Do you want to know if birds can use hair-like feathers as high-frequency sound receptors during echolocation? Join our team as PhD student or postdoc and find out! ⬇️ www.bi.mpg.de/2809383/job_...

We hope that science policy makers, administrators and funders will take note and push for this. Also, more than political will, I think this endeavour needs field ecologists in India to come together for a larger good as opposed to individual pursuits.

Goodbye Kerteminde Hello Aarhus ;)

A good conferece is more than just good talks. It is also meeting old friends and making some new ones. So happy to meet @danstowell.bsky.social again after 2 years and @beleyurthejasvi.bsky.social after 1 week ;) #IBAC2025

The first plenary speaker of #Behaviour2025 : Prof Susan Alberts !

The Local Organizing Commitee welcomes behavioral ecologists from across the world and of all career stages to enjoy a five-day meeting rich in top-notch science and ample networking opportunities in Turin (Italy), 20-24 July 2026.

New preprint: Sounds of silence: electric mobility promises a quieter soundscape for wildlife, but may challenge ultrasonically sensitive species globally. With Baheerathan and Oliver Lindecke Desk reject from Global Change Biology #NextIsWhat :) www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

@gblackburn.bsky.social & I recently wrote this piece in Nature Climate Change about the potential conservation implications of climate-induced divergence of song. This may occur more often under a rapidly changing climate & cause greater isolation between popns. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As the countdown begins, we are excited to start welcoming participants for NSAB 2025 at IISER Mohali Here's to an excellent line-up of women speakers at the symposium 🥂 Happy International Women's Day! ❤️

On #WorldWildlifeDay, in class I talked about conservation heroes from India. From insect to tiger conservation, regenerating rainforests to bringing bk grassland birds from the brink of extinction & mitigating human wildlife conflict. #IndianEcologists 🦚🐵🌳🐠🐸🐅🐝🐺🦇🦋🐘🦗

🎉CONGRATULATIONS🥂 to Lucy Westover on publishing her 🥇 paper in @royalsocietypublishing.org. Celebrating #ECR success is GREAT. @bristolbiosci.bsky.social #fieldwork #experiment #predation #noise #mongooses #vigilance #behaviour #ECR #Masters #OpenAccess so please share: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

Reminder that there is a special issue in #AnimalBehaviourJournal based on the theme of #ASABWinter2024 : Addressing Biases in Animal Behaviour ! You don’t need an invite, but do feel free to send an email to check that your topic is fits 😄📧 Due by June 13 www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

We have a fully funded International 4-year position (combined Master of Research+PhD) to study visual navigation in jumping spiders. Project will be supervised by @pipilika.bsky.social, @mherberstein.bsky.social, @dinrao.bsky.social & Ximena Nelson. At Macquarie University, Sydney. Details below

Are you PhD student or Postdoc working in the field of Neuroethology? Then apply as a speaker for the Webinar Series 'The Future Of Neuroethology'

Each January, @asab.org journal Animal Behaviour publishes its 'Guidelines for the ethical treatment of nonhuman animals in behavioural research and teaching': www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Please read and implement. #AnimalEthics #AnimalBehaviour

We are excited to announce that the winner of this year’s #BiologyLetters #ECR Competition is Jose Borrero. Read "Weighting of sensory cues reflect changing patterns of visual investment during ecological divergence in Heliconius butterflies" here: ow.ly/UqYc50UCnVU @borreroja.bsky.social

Farewell 2024; Be kind 2025 and bring peace. Happy new year everyone! ✨️❤️✨️

Yay, our AQI has improved. It is now "poor". 😬

When I will respond to your email

On what would have been high energy physicist Rohini Godbole's 72nd birthday, we publish this tribute to her, featuring details of her scientific work⚛️recollections of her collaborators💭friends and admirers❤️‍🩹

Happy bday Salim Ali, the birdman of India. Every yr we celebrate this day by introducing birding to someone who has never birded before. This yr I am thrilled to announce that the 6th National Symposium on Avian Biology will be at IISER Mohali 10-12 Mar '25. Mark your calendars, pack your binocs.
