Asking for another friend... #unsupervised @pec_exeter

[Christine Beardsworth @DrCBeardsworth]

What would you advise for two delegates that may have left their posters behind? Any print services in the uni that might be open? Asking for a friend... 😭 @asab2019summer

After years of diligent research, we can finally #UnscienceAnAnimal the #pheasant

What happens when day old chicks huddle? Who gets the hot-spots? @PipLaker and I are using @flir thermography to try and find out. #HotChicks

[pip laker @PipLaker]

@MarkAWhiteside @flir @pec_exeter @CrabExeter A gap has now appeared, hot-spot available for takers #thermochicks

Thanks @AvelingArtworks for our wicked pillow bringing a bit of style and colour!

Pheasants That Favour One Foot Die Younger via @IFLScience: @MarkAWhiteside @pec_exeter https://t.co/JGd0uioVYx

New #OA @SciReports Paper:

One foot in the grave for pheasants that favour a side. More strongly limb-biased (footed) pheasants survive less well. Evidence for stabilizing selection on lateralization

POTENTIAL POST DOC AVAILABLE

Thanks to Brexit and plummeting ££ I PROBABLY have money for a 1 yr postdoc on cognition & ecology of pheasants from Oct 2018. This is unplanned and short notice so please contact me ASAP (DM me for phone number) to discuss prelim ideas

@pec_exeter defies all expectations with their most recent ground breaking publication on Learning and Memory in Pheasants!

Can associative learning ability explain performances on test batteries that are designed to assess General Intelligence (g)?

New paper by @pec_exeter in Intelligence: https://t.co/GvkiW2dduV

[Pheasants@Exeter @pec_exeter]

4 keywords not usually seen together
General Intelligence, Cognition, Test battery, Pheasant

...for a good reason. You CAN extract 'g' for pheasants (9 tasks 28-35% variance explained)

BUT v. dependent on tests and test variants (70/84 combins = no 'g')

Do pheasants have general intelligence...? New paper out @Jayden_vanHorik @pec_exeter @EllisJGLangley @MarkAWhiteside https://t.co/3GCkHxHoXY

[pip laker @PipLaker]

@EllisJGLangley @CrabExeter @CaitlinSearle12 @pec_exeter Amazing effort from an awesome person!

[pip laker @PipLaker]

A great experience and project to be part of! Thanks and congrats to @rjpheathcote1 and team #guppies https://t.co/MQu1MoSk68 https://t.co/v39ycZyGSO

[Rob Heathcote @rjpheathcote]

Our new paper in @CurrentBiology shows that guppies use their eye colour to honestly signal aggressive motivation to one another. Really fun project with some great collaborators and research assistants @DarrenPCroft @UofE_Research @hanmacgregor @PipLaker @Lewis_N_Jones

@Dwarf_Mongoose @AmyMorrisDrake @ChristensenChaz @Anna_B09 @katie_rapson_ @Harryfsuter @MeganShersby So cool, little legends! I bet they monitor us too...

[pip laker @PipLaker]

@RobThomas14 @ASABEaster2018 Thank you Rob, yay pheasants!
