Pheasants' heads cool rapidly as they prepare to fight – then heat up afterwards, new #research shows.

Paper out today in @RSocPublishing

We used thermal cameras to investigate thermographic changes during aggression among captive pheasants

Enjoying with colleagues and students, I'd say at the best location with amazing views over city, sea and parks, and animal friendly food (all vegan)

A little bit late, but… 3 years of hard work paid off. Such a lovely graduation ceremony, and even more humbled to be presented with an award from @UFAW_1926! Reflecting on the last 3 years @PlymUni with @PlymAnimBehav - I’m so thankful I chose this university…

[Plymouth Animal Behaviour Group @PlymAnimBehav]

@RoyNewport2 @MarkAWhiteside @K_Herborn @GullsEyeProject @plymouthbiol Seems like gull field research can inspire art - I'd say we would enjoy a talk with drawings!
