Huge thanks to @sheinalew and @DurhamPsych for a warm welcome, and @AvHStiftung for funding my cross-cultural research on socio-economic correlates of individual foraging decisions, and how social ties buffer environmental risks and food insecurity in subsistence communities

Ever tired of manually coding videos? Ever dreamt of automating behavioural coding? Come along my talk tomorrow (Friday!) in @ecbb2024, 10am room Meerkat, to learn more! For people not in ECBB, pre-print coming soon...🥸

thoroughly enjoying #ECBB2024 @asab_org - great science and plenty time to socialise here to represent @SPIbirds, a resource hub and network facilitating collaborations and cross-study analyses for improved generalisability. Join and use! Maybe start your own SPI initiative?!

How do birds feed in urban areas —do they go for ultra-processed junk, or prefer unprocessed food? @ShanaCaro is looking for collaborators to repeat her neat and simple experiment. #ECBB2024
What don't we know? • Most studies are done on humans or rodents... presentation slide text: Do birds show the same tendency to prefer ultra-processed foods? Most studies on anthropogenic bird foraging compare urban to rural sites... How do birds forage in suburban settings? How effective are conservation efforts, such as sanctuaries, at affecting bird behavior?

presentation slide text: Future directions • Expand to more sites • Longitudinal studies • Health impacts of processed food in birds • Get in touch if you'd like to chat collaborating!

Some benefits of taking the long view of species, according to Christina Riehl. There is always more to learn and discover, including whether your study species has previously unnoticed referential alarm calls! 🚨🦅🚨🐒 #ECBB2024
Slide reading “Three Reasons For a Long View: 1. Ecological conditions are variable across years → Why do groups vary in size? 2. Lifetime reproductive success reveals trade-offs → Why do females act as brood parasites? 3. Different observers notice different behaviors → How do anis communicate danger?”

happy gotcha day, Mellori! 10yrs ago, this adorable goofball completed our pack 💕 Mellori (white, brown, black) and Siro (black and grey) are both former strays from Spain, adopted while we lived there for research on cooperatively breeding crows #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog
