Led by @hanjabrrr.bsky.social, @damienfarine.bsky.social, and I, we combined ECG and GPS tracking from a whole group of vulturine guineafowl to show that collective movements, and especially attempting to lead under disagreement greatly increased Heart Rates.

Leading collective movements benefits individuals, giving choice among patches or first access to food, but how does negotiating who leads (or failing to get their way) impact potential leaders?
Our work @currentbiology.bsky.social finds physiological costs of disagreement and collective movements
Out now: The physiological costs of leadership
We reveal that initiating movements—especially when attempting to initiate against a majority and when there is directional conflict—drives elevated heart rates in vulturine guineafowl

Screenshot of a tweet from the ARC saying they’ll announce DP25 grant outcomes tomorrow (Tuesday 26 Nov).
ARC says they’ll release the Discovery Projects 2025 outcomes tomorrow.
Recently, outcomes announcements have tended to happen at/around 11am Canberra time.
My bot will pick up the announcement in RMS’s database and post immediately.
Good luck!
