Making the most of the weekends in Vancouver visiting UBC with some weekend boulders in perfect Squamish : )

The brains and social lives of animals shape predator-prey interactions. We explore the extent of this relationship in our 2024 @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social review.

The Predatory Intelligence Hypothesis. Happy to share this new preprint about how predator-prey interactions drive cognitive evolution and maintain cognitive variation.

How do humans alter predator-prey temporal overlap across the globe? Come find out Wednesday 2pm room M4 in the Ecology and behaviour (predators) session

I'll be at @iccb2025.bsky.social in a few weeks talking about a meta-analysis of how human disturbance alters predator-prey temporal niche partitioning.

Lets catch up if you're around!

Australia's recently established predators (since the LP) are entirely functionally novel. Read more in our recent paper in

Animal cognition and culture shape predator-prey interactions and their effects on ecosystems.

From earlier this year in Trends in Ecology & Evolution

Over 130,000 years Australia's predator community has been radically reorganised, what does this mean for ecological function and food webs? In @currentbiology.bsky.social, we show that modern food webs resemble those of the Late Pleistocene, but only when dingoes are present.
