Extremely happy to be graduating with a distinction in my #Animal Behaviour MSc! Also, just found out that I’ve been awarded the Dean’s Commendation for Exceptional Performance. Special thanks to my supervisor @DardenSafi and @CrabExeter peeps @DrSylvia_Dimit for all their help!

Our paper looking at effects of experiencing cooperation on brain signalling is out! Myself and @DardenSafi, @DarrenPCroft, @Fish_Genomics and @aquagenomics first started talking about this project about 5 years ago

Thanks to the organisers of @AnimalWelfareRN for today's fab #SNA workshop! Great variety of welfare applications of #sna, lots of ideas shared

“Sociability as a personality trait in animals”
In a new MS led by @C_C_Ioannou, we review how social behaviour can be considered as an individual-level trait, & what we can learn from this
(with special focus on social networks & collective behaviour)

If you carry out animal experiments, please answer this survey to share your experiences with, and views on the sharing of research data, particularly from experiments that observed null or negative results.

New paper in @JZoology with @simonmreader and @naubinhorth on vasotocin brain gene expression in guppies exposed to varying levels of predation in the wild. Surprisingly, high pred guppies show higher VT expression.

Hey Laïla Akhtar - a Masters student - who's looking into animal behavior, more specifically how an animal’s social environment shapes individual behavior including their sexual behavior, mate choice & foraging choices.

Ft & thanks @mllexlaila

@LysanneSnijders @RalfKurvers @AlanTump @UWI_StAugustine Thank you 😊

[Laïla @mllexlaila]

@LysanneSnijders @RalfKurvers @AlanTump @UWI_StAugustine Congrats! Such an interesting paper!! Do you think cooperative foraging might be occurring in these large groups (perhaps between females) that confer advantages?

[Amy Deacon @amy_e_deacon]

So much fascinating #GuppyNews packed into this brilliant #AnimBehav2021 thread...and all work conducted in #Trinidad, the #HomeOfTheGuppy!

[Laïla @mllexlaila]

Interesting talk by @RalfKurvers & @PRomanczuk about collective decision-making in fish and how social interactions may improve or worsen collective decisions. What we can learn from fish? Collective Intelligence or #CollectiveStupidity @mpib_berlin @BerlinSciWeek

[Laïla @mllexlaila]

Really interesting read - @DardenSafi et al. found that Trinidadian guppies use the simple ‘walk away’ strategy in response to defecting social partners which in turn result in assortment by cooperation. https://t.co/aaGg6xAT5l

Over the moon to have received my dissy results. Thank you to my amazing supervisor @crstanley_rsrch for your help!!!! @uochester @BioSciChester
