@thevirdas Cool! I am so glad to see "The Potato Eaters" . One of my favourites.

@MonkeyologistB Congrats !

A day at a waterhole:
On a blazing day in the grasslands, a pipeline leakage becomes a lifeline for all: The wild, feral, and the humans. A kind reminder that we are part of the same ecosystem, which we should conserve - for all of us.

Awesome finale that @JTKerby's image made the @AnimalEcology cover in support of our method using drones to study animals in their natural social and physical landscapes! @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin great team!

[Adwait Deshpande @adwait_d]

@ArjDheer @IZWberlin @HyenaProject @InsideNatGeo @HyaenaSG Congratulations!

Into the wild... 🐺: With the advent of cutting edge technology, @adwait_d from @MPI_animalbehav and @CBehav @UniKonstanz begun the groundwork to study the collective behaviour of Indian Grey #Wolves @tgtrustindia using #drones and #AI tools.

@rahulpandita Well-crafted article! A must-read! Gives a brief overview of the current situation in both proximate and historical contexts! Thanks for writing! I would appreciate it if you could suggest a book on the topic to understand this Punjab situation in depth?

@AnimalEcology @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin The incredible gelada pictures are by our co-author @JTKerby !

More amazing content from this study! The video highlights different scales at which authors quantified individuals in a zebra herd, from large scale movements to fine scale individual animal posture, in a social context.@ben_kogerv @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin

[Journal of Animal Ecology @AnimalEcology]

Consumer drones and machine learning enables research of group living animals, from zebras to gelada monkeys, in their natural social and environmental context at sub-meter and sub-second resolution. @ben_koger @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin

I am very happy to have this method out in @AnimalEcology! Congrats to @Ben_Koger and all our co-authors! We developed this approach to facilitate studies of #collectivebehavior in wild populations, for systems & questions that are hard to address using existing methods.

[Ben Koger @ben_koger]

Out now in @AnimalEcology! A general approach for using drones to study animal behavior in the wild. Record the location and posture of many animals simultaneously at sub-second sub-meter resolution, plus reconstruct their 3D landscape: https://t.co/2u4jtEzha2

🚨 Do vervet monkeys have context-dependent alarm responses? New study by @adwait_d, Erica van de Waal, and Klaus Zuberbühler using field experiments to test how vervet monkeys react to alarm calls produced in intergroup vs. non-intergroup situations: https://t.co/uTxbsLeLti

The Grey wolf is the most widespread carnivore in the world. “Adaptive” is a word that gets more associated with leopards but we tend to overlook how adaptive the wolves are.

@Bidisha_02 @pili_scotland @SemplePrimate @AcademicChatter That is a super interesting thing to investigate.
