Zoos can improve human health and connection to nature, according to new research by @pauledwardrose @CrabExeter @exeterpsych @UniofExeter @_UoW

Numerous studies have shown that spending time outside in the natural world boosts our physical and mental health

[Becky Padget @beckyfbpadget]

Excited to share our (w/ @DardenSafi & Tim Fawcett) paper on guppy cooperation out today in @RSocPublishing Proc B! We tested the effect of group size on predator inspection and found (unexpectedly) that individuals in bigger groups cooperated more! 🐟 https://t.co/QmUhNfjTYv

[University of Exeter News @UniofExeterNews]

New research by Dr @pauledwardrose of @CrabExeter advocates for evidence-based #animalwelfare and measurement of the positive mental and emotional states of zoo animals in order for them to be physically and behaviourally healthy 🦒 Read more: https://t.co/wHYd3xZlqG

How do animal courtship displays evolve? New paper https://t.co/JSdiYswbmY started life as a student research project by Irene García-Ruiz @RedSnow1984 on our MSc Animal Behaviour course https://t.co/UBB4MxC8o4. Delighted to see it in print now!

[Stuart Semple @SempleScience]

Male but not female killer whales place significant reproductive costs on mothers. This burden is not due to costs of lactation and does not reduce as sons get older. More brilliant life-history work by @CetaceanMike @DarrenPCroft @CWROrcas and others.

[🐬Michael Weiss🐋 @CetaceanMike]

🚨New paper alert!🚨
We've known for a decade that killer whale moms keep their adult sons alive. But how does this impact the moms? Turns out, quite a lot! Read more here (OA)
