbance in a protected area. It was a long journey, but I'm so proud of this! doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Dispersing individuals are often characterized by specific traits, known as 'dispersal syndromes'. But how do cognition and relative🧠size fit within this? Are 'big-brained' individuals more or less eager to disperse? You can read the answer in our recent publication: doi.org/10.1002/oik....

Do you have a background in behavioural ecology and are you interested in doing a PhD in Australia? I’m looking for new grad students so check out our website (BobWongLab.org) or come find me in Torino at #ISBE2026. 🐟🐠

📢 At this year's DZG meeting in Münster @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social , there is the opportunity to join this interessting satellite symposium: Non-invasive Methods in Behavioural Ecology: Use of Thermography. You can register here: dzg-meeting.de/en/satellite... Don´t miss this opportunity!🙌

The DZG meeting is happening in Münster this September! 🤩🎉🦊🧬 Please also pay attention to their exciting sattelite symposia, including: Non-invasive Methods in Behavioural Ecology: Use of Thermography! 🌡️📷🐾 dzg-meeting.de/en/satellite... Registration to the main event is open until July 31! #DZG2026

At this year's DZG meeting in Münster @ahanaaurora.bsky.social @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social, me and others are organizing a symposium titled: Non-invasive Methods in Behavioural Ecology: Use of Thermography. We have some free spots. You can register here: dzg-meeting.de/en/satellite...

This looks useful. A typical meta-analysis in ecology mixes experiments with observational studies, mixes coefficients with different controls and therefore different causal meanings. I would not normally say "hey the folks in medicine are doing it right, imitate them" but in this case maybe

Alfredo Sánchez-Tójar@asanchez-tojar.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Are our ecological conclusions built on shaky foundations? Our latest paper in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social highlights that Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment, crucial for ensuring the internal validity of research, is almost never used in #systematicreviews in eco & evo 📉 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Last couple of weeks to apply to join me for an MSc by Research @bristolbiosci.bsky.social for the September start date. Deadline 31st July. Lab-based #fishsci with awesome facilities: behavioural experiments in predation, collective behaviour, and anthropogenic effects. ioannougroup.com @asab.org
