Thrilled to have the first project in my @snsf_ch Ambizione fellowship published in @PNASNews this week. With @VictoireMartig2, @Samellisq and @SavingGorillas, we asked, what is a good social environment for a gorilla? And the answer was complicated... pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excellent cetaceans of the Azores in the Guardian today. But I do feel the need to point out that this male is not "escorting" the group from "300m behind". Females lead the group. And males are reliant on their female group mates to survive. The escorting is the other way round

I’m seeing a lot of anger and disappointment in badger circles today that the badger cull is ending, but not ending fast enough. Apologies for the long thread 🧵, but tet me explain why I think the news is the best it could be 1/25

Some friends found this on a fence in rural Devon, UK and I am at somewhat of a loss. So I am applying to the collective wisdom of those left on Twitter...

My first PhD chapter is out as a preprint! Together with @danielj_redhead, @rlmcelreath, and @PrimBehavEcol, we propose a general analytical framework to study the causes of animal social network structure, using Bayesian & Causal modelling. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Four years on, the paper which prompted this thread was retracted but the ludicrous dataset the thread describes is still thriving in the academic literature (and beyond). Read our article and 🧵 below for examples statnews.com/2024/06/20/ric…

*Very* excited to see the last study of my PhD making the cover of @ScienceMagazine on the macaques of @CayoSantiagoPR. We show that ecological disturbances can alter selective pressures on social ties leading to persistent societal changes. shorturl.at/i2WIB 🧵👇

Menopause not only occurs in humans, but also several species of whales. And it’s a mystery why it exists! Charli Grimes’ research in killer whales indicates that postreproductive females reduce injury in their male offspring (but not their grand-offspring) #ASABSpring2024
