A new technology developed at EPFL makes it possible for a single deep learning model to detect animal motion across many species and environments. This “foundational model” can be used for animal conservation, biomedicine, and neuroscience research.

FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀

Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!

Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀

🚨 New Paper Out! 🚨 Why do dogs wag their tails? | Surprisingly we still know very little about this yet very conspicuous behaviour! Read more on Biology Letters https://t.co/SEdMGjGCw1
Congratulations @SilviaLeonetti_ @taylorahersh @CimarelliG @AndreaRavignani !!

Left: how humans see starlings.
Right: how starlings may see each other - with bolder markings and more colour.

The amazing world of UV vision, seen through the eyes of…. birds.

[Alexandra Horowitz @DogUmwelt]

the great paradox of much non-human animal research: we treat them as though they are sufficiently "like us" that they can be models for human responses. But we also assert they are "not enough like us" for us to worry that we are torturing them

The recent expansion of studies into cognitive abilities of overlooked creatures such as insects and reptiles was trail-blazed a century ago by Charles Henry Turner. https://t.co/TUys6QBue3

V okviru Evropske noči raziskovalcev bomo predvajali kratek film, ki smo ga posnele s tremi pasjimi zvezdami. Pridite in spoznajte njihov tipičen dan skozi njihove oči (večinoma nos)!

[Marie-Claire Pagano @mpaganox]

As part of the European Researcher's night on 29th September we (w/ @RMursic, @humanistika) are screening a short film captured by three dog stars. Come along to experience their typical day through their eyes (mostly nose)! Screening at 17:00, @Pritlicje

Submitted 🐶🐕📰. Thank you to all the pawticipants and their humans who took part in the studies.

Six eggs in seagulls nests didn't make sense to reseasrchers. Until they found out that female homosexual couples make nests and raise chicks together. But do we actually need affirmation of queerness in nature to have equal rights?
Superb @Radiolab! https://t.co/BrUhqdqM0y

[Marie-Claire Pagano @mpaganox]

Completely agree. There are far more creative and non-invasive ways to study animals’ inner lives without inflicting unnecessary suffering

[Alexandra Horowitz @DogUmwelt]

Question: does one need to implant electrodes and surgically fix their heads in place in order to determine that pigeons dream? and in the end, kill them?
Answer: no. no, one does not

Kako psi zaznavajo svet okoli sebe? Kaj vse se dogaja na njihovem nosebooku? Kako psi doživljajo njihove sprehode?

Jutri/18:00/Tivoli - pasji čutni sprehod v okviru projekta @humanistika. Prijavite se pri @RMursic in @mpaganox.

Walking a dog can become a normal routine. But have you ever wondered how your dog experiences the walk and the wider world around them? Sign up for a walk from your dog's perspective in Ljubljana ⬇️🦮 @RMursic

A labour of love by @Charlotte9080 during the pandemic, it took us down a few crazy rabbit holes 😅 but we’re incredibly proud to share & hope #DeepWild becomes a useful tool for the ape behaviour community!

It’s also > more than ‘just’ our new model👇 1/10

Ljubljana and its pedestrian zone. How some measures to reduce traffic have worked and what more can be done to improve city living during the climate crisis. 🧵📹⬇️

[Zarja Muršič @piskotk]

Ljubljana is famous in France (and elsewhere) for our big pedestrian zone in the city center. But what is the actual story behind it? Is it a success? Could we do more and move towards even more sustainable mobility in Ljubljana?

As a biologist getting to grips with coding and data sharing GitHub can be a hurdle to learn. A useful guide on how to share code and data as well as other uses
