🚨🥳 New paper alert! Evidence of sensory integration of predator cues by California ground #squirrels. Field experiments by me, @CECarmin & others on
#TeamSquirrel document fear of a "quiet coyote" is modulated by levels of human disturbance royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
Squirrels strongly avoid coyote urine (a danger cue) in the absence of coyote calls, indicating coyote silent hunting behaviour and highlighting the consideration of multiple cues by prey: ow.ly/e2hq50Q2484 #ProcB @JennSmithSocBeh @CECarmin

After many hours of sitting in a field staring at squirrels, the fruit of that labor is published! Part of my dissertation work with @JennSmithSocBeh exploring the intersection of space use and social behavior is out now in Animal Behaviour, open to all!

Many have recently claimed that wolves are decimating the deer population and destroying deer hunting and we need to kill wolves ASAP to turn things around.
Below is a deep dive into the data on wolves, deer, and deer hunting in our area and northeastern Minnesota

Another incredible study on the social lives of Amboseli baboons! Takeaways: 1. Sex differences in grooming emerge at a young age. 2. Strong, equitable mother-daughter relationships begin very early in life. & 3. Age at first grooming is heritable and shaped by selection.🥳🧬🫂🐒
What determines how and when social behaviours emerge? Evidence for environmental, sex-specific and genetic determinants in wild baboons: ow.ly/Xz8150Q9NlQ #ProcB @liz_c_lange
