*New #evolution paper* Sparrow-weaver mothers lay larger eggs when they will have more help feeding chicks. Maternal reaction norms to help are *opposite* for egg size & nestling feeding rate. Cool. But why do this? 1 of 3. Fine work @p_capi. tinyurl.com/2djsp6zd #ExeterCEC

Really interesting PhD oppon 'social chaos' in pigs SRUC . Aspiring behavioural ecologists that haven't clocked incredible applications to (and data from) captive populations... should have a look. Animal behaviour can be interesting AND useful too! findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

This work was a team effort by co-authors @ruthjgee, Alastair Wilson, and Sarah Medill. As well as founder of the Sable Island Horse Project project, Philip D. McLoughlin, and co-PI Jocelyn Poissant (mostly on 🦋), who, over a decade ago, had the forethought to begin hoarding handfuls of🐴💩
