A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”

Women end up doing the academic housework

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....

Are #Asianelephants behaviourally flexible? If so, how costly can it be? Most elephant studies come from protected areas with minimal human impact! That’s not the whole story! Here's our perspective on redefining elephant behaviour in human-altered landscapes 🐘 doi.org/10.1111/eth....

“‘We mostly think of nature as biodiversity, a concept, but this made it so personal, so emotional and so horrific.’” Fascinating study that asked volunteers to imagine — first-hand — what it might be like to live as a wild animal.

The only thing about this that surprises me is that I’d expect it be higher than 75% tbh.
