We’re excited to announce the winning entries of the #RSPPhotoComp 2024! Follow along as we reveal the beautiful winning images of each category. Starting with #Behaviour and overall winner, 'The Hunt from Above' by @albiangela.bsky.social, with the help of drone pilot, @augustpaula.bsky.social.
What a great opportunity to combine science and photography! Glad for this award with @augustpaula.bsky.social and thanks to @icouzin.bsky.social Luke Costello,Tristan Walter at @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social and @unikonstanz.bsky.social
Thanks @rsocpublishing.bsky.social for the great initiative!

1/8 For years, it’s been assumed that when fishes hover in open water, they’re just resting. Our new @pnas.org paper shows otherwise: hovering can double metabolic costs compared to true rest in near-neutrally buoyant fishes. Here’s what we found: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Here is a great summary of work @science.org, with some steamy soundtrack!
Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab (2000 locusts tracked at the same time), VR, and modeling study of locusts:

The behavioral mechanisms governing collective motion in swarming locusts
Collective motion, which is ubiquitous in nature, has traditionally been explained by “self-propelled particle” models from theoretical physics. Here we show, through field, lab, and virtual reality e...
