In the cities, male sparrows do it all - The Wildlife Society

“only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us,” Pema Chodron (requoted in context here themarginalian.org/2023/02/0…)

Latest paper from my PhD just came out in @JExpZoo_A and the ~long story short~ is that the intensity of chronic stress in HOSP affects neophobia but not total activity (ps this is a sneak peak of my upcoming @SICB_ @SICB_DCE presentation!!) doi.org/10.1002/jez.2752

It was a fun challenge to write about what I see as the most interesting and important advances in the field of animal behavior in the last 20 years and where it’s going—in ~1200 words with ~10 references. Apologies to the many great ideas and studies I missed!

Animal behavior is notoriously complex. @GailPatricelli looks at how technological advances in #BehavioralEcology have enabled the study of variability over space and time, allowing a more holistic view of this complexity. plos.io/3qOqDyw
