A meta-analysis uses data from over 100 published studies to assess how prey respond behaviorally to different cues of predation risk, and found that the strength responses to direct and indirect cues varied depending on the environment.. 🦁 buff.ly/40FGyPf Maggie Jones


Happy to see the recent paper that I co-led with Upama Aich and with Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) has been chosen by Journal of Animal Ecology for the #researchhighlights. Nicely crafted by @CleliaGasparini Original paper available at: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

First data paper from my postdoc at SLU Wild Research is now out in Proc B! We found that psychoactive pollution decreased the migration success of brown trout in a natural lake system! Massive thanks to the coauthor team for their work on this! Paper 👉 tinyurl.com/yn77u2nb




Congrats to my (first!) Tuscia's student Giulia who successfully defended her Bachelor thesis today Università degli Studi della Tuscia. Her work on the impact of global #pollutants on the behavioural variation in aquatic wildlife received unanimous praise from the committee. Proud supervisor🥹


The first many-analysts study in ecology is finally published! 🥳🙌 300+ coauthors and 5+ years, this was a massive effort by Elliot Gould Dr Hannah Fraser Tim Parker and co. Open access 👉 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…



After many years of work, our paper on whether smarter fish are more reproductively success is finally out. Congrats to Ivan Vinogradov Rebecca Fox , Claudia Fichtel & Peter Kappeler. nature.com/articles/s4155…

So good to see this one finally out in the journal issue; work done with amazing Giovanni Polverino, Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) and the dream team. Keep your eyes peeled for the carryover effect of the global pharmaceutical pollutant! 👀👩🏽🍳

What a journey! Glad to see that our first collaborative work is now online Upama Aich Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) and team. More is coming! 🐟&💊


Negative effects of global pollutants on behavioural #plasticity and #individuality: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons #PAHs are as bad as pharmaceuticals! Congrats to Marta Favero for her 1st 1st-authored🗞️published in Animal Behaviour 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #PolverinoLab

Excited to see this🗞️online in which we detail how #EngineeredSystems can advance #AnimalBehaviour and provide a roadmap to fuel interdisciplinary collaborations Available in Open Access👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Brilliantly led by Marina Papadopoulou & Andrew King


If you are a domestic student interested in working on insect migration/conservation or citizen science Monash University, please reach out ASAP. The domestic round deadline is May 31st. You can find more about our research interests here. shawanchowdhury.com.

Congrats to Claudio Pardo who defended his PhD (co-supervised with Assoc Prof Adriana Bellati), and to Bianca Melita Palmas who completed her research assistantship. They will be missed, but I am proud to see them spread their wings and continue their🎓journey #PolverinoLab Università degli Studi della Tuscia
