A stunning bird’s-eye view of four sharks and their schooling prey has been announced as the overall winner of the @RSocPublishing Photography Competition 2024, run in association with @The_RPS. The hunt from above, from the behaviour category, is by Dr Angela Albi, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour, who studies the predator-prey interactions of sharks and schools of fish.

RELab - an expedition into the multifarious world of animal behaviour, where the lab meets the wild takes place now! 30 participants from around the globe came to @unikonstanz @MPI_animalbehav to join ReLab, a unique experimental workshop in the scenic location of Lake #Konstanz.

The shark team (Angela, Inga, August & Luke) in drone-control posture. Three drones in the air filming the final shark—fish school interactions for today. ⁦@CBehav⁩ ⁦@maxplanckpress⁩ ⁦ #Maldives #sharks

It’s going great. We are in @diamonds_athu and see a lot of daily shark action. This year we also collect underwater footage in this crystal clear water. Team shark thanks Inga Dehnert from @MaRHECenter for the incredible opportunity to be here.

Back to the Maldives for our second field season following fish and sharks 🦈 Thanks to @UniKonstanz and @MPI_animalbehav for supporting us and @MaRHECenter for the awesome facility and team! Soon more from the shark team with @icouzin @AugustPala @po7ooo and Luke Costello

@kavskannan Yes, apparently dancing scout bees are important for the colony to decide where to nest. https://t.co/4KR2oBaCc9

🌟 Exciting times at the 4th workshop in Ghent, Belgium! This a fantastic opportunity to delve into the realms of Machine Learning and Reservoir Computing. A big shoutout to @imec_int and @JoniDambre for hosting this incredible event. #MLWorkshop #ReservoirComputing

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In our new @Nature paper, Darrin Schultz @conchoecia used the position of genes on chromosomes to show that ctenophores (comb jellies) not sponges are the sister-group to all other animals. https://t.co/LCSHC1AbRu

[August @AugustPala]

I'm grateful to be a part of this excellent training network! Looking forward to seeing all of you soon in Gent.

From a drone or from a GoPro, baby black tip reef sharks always look great 🦈
Sorting our field data and video material is extremely inspiring! @icouzin @AugustPala Luke Costello @MPI_animalbehav

[August @AugustPala]

We hope to see our favourite sharks soon again!

[Angela Albi @albi_angela]

Time to say goodbye to these beautiful fish schools and iconic shores. Thanks to all the great people that were part of this project! @icouzin @AugustPala Luke Costello @MPI_animalbehav @Luca10in2010 Inga Dehnert and the @MaRHECenter

[August @AugustPala]

Today is our last day in The Maldives, and we had an incredible time studying baby blacktip reef sharks preying on huge schools of fish with @icouzin, @albi_angela , Luke. Thanks to Inge, @Luca10in2010 , @MaRHECenter and all other amazing people we met. 🦈🐟🌊 @MPI_animalbehav

@PMinasandra @zotero I use the iOS app, and it does a great job.
