Really proud of this one. Our first study on innovative problem-solving in free-ranging small mammals is fresh off the press of Animal Cognition rdcu.be/eOHl3. We looked at what happens with human disturbance in a protected area...without disturbing our most precious collaborators!

🧪ETHOLOGY: Condition-dependent risk-taking in mice! 🐭💥🍔
Lopez-Hervas et al. show that diet quality and body mass shape mice’s reactions to risk — heavier or better-fed individuals play it safer, supporting the asset-protection hypothesis! Read here, it's #OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1111/eth....
Condition‐Dependent Responses to Risk in a Small Mammal

Think bold animals are the best problem-solvers? Think again. 🐭
New research shows shy mice are more persistent—and that makes all the difference.

🔍 Innovation is about showing up, not just being brave.
