📢Please retweet: Great CV development opportunity. A fixed term of 8 moths Lecturer (Education Focused) position in Animal Cognition and Behaviour. A full-time position, within the School of Biology, at the University of St Andrews. vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/41…

Bird nests come in all shapes and sizes, but how do birds build these intricate structures? New paper out on Nests and nest building in birds. Birds special issue in Current Biology. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨PhD opportunity🚨 "Evolution of pendant nests: do birds build to reduce predation risk?” Involves fieldwork, museum collections and phylogenetic analyses. Supervised by Prof Sue Healy (University of St Andrews) and Dr Sally Street (Durham University) iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/e…

Interested in animal cognition?🧬🧠💭🦅 NEW REVIEW PAPER by Sue Healy cognition wild/lab (@cogwild.bsky.social) @CentreBioDiv "Adding the neuro to cognition: from food storing to nest building" in Animal Cognition Check it out: ow.ly/Ashf50M8fRi

However, many interviewees in Tanzania reported having seen honey badgers and honeyguides interact, and think that they do cooperate. The most likely scenario is that badger-honeyguide cooperation does occur but is highly localised or extremely difficult to observe, or both (4/7)

As part of the new special issue dedicated to the evolution of building behaviour (royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2023/…), we discuss the future of bird building research. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Thank you to all the editors.

The cognition in wild lab is present and represented! We will give three talks. Come and hear us talk about birds building, foraging, and more building! @MarieHbert6 (Mon- Hormones) Dr MariaCTelloRamos(@mariatelloramos.bsky.social) (Wed-Foraging) Prof Sue Healy (Thur-Selection shapes animal cognition)

At #behaviour2023 and want to know more about the society here for you? Come to our ASAB stand in the main hall @asab_tweets asab.org (and huge thanks to the Behaviour 2023 team for sorting us with a spot at zero notice)

Great talk on hummingbird heuristics from Dr MariaCTelloRamos(@mariatelloramos.bsky.social) cognition wild/lab (@cogwild.bsky.social) #Behaviour2023

Sitting on the stairs to hear Sue Healy talk about nest building cognition wild/lab (@cogwild.bsky.social) #Behaviour2023

Beautiful talk about the songs of whales. Packed theater!! #Beaviour2023

Great final talk by Natalie Pilakouta! #Behaviour2023

Like big-scale evolution and also working with live animals? Think animal behaviour's super neat? Consider this (funded!) PhD position! Based at University of St Andrews, co-supervised by me & Sue Healy, open to international students, deadline Nov 27! findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

🚨Job Alert! We are thrilled to announce a #PhD position in our CooperationLab @StAndrews. Are you excited about the incredible social life of #rats and their cognitive abilities? Then this EastBio DTP job is for you! DM me, if you’d like to learn more. findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Another fully funded PhD opportunity in my lab (open to both UK and international students)! "The role of behaviour in facilitating or hindering adaptation to climate change" findaphd.com/phds/project/t… Apply by 20/12. Informal enquiries welcome. Please RT!

New paper out today! Most (but not all!) birds build nests. But what kind of nests? Where do they put them? How big are those nests? What's in them? Which parent builds, and how long does it take? In GEB, we present a global database of nest traits: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

They couldn’t appear to be more different, but bees and hummingbirds have more in common than you think: They both need to visit hundreds of flowers using efficient routes 🌸 🌺 🌹 Dr MariaCTelloRamos(@mariatelloramos.bsky.social) asks HOW 🪶#ASABwinter2023

Nest design in birds has been assumed to be an innate ability, but they can use their experience to be more flexible than previously thought. 🪺 Usually, these studies occur in the lab, but this work is being done in the field by @libby_chaps! #ASABSpring2024

Attention animal behaviour researchers! Sally Street (Durham University) is running a study of perceptions of other species and would love to hear from you. See link for more info or to take part: durhamuniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_55…
