Does language have to be a barrier for academic conferences?

If you think that we can do things better, join our workshop at #Behaviour2025 and fill out this short survey - we'd love to hear your experiences and ideas!

Excited (& a bit terrified) to officially share our #R #package with the world 🤩 swaRmverse provides a pipeline to analyze #collective #motion #data, promoting more comparative work across the Swarm-Verse 🐐🦬🐦🐒🐟 🦖🐑🕸️
With @sjmgarnier @SHOALgroup 🙏
A big thanks to @oikosjournal.bsky.social for choosing a picture of our mice as the cover of this month's issue!

Think bold animals are the best problem-solvers? Think again. 🐭
New research shows shy mice are more persistent—and that makes all the difference.

🔍 Innovation is about showing up, not just being brave.

Using mice who live in semi-natural enclosures, we show how different behavioural types approach novel problems differently, and how -even the same individuals- perform differently when the conditions change!
Hello Bluesky! Beyond excited to share my first post here about our new paper on wild house mouse 🐭problem-solving with Anja Guenther and Valeria Mazza, published open access in @oikosjournal.bsky.social !
