An ethogram for #ruff chicks showing age-related changes in social and other behaviors. Results from a master thesis by @uditnair.bsky.social and PhD chapter from Veronica Rohr-Bender.

Excited to share this study, which my friend contributed to during his master’s work with ruffs. It presents a comprehensive ethogram for chicks and age-related behavioural changes. He is now looking for PhD positions to continue his work with birds. If you have any leads, please reach out to him!

Seats still available for the Meta-Analysis in R course (11–14 May, online) with @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social & @shreyadimri.bsky.social Hands-on training from systematic reviews to meta-regression, heterogeneity & publication bias using R (metafor, orchaRd) www.physalia-courses.org/courses-work...

PRISMA is a REPORTING guideline!!

I am excited to be talking about using #Quarto for Manuscripts and attending a lot of exciting sessions on how we can make science better! The selection of Workshops in the Symposium is amazing, it is a tough choice! Registrations are still Open!

My job market talk coming out of grad school was about gender differences in STEM. Gelertner's explanation for observed differences served as a foil for the rest of my lecture.

📣Please share: We are looking for a field assistant to join our team in studying #ruffs on coastal meadows at Botnian Bay in Finland. The job will provide fantastic insights into lekking behaviour and provide essential skills in field ornithology. Details here www.bi.mpg.de/2790786/2512...

Come join us for an exciting week of workshops. Next year will start on a high!!

New Pre-print Alert ‼️ Fascinated by bird nests? Me too!! Some birds add fresh green plants to their nests, even after laying eggs! 🌿 Could this behaviour have benefits? Check out our meta-analysis on @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social here: doi.org/10.32942/X2X... Why do birds use green nest material?

Interested in simulating the kind of data that you might commonly find in evolutionary and ecological studies? Then we have the R package for you - squidSim!! Check our new preprint: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

~10 years after the experiments, the paper is finally ready 😅😅 Take home: nothing beats patient collaborators 😆 Thanks @josefin-sundin.bsky.social @BenSpeers-Roesch @itchyshin.bsky.social @TimClark @SandraBinning!! #OceanAcidification #AnimalBehaviour #OpenScience ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

📢 This year, we’re hosting seven public lectures that anyone can attend completely free of charge between Sept 15 and 18! 📅 Registration for online attendance is open. 🔗 www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/OSSS... #OpenScience #OSSS25 #LMUOSC

Talked about our project on birds nesting behaviour! I experimented with illustrating the slides and enjoyed it so much! What an amazing 6 days of exciting talks, posters and meeting friends old and new! It's a wrap #Behaviour2025

It was an amazing experience talking about all that makes me excited. Heart-warming feedback from the participants and my favourite is "Now I know what a meta-analysis is and everything it is not!" and it summarises what I wanted to achieve in 4.5 hours of this workshop! #Behaviour2025

At #Behaviour2025 in this beautiful hall of Biswa Bangla Convention Center!

Check out our latest preprint 📣 TADA guidelines 📣 TADA (Transferable, Accessible, Documented, Annotated) helps researchers across disciplines share code, with the ultimate goal of increasing code availability & its quality. Brilliantly led by @eivimeycook.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.32942/X2D...

📣 Announcement: New Pre-print on @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social 🎉 TADA! Simple guidelines to improve code sharing Simple guidelines to help improve transparency and reproducibility of analytical code!

Hello here, I have decided to join back on socials again after a long long break! I will be giving a very exciting workshop on systematic reviews and meta-analysis pre-conference. If you will be around for Behaviour 2025, check it out!
