Getting ready to depart Mexico - next science adventure is Antarctica in a few weeks. For now, here are a few extra special guys from the deep sea net tows in Gulf of California. #zooplankton #oceanography #christmasatsea 🌊❤️

#DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #DogTraining #DogTrainer #Communication #AnimalTraining #Buttons #TalkingDogs Here is a list of all the serious ppI I know of who taught their dog to press buttons to communicate Some have been in the animal training industry for a few years, others decades. Follow their work.

#DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #GoldenRetriever #DogBehaviour #DogBite #AlwaysTouchStrangeDogs #WhatCouldGoWrong It's your right, as a human, to touch any dog you please. Encourage your kids and grandkids to touch strange dogs.

This is...concerning. If after 4 years they don't know, I'd question whether they are a dog trainer at all. YIKES! Quick reminder, anyone, and I do mean anyone, can call themself a dog trainer. And charge handsomely. #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #PuppyTraining #Puppies #DogTraining #DogTrainer?

Ignore previous post. *Here* is Xenophon's list of names for hunting dogs: {Psukhe} = Soul {Thumos} = Spirit {Porpax} = Hasp of shield {Sturax} = Spike of spear at the butt end {Logkhe} = Lance {Lokhos} = Ambush, or "Company" {Phroura} = Watch 1/n

#DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #Horses #Hikers #DogTraining #HorseTraining #Recall #Heel Much respect to the horse rider and hiker. Both were responsible in keeping their dogs away from each other. I'd like to think this is not staged.

Lovely encounter this morning with this elegant gentleman. Look at those big horns 🐐!

My quote of the day In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. Stephen Jay Gould

1/3 Self-awareness prior to the mirror test. It has been three days since this fish passed the mirror test in Masanori Kohda's laboratory in Osaka. It is now experimenting with reflections, grabbing and lifting pieces of shrimp before watching closely as they fall into the mirror.

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

Hagfish defend themselves in two ways: they have loose skin that is hard to grab on to & well... MASSIVE SLIME ATTACK. They produce copious amounts of thick mucus from glands when threatened. This material overwhelms touch sensors & can even lethally clog gills. A tiny hagfish can kill a shark.

Good morning only to this beautiful baby gang-gang cockatoo 🤣

#AlwaysTouchStrangeDogs It is your right as a human to touch dogs. Yours or not. You should encourage your kids/grandkids to do the same. The tagline to this video is incorrect. I'm not talking about the spelling. #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #Chihuahua #CanineBehaviour #DogBehaviour #DogBite

#RandyHare once followed the practice of escape/avoidance based training He evolved like SO many others to not ignore the importance and benefit of shaping behaviours via R+ He's also not, in any way, ignorant of the limits of positive reinforcement #DogsOfBlueSky #DogTraining #CanineBehaviour #Dogs

Hmmmm. Behaviour is contextual. Yes, allow to growl in certain circumstances. Don't allow the growl in others. It's not black and white. Best know your dog. #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #Growling #CanineBehaviour #DogBehaviour #DogTraining #CanineCommunication

Here is a Youtube video describing our new research. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rWG...

1/4 Positive and negative moods in cockroaches Cockroaches change their mood depending on recent experiences: they become more pessimistic after exposure to light and more optimistic after perceiving an attractive smell. (preprint) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage. Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word. A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Yeah, I'm with you lil buddy. About turn. Smart move. #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #Cats #CanineBehaviour #DogBehaviour

Recording of a talk on "Sensory Horizons and Visual Consciousness in Non-human Animals" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Pz...) at the University of Michigan. Based on the recent BBS paper on sensory horizons and consciousness w/ @smfleming.bsky.social.

New paper out today w @dalmaijer.bsky.social @barbaraklump.bsky.social and @lucymaplin.bsky.social as part of the Phil Trans special issue doi.org/10.1098/rstb.... Over 2 years, we studied a population of cockatoos thought to be the source of the innovation of bin-opening.

Grim. Scientifically illiterate, and the techniques they are selling will be largely ineffective anyway. See my book, Control: the Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics.
