If there is an optimal behavior, why is there so much variation in the world? We found that, for white storks, context is everything. @anflack.bsky.social @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Orangutans nap to make up for lost sleep
New study reveals that wild orangutans recover from sleep loss with daytime naps, much like humans do
News you can use for better sleep 💤
Like us, orangutans need a good night's sleep. If they don't get enough, they squeeze in a nap the next day. They even have a trick: up to 10 mins napping for each hour missed last night. Try it at home.

We know some animals nap. But do they do it to make up for lost sleep?
Our joint study with Caroline Schuppli and the Suaq team dives deep into the sleep patterns of wild orangutans to find out their strategy for sleep homeostasis 🦧 💤

My first co-author paper is out in Current Biology!
In this study, led by Daniela Perez and Serena Ding, we show that nematode self-assembling towers occur in nature and can serve as a collective dispersal mechanism 🪱

Have you ever seen a worm tower?
Move over, starling murmurations. There’s a slimier, squirmier collective behavior in town. It's a living, twisting tower of worms.
Everybody, meet the wormuration 🪱🪱
