From bio-logging to conservation 🔽 New paper by an @animaltracking.bsky.social dream team @diegoellissoto.bsky.social @anflack.bsky.social @arispeshkin.bsky.social Timm Wild, Hannah Williams, @teagueo.bsky.social @cbehav.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Waving our hands in the air like we don’t care #mpiab #summer #konstanz #maxplanckinstitut #love

If there is an optimal behavior, why is there so much variation in the world? We found that, for white storks, context is everything. @anflack.bsky.social @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social New paper! @cellpress.bsky.social doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2025.06.044 🧵1/5

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 Excited to share our new review in @royalsocietypublishing.org Proceedings B! 🎉 We synthesize research on social factors influencing animal migration and offer guidelines for future research. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #OpenAccess #Migration #MovementEcology

(4) developing educational programs and ethical guidelines tailored to the unique challenges of biologging research

(3) demanding industry standards for biologging devices to ensure reliability and minimize harm

(2) implementing pre-registration as well as post-reporting of studies and devices to reduce publication bias and improve transparency

(1) establishing a biologging expert registry to enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing

Preprint @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social arising from @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social animal welfare workshops. How can we develop a better error culture in animal biologging where we can learn from our, and others, mistakes and experiences? ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

🚨Shrew paper alert!🚨 In @elife.bsky.social, in this paper led by @labdavalos.bsky.social we found that shrews reprogram their hypothalamus to shrink in winter, tweaking gene expression to save energy and survive the cold! 👉🏼 doi.org/10.7554/eLif... @dechman.bsky.social @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Crossing our fingers for the results World Illustration Awards. We think Javi should win with the commissioned orangutan illo, and we're not biased.

Heads up animal behavior researchers! Amazing opportunity: 3 3-year independent postdoctoral fellowships based in Panama at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Deadline July 15. Come collaborate with @livingingroups @MPI_animalbehav...

Icarus Birds – just posted on the EOU noticeboard, an opportunity to collaborate in tracking common birds to understand where, how, and why they die – see eounion.org/latest-news/... #ornithology

ICARUS BIRDS Where, how, and why do birds die? We are launching the ICARUS BIRDS project to find out! Join us in tracking common birds across Europe to uncover the factors behind their decline. Learn more on our website: www.ab.mpg.de/icarus

Almost all scientific research is done with lab animals. Surprisingly, there is barely any literature on how captivity may affect the results. And these effects can be profound. In shrews, remind us of depression as the paper published by @cecibaldoni.bsky.social shows doi.org/10.1098/rsos... 1/🧵

We are hiring! We look for a person with programming skills in R and/or Python. Application deadline is March 14th 2025. All details here: www.ab.mpg.de/654153/job_f...

Just when we thought we couldn’t love #bats any more, there’s this: storm-surfing bats! 🦇😀❤️New research shows migrating bats hitch rides on stormy tailwinds to save energy, covering hundreds of kms in a single night! 🦇 @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @unikonstanz.bsky.social

tadaa- second paper of the year out! This time on shrews and how quickly and massively they are affected by captivity. Congrats to the junior student who is the first author on this awesome paper: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... @animaltracking.bsky.social @unikonstanz.bsky.social @labdavalos.bsky.social

how about starting the new year with a @science.org paper? Congrats Edward Hurme and other coauthors, this makes me incredibly happy 🦇💨

We are honored to be among the winners!

We’re sad the #ASABWinter2024 conference is over, but you can easily follow all of the brilliant speakers, chairs and organizers at go.bsky.app/QbM8rWb If you spoke at the conference and you just joined bluesky or we missed adding you, let us know so we can add you!

🚨JOB 🚨Would a title "Professor of Life History Evolution" suit you? If yes... Become a colleague of us here in Mainz! I am happy to provide more information if this intrigues you. cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de/karriere/wp-...

Our #shrews are on The Scientist! Pretty exciting, have a look! 🎉😎 @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @animaltracking.bsky.social @batichica.bsky.social

This took some time, but what a bat, what a social org, and what an amazing team of collaborators! @animaltracking.bsky.social Consistent long-distance foraging flights across years and seasons at colony level in a neotropical bat: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

No. What happens in Doñana DOES NOT STAY in Doñana. After more than two years of work, we’ve published an article demonstrating that the poor condition of Doñana negatively affects waterbirds across the ENTIRE continent! Thread below! 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If this is an enticing line of research, or even if you're just a maphead, I can't recommend enough Cheshire and Uberti's Where the Animals Go. www.oliveruberti.com/where-the-an...

How @animaltracking.bsky.social plans to track animals with Icarus to create the Internet of Animals and be able to study not just how/if they react to geological phenomena, but also monitor disease spread and find out many other cool things from their movement: www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

I have created my first starter pack!!!! It focuses on movement ecology as a scientific discipline. If we reach 150 members I will create Movement Ecology II. go.bsky.app/F4ZLXcx

Vlt. besteht das wichtigste transformative Prinzip, das wir von der kollektiven Intelligenz der Tiere übernehmen müssen und das den meisten indigenen Kulturen bereits seit Langem bekannt ist, in der Grundannahme, dass sämtliches Leben auf der Erde miteinander in Zusammenhang steht. bit.ly/4fT4F1i

Great team effort yesterday. First step of building a stork trap. Team (trap) building in the cold with Anumit Saralkar, @atharva-andhare.bsky.social and Clement Berthelot.

Hello ornithologists !! 🪶🦉 I begin to create a starter pack to make a reunion of all the scientists and researchers on birds ! (and more !) Feel free to share it and dm me if you want to be add it in ^^ go.bsky.app/Azx5tt2

Could we be able to predict earthquakes based on data of our pets' behavior?!? Illustration for a fascinating collaboration between Tractive an the MPI of Animal Behavior. More info in Alt text. #SciArt @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @animaltracking.bsky.social

Great starter pack to connect with fantastic folks

4, 3, 2, 1, ... Only a few more days left to apply to our PhD positions 🏁

We followed the herd and made it over here. Expect more to come about animal movements around the world. 📷Christian Ziegler
