Interested in doing human behavioral ecology in virtual worlds? Here's a fully funded PhD on predator-prey interactions in #DeadbyDaylight! bit.ly/3znEa3R #Evol2024 #ABS2024 Evolution Meetings Dead by Daylight Maxime Fraser Franco can tell you how it is day to day!

We're excited to be hosting this year's European Conference on Behavioural Biology (ECBB) at the UZH Irchel campus. The theme is long term studies, and we've show-cased many of the studies currently underway at Universität Zürich UZH Science. One day to go!

Apero time. Working on our social behaviours. #ECBB2024

And we're off with CharlotteChristensen talking about her awesome results on the survival benefits of multilevel societies in vulturine guineafowl #ECBB2024 ecbb2024

Great talks happening on the conference's long-term theme, accompanied by exciting newer projects #ECBB24

Salamatu Salamatu Abdu presenting work from her PhD thesis on new emerging parasites in great tits and how these shape the individual and social behaviour of great tits. ecbb2024 #ECBB2024

We recently preprinted our meta-analysis of spatial and social behaviour in wild animal systems! Have a read if you're interested in density dependence, disease transmission, network scaling and structuring, or comparative behavioural work: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… (1/4)

Nice work e-obs GmbH !

Next up benedetta_catitti will tell us about early life effects in red kites 🦅 ecbb2024 #ECBB2024

Antonia Hürlimann presenting the results of her exceptional MSc thesis on the interaction between spatial memory, habitat and environmental conditions on the collective movement of #vulturineguineafowl ecbb2024 #ECBB2024

Nice work on the human-dolphin mutualism by Damien R. Farine and colleagues

Finally, Mina Ogino shows how collective intelligence can promote emergent partitioning of resources, but that this benefit is eroded by social inequality among group members. ecbb2024 #ECBB2024

Huge congrats to Zegni Triki for the very well-deserved Tinbergen Award for her exciting research integrating cognition and ecology to understand variation in nature 🐟🐠🐡🧠🏅🥳

And it’s over! Huge thank you to the organizing committee, chairs and all of the volunteers that made #ECBB2024 such a fantastic conference! And thank you to University of Zurich for having us, what a lovely campus 🌳

It's over! Thank you to all the attendees, volunteers, speakers, chairs, and plenaries. The success of the meeting was very much down to the collective effort of everyone involved. Thanks also to sponsors and to Universität Zürich for giving us such great facilities to host this meeting. 👋

Had such a great time at ecbb2024. Listening first-hand to the latest developments in behavioural ecology is truly inspiring, and was the right motivation boost for my upcoming research stay in Australia at Ecology&EvolutionANU with Damien R. Farine! 🦅

Fan of fatty acids and stable isotopes? Enjoy planning and organizing? Join my new group as a technician!

Lab is looking for a PhD candidate to work on black widow web structure, diet, and fitness! This combines field work in the desert and lab experiments in Montreal! You also get to work with a great and fun research team and live in Montreal! bit.ly/3LOjPaV
