💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐋💥 Researchers in the Gulf of #California filmed orcas ramming dead #sunfish so hard the carcasses exploded.
The high impact strategy breaks #food into smaller pieces for juveniles and may also serve as #play. The sunfish’s rudder like tail seems to make a convenient handle for the #orcas to hold while striking.

Bird song has been central to the nature-versus-nurture debate. In my latest piece, I argue that new ideas from developmental science, combined with classic studies on the social shaping of song, point toward a way beyond the innate-versus-learned dichotomy. #birds #ethology #animal #genetics #biology #ornithology

Since it remains unclear whether my current #PostDoc contract will be prolonged in January, I am starting to look for a new #AcademicJob!
My expertise are #ecology, #ethology, #AnimalBehavior, with a focus on #olfaction in #mammals.
I had a stint in #NeuroEthology, but that wasn't quite my cup of tea, and I am currently working in #AnimalWelfare for husbandry animals (think cows, pigs etc).
I have done field work (wild rodents), lab work (very controlled behavioral assays), and pure data analysis.
I do everything in #rstats, so my standard analysis tools are GLM/GLMM, but I'm currently learning how to properly use Generalized Additive Models, as they seem like the natural next step.
I've also dabbled in #python in order to work with #DeepLabCut and #moseq, so the last few years I spent mostly with #ComputerVision, #DeepLearning, and extracting data from videos.
As that requires heavy GPU calculations, I've done most on my work on institutional and/or national #HPC, and then crunched the masses of resulting data in #rstatsI'm looking for a job in the #EU, preferably anywhere north of Germany, but let's be honest, I'll go wherever there is a job.

Eleven minutes into any political debate, the prefrontal cortex files for resignation. I kept field notes. Jane Goodall, Marc Laidlaw, Harari. One Italian podcast that replicates the experiment weekly.

Behavioral ecology is the study of the evolutionary basis for animal behavior due to ecological pressures. It examines how behavior evolves, functions, and adapts in response to an organism's environment.
