🌟Our second plenary speaker kicking off our afternoon session - @AntoninoCalapai (Primatenzentrum DPZ) on enhancing primate cognition (research) 🐒🐒🐒 What an amazing display of a variety of autonomous devices to asses behaviour & cognition in captive group-housed primates! #gradbehav23

Leaving Bielefeld for the 3rd time in a year 😳 I had a great time at #gradbehav23, met some super cool people and learnt a lot. Hope to see everyone again soon 😊 Looking forward to my next visit too. I'm collecting quite some memories and friendships associated to this place🥲

Here’s mating Natterer’s bats, at an autumn swarming site. Mating activity carried on for over 45 minutes.

Look at this, #sexualselection and #AcademicTwitter! Some #bats don't need to put it in 😏 Also, sex can last up to 12.7 hours 😲and there's a video too 😁 Super cool paper!!!

New paper! 🦇❄️💤 How often do bats scout and switch hibernacula? For Natterer’s and Daubenton’s bats it turns out, almost never. …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Based on the brilliant long-term monitoring being led by Frauke Meier at @BatResearch_HGW, and published in Animal Conservation
