Who shot the cheetah kittens? I remember having this thought fifteen years ago when visiting the Field Museum. I understood the rationale for taking specimens for science, but still—look at those little faces. Who could make specimens of them?

Turns out there's an answer. (CW: animal death) 🧵🧪

Know anyone looking for a PhD? Like phylogenies and R programming? Think behaviour is really neat?

A nature conservation paradox: Invasive species are often threatened in their native habitat
Non-native species introduced by humans are among the main causes of global species decline—they were partly responsible for 60% of the species that have become extinct worldwide in recent decades. No...

We compared 2080 songs from 72 individual black-capped and mountain #chickadee in sympatry and allopatry. Sympatric mountain chickadee song differs markedly from all other populations, consistent with character displacement theory

Chickadees sing different songs in sympatry versus allopatry
Abstract. Character displacement theory predicts that closely-related co-occurring species should diverge in relevant traits to reduce costly interspecific

How animal culture affects evolution.

I very much enjoyed working with Anne Odling-Smee at Design Science to produce these videos.

The Economist covered our "Strain on scientific publishing" paper.

What is this all about?

We collectively churn out more & more papers *per scientist*, an increasing pace, in a rapidly changing publication landscape.

Why? How? Want to make sense of this? 🧵

I haven't seen any starter packs made for behavioral ecology yet, so I decided to create one!

If you are a behavioral ecologist (any career stage), please reply so I can add you to the list so we can more easily find each other.

Loss of Earth’s old, wise, and large animals
Earth’s old animals are in decline. Despite this, emerging research is revealing the vital contributions of older individuals to cultural transmission, population dynamics, and ecosystem processes and...
