Invasive hornets are a problem as they can cause defenseless honeybee colonies to collapse 💀 According to Thomas O'Shea–Wheller, humans are not great at making correct IDs. With over 99% accuracy, it looks like deep learning might save the day for monitoring 🐝🤖 #ASABSpring2024
I am excited to have made several inspiring connections at #ASABSpring2024-- what a thoroughly enjoyable conference. Many thanks to the organisers and to @asab_org for the travel grant that made my attendance possible!
It’s been a wonderful few days at #ASABSpring2024. Please everyone thank the organisers @Samellisq, @AndyDHigginson, @ljnbrent & @laleaver1 for putting on such a great conference, and @CrabExeter for hosting 🦀. Huge thank you as well to the team of volunteers!

We had a very successful conference for keeping to time! It turns out if you offer chocolate for finishing under 12 minutes, it really promotes timeliness. Hot tip for you other conference organisers out there 😉 #ASABSpring2024
Such an honor to have had the wonderful opportunity to present at #ASABSpring2024! Thank you to the amazing organizers and audience for many insightful questions. Hoping to have advocated termite studies!
Terrific termite talk by Christopher Barnard Award winner @nobuakiMZMT. Termites are a great group for studying collective behaviour (plus, they’re really squishy and juicy)! Turns out collective phenomena that appear similar may be more diverse than we assume🪳#ASABSpring2024
A lovely couple days in Exeter for #ASABSpring2024 🐸 big thanks to ASAB for the travel grant and to everyone for all the interesting talks and conversations!!
The first set of flash talks by @MarwaKavelaars, @Ari_Drummond, Özge Kilic, @KathrynBullough, Rachel John and @JosieMcpherson0 🎣🦀🪳🐟🐳🐸 Don’t forget you can find them at their posters if you have any questions! #ASABSpring2024
We had some truly fantastic talks, but let’s not forget all of the hard work put into the posters of #ASABSpring2024. Congrats to poster winner @AwaniBapat and honourable mentions @Ari_Drummond, Katie Crawford & Roxy Holmes! 👏🏻
Last talk of #ASABSpring2024 by @FR_McCully on coordinated parental care, where costs of parental care are more evenly distributed. She looked at how black-legged kittwakes coordinated care in the short- and long-term at “The Arctic’s creepiest soviet ghost town.”
How do cooperative breeders decide whether to invest or exploit the “public good”? It seems that relatives are the most likely to be exploiters, says @collectiveEcol. It makes sense, we all have cousins like that… #ASABSpring2024
Menopause not only occurs in humans, but also several species of whales. And it’s a mystery why it exists! Charli Grimes’ research in killer whales indicates that postreproductive females reduce injury in their male offspring (but not their grand-offspring) #ASABSpring2024
Sea lion offspring engage in “super suckling” when they’re still nursing past typical weaning age. According to @alexkchilds, this behaviour is not as uncommon as you might think! 🦭
(“Spaghetti” the pup definitely makes this the cutest slide of the last day of #ASABSpring2024)
Psychedelic art or a model of the coevolution of predatory-prey movement strategies? This cool work by @ChristophNetz shows that as a result of movement strategy evolution there can be rapid changes and alternative stable states #ASABSpring2024
Long-term monitoring at zoos can be challenging due to limited time and resources. New AI technology is being trialed by @njd_walsh to address this problem! Some hiccups (such as mixing up lion tails with ostrich heads), but it looks promising 🤖 #ASABSpring2024

Fiddler crabs wave as a sexual signal (hey girl, heeeeyy). @joeawilde & colleagues made the “Wavey Dave” robot to see if other crabs could flexibly adjust their signalling in response 🦀 #ASABSpring2024

Keep your eyes open 👀 There’s a new UKRI policy on research and innovation involving animals coming out in the next few weeks! #ASABSpring2024
The last set of flash talks by @RohanJoglekar7, Kingsley Hunt, Thomas MacGillavry, @erik_versluijs & @Apolda8 🪳🐦⬛🐄🐐🪶Again, you can find them at their posters if you have any questions! #ASABSpring2024
Good people at #ASABSpring2024, I am advertising a fully funded PhD studentship on perceptual processing during mate choice in 🐟. More details here: https://t.co/jDU4eYbBM2
