Join us tomorrow for a round table on ethnicity in academia:)

[Animal Behaviour Live @AnimalBehavLive]

📢 Reminder: Tomorrow 3pm GMT we're hosting the first round table of the year to discuss the role that ethnicity plays in academia with Sharlen Moore @Sharizz , Agaba Amos Waseni, Udita Bansal @bansal_udita and Damian Octavio Elias. Join here: https://t.co/rbOz22DuSA

The group had a Sichuan dinner to celebrate the arrival of the Chinese New Year 🎉. We wish everyone a happy new year of 🐇🐇 🐇 🐇 🐇.

So that’s it – the end of #AnimBehav2023

120 presenters covering the so much animal behaviour. Loads of species, loads of questions, loads of science, free and accessible to all

It’s been great to have you join us for some or part of the marathon event

Loads of folk to thank🧵

🚨New paper🚨 Heatwaves are on the rise due to climate change. How will extreme thermal events shape the future of the world's biodiversity at different warming levels? Check our study out today @Nature https://t.co/qxUbHmETh3

Thank you @WidowWeb for that great plenary! Next up we have a set of amazing tweet talks 🐦🗣️ on Plasticity, chaired by @Lauveri at #AnimBehav2023

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@WidowWeb @CanBlackSci Very interesting 🤩. I'm guessing that size also correlates with other behavioural traits - exploration, general activity? Has this been studied in these spiders?

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@WidowWeb @CanBlackSci Great talk! I had a Q on the link between density and male arrival in the western widows. Are larger males able to detect smaller quantities of pheromones better (something in their physiology maybe)?

[Maydianne Andrade @WidowWeb]

1/15.Hi! I’m Maydianne Andrade! In my evolutionary ecology lab @UtscBiology, we unravel links between sexual selection, behaviour and social context using widow 🕷️. I’m especially interested in how organisms use cues from their environment to predict the future! #AnimBehav2023

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

Our final plenary of #AnimBehav2023 is by @WidowWeb from @UTSC on ‘Control, context and choosiness in widow spiders���️🕸️!

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

I wouldn't mind being one of the baboons in the class! :D

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@KayEsHobbs @asab_tweets @AnimBehSociety And a huge round of applause for all the speakers for their fascinating talks @jqabab_hsl @wlaksaoal1 @langamagi19 @BertilleMohring @AlexCoCastro @krapfpatrick @GergHorvat @SaudiZoologist 👏🏾👏🏾

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

And that’s a warp for the ‘Behavioural plasticity’ session. @KayEsHobbs takes over as chair for the next session on ‘Cognition’ at 09:00 GMT, followed by other amazing sessions at #AnimBehav2023. Very grateful to @asab_tweets and @AnimBehSociety for letting me 🪑 this session

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@SaudiZoologist @NicolaNadeau Great! Thank you for the answer :)

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@GergHorvat Great! Thank you for the answer and looking forward to your results :)

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@krapfpatrick @Mol_Ecol @uniinnsbruck Very cool work :)

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@AlexCoCastro Fantastic work. Thank you for your answer :)

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@langamagi19 Great! Thank you for your answer :)

[Saudi zoologist @SaudiZoologist]

1. #AnimBehav2023 Animals change colour rapidly for different purposes including for camouflage to cope with spatiotemporal changes in their visual habitats. This plasticity varies between populations in some species, but there is limited research on aquatic species.

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

@SaudiZoologist @NicolaNadeau Great talk! I notice that the detectability was similar between black and grey substrates. If so, why do you think they still prefer to spend more time in the black substrate?

[Ebi Antony George @abeeagee]

To end this session of #AnimBehav2023 @SaudiZoologist will discuss how colour🔴🟢🔵 affects behaviour in the Arabian killifish🐟
