You can find a discussion that captivity effects bear thinking about and can even be used to do better science in the Terzolas Manifesto - preprint here: osf.io/preprints/os... let's start a new era of behavior research!

These behavioral changes are linked to profound changes in gene expression after as little as one month in captivity as this paper by @labdavalos.bsky.social using the same shrews shows doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

Shrews loose their motivation for reward, which could be mistaken for cognitive impairment and run excessively, confounding the effects of the actual study about effects of brain size changes. @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @animaltracking.bsky.social 2/🧵
