Here comes a new paper! and a great summary by @keesvanoers.bsky.social
Happy to share the latest paper of @utkurhan.bsky.social
In one of the Corona years one of our MSc students had the idea to measure the number of people that used our long-term nest box population of great tits, for recreational activities. (1/3)

My new paper is a contemporary review of animal games (i.e., rule-, role- and reward-based play), and how games can be leveraged in animal behaviour, cognition and welfare research following a recent proposal in humans (Allen et al 2024, Nat Hum Behav)

The first @themanybirds.bsky.social study on neophobia has finally been released as a preprint!
Together with 120+ collaborators, we studied avoidance behavior in 136 bird species, revealing both phylogenetic and ecological signatures.
Very proud to be involved!
