Excited to share our paper in Animal Behaviour(@asab.org)! We show that in ♂ house mice with different reproductive tactics,innovation emerges when ecological constraints limit time & space. With @avezyrakis.bsky.social, @fragdarm.bsky.social & Anja Guenther. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Are innovators born that way, or does solving problems come from experience?🐭 In our recent(ish) paper in @asab.org with @valmazza.bsky.social & Anja Guenther, we show innovation may be inherent in wild house mice and experience makes innovators better! paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2025.123441

📢One week left to apply! To promote research on #animal #behaviour in Greece, we are organizing a 3 day workshop on methods, from social evolution to collective behaviour 🐭🐟🐦🐒✨ 📍 Crete☀️ 🗓️ July 13-15 🌐 marinapapa.github.io/TRASEworksho... Supported by @biologists.bsky.social 🙏 DM for questions!

Pace-of-life syndromes fascinate me as they offer an intuitive way to understand striking individual variation across levels, yet evidence remains mixed. Our study at @ecol-evol.bsky.social shows that POLS are environment-dependent, in line with recent theory onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🎉 What a way to end the year! Very excited to see our new paper on 🐭 innovation and mate choice out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2025.11.077 With the amazing @fragdarm.bsky.social, @valmazza.bsky.social & Anja Guenther

Here we show - using long-term data of 12 years - that serum osmolality increases in striped mice in the dry season, and the harsher the dry season, the stronger the increase, indicating dehydration. @antoinestier.bsky.social @iphc-strasbourg.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jeb/article-...

Our new paper offers an explanation for the universal law that "under carefully controlled conditions.... an animal behaves as it damn well pleases." We explore how stochastic mechanisms may play an underappreciated role in generating individuality. (1/7 🧵) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🧪ETHOLOGY: Condition-dependent risk-taking in mice! 🐭💥🍔 Lopez-Hervas et al. show that diet quality and body mass shape mice’s reactions to risk — heavier or better-fed individuals play it safer, supporting the asset-protection hypothesis! Read here, it's #OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1111/eth....
