Black and white photo of museum diorama with two adult cheetahs and five kittens on a sandy base. There is no cyclorama backdrop.

Who shot the cheetah kittens? I remember having this thought fifteen years ago when visiting the Field Museum. I understood the rationale for taking specimens for science, but still—look at those little faces. Who could make specimens of them?

Turns out there's an answer. (CW: animal death) 🧵🧪

A nature conservation paradox: Invasive species are often threatened in their native habitat Non-native species introduced by humans are among the main causes of global species decline—they were partly responsible for 60% of the species that have become extinct worldwide in recent decades. No...

An excellent example demonstrating that invasive/nonnative/native/conservation status is context dependent and defines *populations* not species. phys.org/news/2024-12...

Chickadees sing different songs in sympatry versus allopatry Abstract. Character displacement theory predicts that closely-related co-occurring species should diverge in relevant traits to reduce costly interspecific

We compared 2080 songs from 72 individual black-capped and mountain #chickadee in sympatry and allopatry. Sympatric mountain chickadee song differs markedly from all other populations, consistent with character displacement theory

How animal culture affects evolution.

I very much enjoyed working with Anne Odling-Smee at Design Science to produce these videos.

Hi Andrew, I am a behavioural ecologist from Wageningen University. Could you add me? scholar.google.com/citations?us...

The Economist covered our "Strain on scientific publishing" paper.

What is this all about?

We collectively churn out more & more papers *per scientist*, an increasing pace, in a rapidly changing publication landscape.

Why? How? Want to make sense of this? 🧵

🚨JOB 🚨Would a title "Professor of Life History Evolution" suit you? If yes... Become a colleague of us here in Mainz! I am happy to provide more information if this intrigues you.

PhD position: Behavioural and ecological determinants of social strategies in great tits

Hi all, new to Blue Sky, so let me start with sharing a #PhD position @w-u-r.bsky.social that is still open for a few days (2 Dec). Come join our Behavioural Ecology Group! #Birds #Social #Behaviour search.app?link=https%3...

I haven't seen any starter packs made for behavioral ecology yet, so I decided to create one!

If you are a behavioral ecologist (any career stage), please reply so I can add you to the list so we can more easily find each other.
