Meerkats exhibit a well known tactic, known as sentry behavior, where the meerkat scans for predators on its hind legs. Our research project used a zoo cam to help answer the question, "Does presence of sentry behavior vary with group size?" #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
The classic case of brood parasitism: The Cuckoo bird lays it’s eggs in the nest of a host species and tricks the host to raise it as if it were their own. Here’s the comic strip that I made for my animal behavior project!#uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
My animal behavior group is studying the effect of temperature on mealworm polystyrene consumption. We’re interested in this area because a recent Stanford study showed that mealworms can safely eat toxic plastic additives found in polystyrene #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
This semester we’ve been researching the behaviors of captive pandas. We wanted to see the % of time they spent eating vs % of time they spend doing any other activities at 4 different times of day (1/2)

Did you know that Komodo dragons can reproduce on their own? They don’t need a male to fertilize their eggs, they do it themselves via parthenogenesis! They only do this when female dragons are isolated from any males (1/2) #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior @UConnBehavior
For my @UConnBehavior group project, we looked at cat vocalization frequencies based on whether humans or other cats were present to see changes in meows and growls. Check out this screen shot from one of our cams! https://t.co/CBkEaGMWr5 #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Pt. 5 Here is an image of what scorpions look like glowing under UV light! Credit: Lizardguy/Flickr #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Pt. 4 The scorpion may be using its fluorescence to avoid its own predators, however, as detecting moonlight could help with shelter seeking behaviors and could help the scorpion detect whether it is exposed. #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Pt. 3 Another hypothesis is that their fluorescence helps attract prey but some studies have found mixed results on whether this is actually the case. #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Pt. 2 Since scorpions are nocturnal, it is possible that their exoskeletons allow them to detect UV light so that they are able to avoid it. This can help to protect them from becoming dehydrated in the sun. #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Pt. 1 Did you know that scorpions are fluorescent under natural moonlight? The exact mechanisms and functions of this behavior are still unknown but there are several hypothesis as to why it happens. #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior @UConnBehavior
For my @UConnBehavior class my group is observing otter livestreams from both @SeattleAquarium and @MontereyAq to understand otter grooming behavior and why they spend so much time grooming. #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Our group chose to do an observational study on wolf social behaviour in captivity. We've been watching the wolves at the International Wolf Center and the Wolf Conservation Center, please check them out!

Pantala flavescens is a dragonfly found all over the world, literally. It migrates up to 18,000km (over 11,000 miles), and between every continent except Antarctica, it's even found on remote islands like Easter Island and Hawaii. @UConnBehavior #uconnbehavior #uconneeb
For my @UConnBehavior group project we looked at the feeding habits of Alaskan brown bears. Bears eating salmon is a well known image so we wanted to find out if that was actually a good feeding strategy. I captured this image while collecting data. #uconnbehavior #uconneeb
Learned about this super cool animal, the pistol shrimp for my @UConnBehavior class! They can stun their prey with a cavitation bubble that reaches temps close to that of the sun! (And I made this gif!) #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Learn more about anglerfish parasitic mating through these comics I created for #uconneeb ! Bringing clingy to a whole new level... 😳🐟@UConnBehavior #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
Through 20 collective hours of observation, we found that captive cubs spent the majority of their time with their mothers. #eebclasses #uconnbehavior @UConnBehavior (2/2)
Did you know that lemurs hug trees to cool down? @endangeredlemur showed that the base of trees are significantly cooler than the air, the ground, or higher up in the trees. Lemurs can spend up to 4 hours doing this! #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
This semester I observed birds @FeederWatchCam to determine how bird mass and beak size influence seed preferences. In line with our hypotheses, our data suggest that seed size and hardness is positively correlated with mass and beak length! #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior
