Lucky to have spent a couple of hours with this Tamandua the other day. They have a unique grace in moving through dense foliage, fascinating to watch

Lucky to be a part of an inspiring symposium on mechanisms of collective behaviour in Kolkata! Shared our work on oceanic collective behaviour, including specific work on collective behaviour in blue whales and krill across nested oceanic scales @asab.org @behaviour2025.bsky.social

With the 2025 UN Ocean Conference approaching & the High Seas Treaty poised for ratification, there is a need & opportunity for collective science action to inform global ocean protections. Our preprint explores collective science for ocean biodiversity data & conservation: tinyurl.com/4cu987ea

Fresh start on bsky, looking to share science, but also other beautiful things here. Starting with a Pacific gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer). Photo taken March 28, 2021 in Fort Ord National Monument, Marina, CA, USA.
