#behaviour2023 — Public Fediverse posts

The @behaviour2023 conference comes to an end. I'm very happy I had the opportunity to present my work about cognitive control in archosaurs🦖 , for the first time with a talk in person.😀
Thanks to Berenika Mioduszewska for the picture.

Yesterday was a bit of a quieter day for me at #behaviour2023 , so my highlights of the day were Elisa Felsche‘s presentation of our work on #ExecutiveFunctions in children and #chimpanzees , as well as this very yummy Rosinenschnecke ⬇️ . Today finished the conference by learning about the super cool #Durga R package for visualizing effect sizes! Went back to the hotel with „Preussöön Schweinöö“ sing song by Bielefeld football fans on the tram. Looking forward to a hike tomorrow!

Thanks for everyone at #behaviour2023, I had such a good time. 💖 Special thanks to
Tristram Wyatt for organizing the
@ScientistRebellion workshop, and to all ~70 others who joined! Action is better than despair ➡️ https://scientistrebellion.org/ways-to-join/

Can't believe it's the last day of #Behaviour2023, strolling in in the sunshine thinking about all the great talks I've seen and people I've talked to.

It's not all done though, still our symposium on plasticity of social behaviour in response to environmental change to come, head to lecture theatre 11.

Also, if anyone wants a beer in the afternoon sun after the conference meet me at Siegfried platz, it's a metro stop in between the uni and the centre 🍻

Is anyone surveying the biodiversity of the tattoos at #Behaviour2023? It would be cheeky of me to take photos, but there are many impressive animals being shown here :)

Very excited for this plenary from Julia Saltz!! #Behaviour2023

Richard Mott (Uni of Leeds): pigs can hear up to 45 kHz, but pretty much all research so far on pig welfare/communication recorded/played only sounds up to 22 kHz. - To pigs, the sounds were probably obvious fakes. - To humans, high-freq noise was simply not there... oops. #behaviour2023

Next up: "there's been an explosion in research on rat tickling. Everyone wants to tickle rats" #behaviour2023

@yaxu This was the "training" stage before testing whether they can discriminate known/unknown humans. They can. The research is by Mylene Dutour #behaviour2023

Amazing what we do for #science sometimes... These researchers went out for weeks, saying the phrase "My elephant is green" to local wild #magpies, exactly 432 times to each magpie. #behaviour2023

Boosting everything I see on #Behaviour2023 ; bring it on! Much enjoying living the conference vicariously, enjoy the meeting to those in Bielefeld! @behaviour2023 #AnimalBehavior #AnimalCognition #AnimalBehaviour #TeamChicken

So excited by our symposium on the idea of habitat as an extended phenotype! If individuals have a certain control on their habitat (and it can be done through different ways) we have to consider it as a feature of the individual with many different consequences for ecology amd evolution. Great talks by @pimedelaar, Melanie Dammhahn, Peter Korsten, Freddie McKenzrick and Katie Morrow. Thanks to all of them! Always great to collaborate with my friends Sam Patrick & Niels Dingemanse #behaviour2023

Inspiring plenary talk by Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka on gorilla conservation and public health #Behaviour2023 🦍

Beautiful and inspiring plenary talk by Mauricio Cantor on human-dolphin cooperation 🚶🏽‍♂️🐬 #Behaviour2023

Very busy poster session! Lots of science discussions (drinks and pretzels included) 🥨 #Behaviour2023

Engaging and entertaining plenary talk by Michael Kasumovic connecting spiders, humans, video games and sexism 🕷🎮 #Behaviour2023

An important #bioacoustics topic discussed at #Behaviour2023: wind noise interference... Affects any project, especially recording in open habitat. Penguins. Zebra finches. ... Rhinos! Francesca Terranova mentioned her auto detector. Wind-baffles are difficult: they get degraded by UV, eaten by animals, used as nest material... #acoustics

This morning's plenary @ #Behaviour2023 from Mauricio Cantor looks like it's going to be great!

I am really enjoying #behaviour2023 so far! I‘ve listened to many talks about #ToolUse (including #AssociativeToolUse) and #problemsolving in a variety of species, learned about a super cool study on #CumulativeCulturalLearning in bumblebees, attended a #ScientistRebellion info session, and said hello to a few colleagues. It’s also the first time in a long time that I have travelled to a larger German city - sometimes I feel more foreign here than in the UK!

Maria kicks off our symposium at #Behaviour2023, standing room only the room is packed!

Michael Kasumovic's talk was pretty but the science on trade-offs was all over the place, we know variation in resource acquisition exists and in fact must exist if females want to select the "best" mates in sexual selection #Behaviour2023

#Behaviour2023

Melissa Bateson tells us about food insecurity in humans and starlings in a great plenary 🚶‍♀️🐦 #Behaviour2023

Brilliant colourful plenary talk by Devi Stuart-Fox 🦋 #Behaviour2023

Fantastic first plenary by Gloriana Chaverri on bat sociality and communication 🦇 #Behaviour2023

The #Behaviour2023 conference kicked off! 🥳

What a crowd! Good to see you all here! #Behaviour2023

Day two of #Behaviour2023, looking forward to some great plenaries and then this afternoon is our symposium on "The role of density dependent behaviour and plasticity on ecoevolutionary dynamics"! Lecture theatre 11 come join us

How #ParentalCare affects the Evolution of #GeneticVariation by Rahia Mashoodh. Not sure if it’s parentale care per se or strong #Selection pressures related to the novel environmental conditions caused by preventing parental care that are responsible for the changes in genetic variation, but the approach and the questions were very neat! #Behaviour2023
