We are incredibly grateful for the investment by UZH Science into our long-term fieldwork and our amazing new research station that makes fieldwork more productive (and comfortable!) 🙏🏻 #40years

BIG shout out to our wonderful research group who are leading the way with their exciting research: @ManuelaBizzozz3 Riccardo Cicciarella Svenja Marfurt Kathryn G Holmes Pernille M Sørensen Emma Chereskin Laura Palmer Stephanie Mason (she/they) @samwisewitt Felix Smith and Julia Weidmann 🙌🏻🐬🐬🐬

New work from our research in Shark Bay out in PNASNews today. UZH Science University of Bristol Biological Sciences FIU. Unlike in humans, intergroup alliances in dolphins emerge from a promiscuous mating system - no need for male pair bonds or parental care!

MASSIVE Congratulations to Dr Sam Wittwer @samwisewitt for passing his PhD defense today! 🍾🥳🙌🏻 We are so proud of all the fantastic work you have done as part of your PhD🐬🐬🐬 thank you also for being our database whiz and for always making us laugh 🙏🏻

We are so so so proud of you @samwisewitt! The PhD-hat suits you and so does that giant smile 🥰 We love you!!!

Our new paper provides a compelling argument that wild animal research stations are CRITICAL aspects of conservation. Because much of conservation efforts are detached from the lives of wild animals, the value that behavioral research provides to conservation is often forgotten.

Our 2023 field season has begun 🙌🏻 we will be in Shark Bay from April to November this year, continuing our long-term research on this incredible population + collecting data for 2 Masters, 7 PhD + 3 postdoc projects plus collaborators 🐬🐬🐬

Similar to humans, chimpanzees combine vocalizations into larger meaningful structures, as UZH researchers have shown. This ability might be evolutionarily more ancient than previously thought: news.uzh.ch/en/articles/me… Simon W. Townsend @Mael_Lx UZH Science NCCR Evolving Language

Amazing job opportunity in our department. Please share widely.

In the last years, Shark Bay's remarkable dolphins have appeared on the BBC's Animal Einsteins, Netflix's ANIMAL, and in The Secrets of Friendship on CBC. Now it's Switzerland's turn, with the two-episode Under the Spell of the Dolphins on SRF's Einstein. Enjoy it if you can! :-)

Planning our field work for 2024 Shark Bay Dolphin Research. Stay tuned for field updates. Dirk Hartog Island Monkey Mia Resort UZH Science University of Bristol Biological Sciences

Phase 2 of the 2024 Shark Bay Dolphin Research field season is underway with a new base set up on the remote Dirk Harthog Island. With brilliant weather, we have thoroughly explored this new + stunning field site. Meeting new dolphins, tiger sharks, dugongs + turtles, is a very happy team!

Stay tuned for more 2024 field season updates UZH Science University of Zurich
