In this video, starring a Cetti's warbler, I compare the advantages of being resident against being a migrant and the need to consider the geometric mean. 7 seconds too long to add directly to twitter -n so here is the YouTube link.

[Thread] I will now explain our new study about people cooperating with honeyguide birds, using Lego and graphs (and Lego graphs). This study was a great team effort: @honeyguiding @honeyguide @jesvanderwal @jesslund01 + many not on Twitter.

We're looking forward to hearing about how human sociality evolved this afternoon with @DybleMark Just one of the fascinating talks in our School of Life Sciences seminar series #behaviour #evolution

📣New Preprint

In new research done with @DybleMark Nik Chaudhary @davidabann and @DenizSalali we analyse patterns of physical activity amongst BaYaka children in comparison to US and UK children.

What did we see?

Three key observations in the🧵

[Luke Kretschmer @luke_kretschmer]

Delighted to say I passed my Viva with minor corrections. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my supervisors @davidabann @DenizSalali and @DybleMark for their unending support throughout my PhD. Thanks too to my examiners @EvanSluijs and @danny_longman for a great discussion!

[Luke Kretschmer @luke_kretschmer]

🎉 New article out (and first from my PhD)🎉
In this paper, we examined differences in the distribution of physical activity between girls and boys in the multi-national ICAD dataset 🧵https://t.co/sT2bdl3M6v

[UCL_EvoAnthro @UCL_evoanthro]

Many thanks to @GMERC_TZ & @UCL_evoanthro UG and PG students for a fabulous field primatology module. So glad the local (human AND non-human) primate population could accommodate us all! Safe travels to all!

Call for abstracts! Knowledge exchange workshop on Understandin Adolescence, 12th September at @RoyalAnthro!

Looking to hear from researchers from across anthropology (evo/bio/soc/med, etc.) & hoping to catapult into special issue. More info 👇

🎉 New Preprint! 🎉
(And 1st as 1st author)

In work done alongside @davidabann @DybleMark @DenizSalali and #ICAD collaborators we saw that in a multinational sample of 15k children, while boys did more activity on average, they were more unequal. [1/3]

[Rafael Morais Chiaravalloti @R_Chiaravalloti]

Amazed to be part of the group researchers who received this grant. We will use Maths and anthropology to develop our work on unpredictability and sustainable use of natural resources! @DybleMark, @ucl_discovery

New paper out today with Tim Clutton-Brock: “Turnover in male dominance offsets the positive effect of polygyny on within-group relatedness”
https://t.co/UNFmIHEqe5 (1/5)

[Mark Dyble @DybleMark]

Because polygyny is usually associated with short male reproductive tenure, polygynous mating systems will not necessarily lead to the significant increases in average relatedness we might expect then too (5/5)

[Mark Dyble @DybleMark]

In this new paper, we model the effect of male skew and turnover in male dominance on relatedness and show that high turnover in skew can offset (and in some cases completely cancel out) the positive effect of polygyny on within-group relatedness (4/5)
