A new study shows how the handling of small ectotherms 🐸 can impact recordings of their body temperatures 🌡️. A modified Foerster forcep may help reduce heat transfer during handling & provide more accurate measurements of body temperature. doi.org/10.1016/j.jt...

Excited to share insights on urban cockatoos innovations at the Australasian Ornithological Conference 2025, in Perth

Big day yesterday, CleverCockie lab member Lisa Fontana @lisafontana.bsky.social finished the last day of data collection for her PhD, completing an experiment on social learning in cockatoos. Congratulations Lisa! 🎉

📢 City lizards are more social ! Thrilled to share the first paper from my PhD, out now in #BiologyLetters @royalsocietypublishing.org ! We show that urban lizards are more social than their non-urban counterparts 🦎🏙️🌳🧪 doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... @behavecobie.bsky.social

Cognitive processes are robust to early environmental conditions in two lizard species #Reptile #Learning #DevelopmentalPlasticity doi.org/10.1093/behe...

Heat or stress hormones experienced in early life often impair cognition. A study @jexpbiol.bsky.social shows that spatial learning is unaffected in lizards when the eggs experienced such stressors. 🦎🥚 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/... @pablorecio93.bsky.social @danielwanoble.bsky.social
