Had the pleasure of meeting Jane Goodall once, in 2011 while in grad school in Buffalo NY. This clip captures how she related to and inspired the public just as much as she inspired generations of behavioural biologists, conservationists & women in STEM. π

In memory of Dr. Jane Goodall, we're releasing a special podcast episode today. Ira Flatow shares his memories of the renowned primatologist, including a 2002 interview in which they discussed her groundbreaking discoveries and hopes for a better future.

Day 5 of #Behaviour2025 kicks off with a plenary by @samellisq.bsky.social on a question that I have thought about many times. Why does menopause evolve in some species but not in others? And how do social structures and conflict contribute to their evolution?

The gist: we show how viruses are naturally embedded ecosystem components, rather than external, merely disease-causing agents. Their occurrence and assembly is strongly influenced by wildlife (host) exposure to environmental factors, here macaques' group living and exposure to humans and livestock

With just 16 Red Wolves known to remain in the wild, every wolf is essential + worth protecting.
#SaveRedWolves
Asia's carnivore conservation is often focused on big cats, overlooking some of the world's most diverse & ancient wolves πΊ
Research at @wildcru.bsky.social suggests embracing an integrated approach, to help wolves and other less-protected species and landscapes π
