This paper is the culmination of years of rigorous ideas and thought with @DamienFarine and @MegCrofoot, and is my favorite piece I have worked on to date (and my 1st PhD chapter!). Let's make the field of collective behavior a more predictive science using classical theories!
My first PhD chapter is out as a preprint!🎉 Investigating white-nosed coatis, we collared entire groups and uncovered a fascinating pattern: consistent subgrouping with close relatives!📚
My dad (Robert H. Davis) just got ranked as a CU Distinguished Professor, the highest honor awarded to faculty. I am unbelievably proud and in awe of the example he sets for teaching and research https://t.co/bBeMV0T3EO @CUBoulder@CUEngineering

Using optimal foraging theory to infer how groups make collective decisions

@howbrainsevolve @DamienFarine @MegCrofoot Certainly of interest- thank you for sharing! Baboons are a great study species for these types of group foraging questions- taking a look now

new article alert!! exciting and innovative research showing how optimal foraging theory can be used to predict how groups coordinate collective decisions. Bonus points that authors @GraceHDavis and @MegCrofoot are two of my very favorite primates 🙈
Again & again,& again & again.
Why is it always the young and professionally vulnerable taking risks to protect the younger and more vulnerable?
Time for senior academics to stop being *such cowards*--we are all complicit when we allow our colleagues to behave like this.
