Dynamic #evolution of #locomotor performance independent of changes in extended phenotype use in #spiders #ProcB ow.ly/HATQ50Q202a Kaja Wierucka Braxton Jones Shahan Derkarabetian Jonas Wolff

Have web-building #spiders evolved to be slower than their webless hunting variety? Seemingly not: ow.ly/2oGm50Q0zo3 #ProcB Kaja Wierucka Braxton Jones Shahan Derkarabetian Jonas Wolff

🔔 New paper from Evolutionary Cognition Group with Kaja Wierucka Yvonne Zürcher and Judith Burkart. We developed a hierarchical #MLclassifier capable of determining #marmoset identity from its calls and surpassing traditional non-hierarchical classifiers in performance doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2…

My first primatology conference!

This summer don't miss the second edition of the Marmobrain Workshop.
With Afonso C. Silva as keynote lecturer!

Spiders come in a lot of different sizes and shapes.
Yet their overall body proportions have been remarkably stable over millions of years of evolution despite lots of changes in lifestyles.

I'll present tomorrow my poster on 'changes in maximum tusk size in hunted savannah elephant (L. africana) populations' at #ICCB2021 !🐘 If you can't see it on the poster page, I left a link to the poster on my bio and on the discussion tab. Can't wait to hear your thoughts! 😊

Tune into ASAB winter conference Defunct ASAB Conference @asab_tweets today to join me for my interactive poster (poster 2.5, 15:00CET to 17:00CET). I'll be presenting a part of my master’s project with the Evolutionary Cognition Group: Yvonne Zurcher, Kaja Wierucka and Judith Burkart. See you there!

The paper presenting the World #spider #trait #database is now out with participation of many of our members. If you work with #spider s consider contributing. More #opendata leads to more knowledge.
