📰New Lab Paper!📰

I'm biased, but this one seems important.

🚨 New paper alert! 🐺🦊🐶

Not afraid of the big bad wolf: calls from large predators do not silence mesopredators nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wl…
You might think that coyotes would stay silent when they hear wolves. Or that wolves would shut up when they hear dogs.
No way.

Very cool work coming out on humans’ ability to discern emotional valence from chicken calls, in collab with our own Oliver Burman Lincoln School of Life Sciences

We're looking for someone in Europe, ideally Portugal or Spain, who can provide statistics expertise to ethology / animal welfare research. In principle we're looking for a paid for service, but other types of collaborations also considered.

Help an animal science student Harper Adams University by completing this survey 🐦👇
