🚨 Calling all dog behavior & cognition researchers - ManyDogs Project is launching ManyDogs 2! 🔍🐕‍🦺We're studying overimitation: Do dogs copy irrelevant actions just b/c their favorite human does them? Email [email protected] to collaborate globally and contribute to reproducible science!

📢📰What is #ManyZoos? Our founders just published a concept paper! 🥳 V. grateful to MZ committee members, mentors, & reviewers & excited for what the future holds! #ZooBiology #AZA #EAZA #WAZA #BIAZA @drelliephants.bsky.social @msfreeman.bsky.social @fayclark.bsky.social @lisapbarrett.bsky.social

@manygoatsproject.bsky.social is on blue sky. Give us a follow if you are interested in goats or general livestock welfare research

A great talk #ASABWinter2024 to promote open science practices

Looking forward to this, check out our poster on whether there is analysis bias in zoo research

The diet of free-ranging cats varies between continents. Cats prey most frequently on birds in Europe and North America, while predation on mammals is greatest in Australia. Paper in @ecography.bsky.social: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #bioinvasion #InvasiveSpecies

We are removing the largest and longest-lived animals, which can be detrimental to those species dependent on migration, sociality, and cultural transmission to survive. Paper in Science by @kellerfish.bsky.social et al.: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I’m a little sleepy 😴 this morning after staying up last night (UK time) to watch the Animal Welfare Science Centre Research Showcase 2024. It was worth it to catch @drmiacobb.bsky.social talk on canine “stress” indicators.
