“the actions we outline are a beginning, not a checklist, for a decolonial ecology”. Although there’s so much more to do than one article could ever hope to cover, this is an excellent call to action for ecologists nature.com/articles/s4155…

I highly recommend checking out the original paper by Mark O'Hara Berenika Mioduszewska and co-authors on tool set use in wild Tanimbar corella! My dispatch on their paper is accessible for the next few weeks with this link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1dzYA3QW8Rwp…

We are recruiting a PhD in Avian Curiosity! The project investigates the causes and consequences of curiosity in kea and toutouwai. It's based Vetmeduni, but with some fieldwork in Aotearoa! Please check out the ad for more details and consider applying (or re-tweeting!)

Do parrots use tools to deter predators? Natural history observations of wild New Zealand kaka published in the latest issue of Behaviour suggest they do. DOI 10.1163/1568539X-bja10137

What an amazing postdoc, with Dr Alison Greggor as an exceptional mentor!

**🚨Open PhD position🚨** Want to use a variety of cool methods to understand cognitive evolution in wild parrots? Come join us! The fully funded PhD will be a joint award at Science & Medicine at ANU (OZ) and MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social (DE), and is open to all nationalities: ab.mpg.de/445655/Aplin

Whenever I met Julie over the past decade I was struck by her kindness, generosity, knowledge and enthusiasm. She was a huge inspiration to those of us following in her footsteps in cognitive ecology. This is such a loss for everyone lucky enough to cross paths with Julie

Kia ora twitter! MSc student, Stacey, had to cut her field season short due to covid. If you are able to collect seeds of matagouri and broom (Cytisus) please DM me or email [email protected]. Please retweet!

Very proud of the work that PhD student @tasvamos did on this review! Our first publication together summarises how researchers have so far attempted to quantify individual differences in spatial memory and their fitness correlates authors.elsevier.com/a/1etIc8MqMiit…

My PhD with Nicola Clayton and the birds in her lab shaped the way I think about animal minds and my career path. Gutted at this news and that other young scientists won’t have this chance

Hi Twitter, I need your help. For a book chapter that I am writing, I am looking for relatively recent conservation behavior success stories: stories about how knowledge of animal #behavior helped improve #conservation interventions. SCB ConsBehav WG

Super proud of Regan MacKinlay, who has successfully defended his thesis and published his first chapter. It’s been a wild ride and you overcame so many obstacles to achieve this. Well done Regan! conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

I am looking for a PhD student to join our research team to work on cognition in our long-term mountain chickadee field system in beautiful Sierra Nevada starting Fall 2023.

Awesome summary thread by Regan MacKinlay! He led this systematic review of the use of animal personality in conservation. We hope that both #behaviour researchers and #conservation practitioners will find it useful!
