Second paper out this week 😱😱 We present YOLO-Behaviour, a flexible, easy to implement, robust framework for automated behavioural annotation from videos, published in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social!! [paper] doi.org/10.1111/2041... [documentation] alexhang212.github.io/YOLO_Behavio...

To study emotions in free-ranging #animals, researchers rely on what they see: but inferring #emotions from #behavior is not enough! Our new preprint discusses how #technology could help us better understand animal affect under naturalistic conditions: osf.io/preprints/os...

So much fun having been part of the Konstanz School of Collective Behaviour #KSCB2025 - lots of interesting discussions on the concept of joint action, what it is, and how it can be studied across species. Thanks to the organizers for this exciting opportunity!

🚨 1 more week to apply!! 🚨 2 PhD positions in my group on cross-species comparisons & #development of joint action, #communication & #emotion in #chimpanzees and #children at @Uni-konstanz.de - DM me about questions ☺️ Application deadline: 16.06.25 Start date: 1.10.25

🚨 Language connection FOUND in chimpanzees? 🧠🗣️ For years, scientists thought the key to human language was a fibre connection, missing in chimp brains. New high-res brain scans just changed the game. 👀🐒 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Neuroscience #LanguageEvolution #Chimpanzees 1/n 🧵👇

Interested in biology and comparative psychology, and working in an interdisciplinary project and research team? I’m advertising two PhD positions on the evolutionary origins of cooperative sociality and communication (start 1.10.) at the University of Konstanz👇 links below!

Bonobos refuse to cooperate when rewards are unfair, showing signs of inequity aversion. Their reactions hint at ancient roots of fairness in primate social life. #Anthropology #Primatology #Bonobos #Fairness #HumanEvolution
