🚨 Calling all dog behavior & cognition researchers - ManyDogs Project is launching ManyDogs 2!
🔍🐕🦺We're studying overimitation: Do dogs copy irrelevant actions just b/c their favorite human does them?
Email manydogsproject2@gmail.com to collaborate globally and contribute to reproducible science!

@manygoatsproject.bsky.social is on blue sky. Give us a follow if you are interested in goats or general livestock welfare research

A great talk #ASABWinter2024 to promote open science practices
Afternoon plenary by @anticac.bsky.social on biases and poor practices in science. A shocking amount of research is wasted. Some fantastic recommendations to increase quality, openness and transparency. Don’t forget to check each other’s code!!! 💻👀💥 #ASABWinter2024

Looking forward to this, check out our poster on whether there is analysis bias in zoo research
The program for #ASABWinter2024 is online at asabwinter2024.github.io !
❄️4 plenaries, 22 talks, 66 posters, 15 virtual posters, a panel discussion, LGBTQIA+ networking, a mentor meet & greet and the ASAB AGM. We could not be more excited! ❄️

The diet of free-ranging cats varies between continents.
Cats prey most frequently on birds in Europe and North America, while predation on mammals is greatest in Australia. Paper in @ecography.bsky.social: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #bioinvasion #InvasiveSpecies

We are removing the largest and longest-lived animals, which can be detrimental to those species dependent on migration, sociality, and cultural transmission to survive. Paper in Science by @kellerfish.bsky.social et al.: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I’m a little sleepy 😴 this morning after staying up last night (UK time) to watch the Animal Welfare Science Centre Research Showcase 2024. It was worth it to catch @drmiacobb.bsky.social talk on canine “stress” indicators.
