#UCDavis researchers are using puzzle boxes, rain sticks & papier-mâché balls to study captive gray wolves at the Oakland Zoo & California Wolf Center. The novel research is evaluating the personality and problem-solving skills of the endangered animals. https://t.co/PcigGP0j0v

So excited to share my first first-author paper on IDing elephants in the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary! I couldn’t have done it without @CCCAnimals & @SarahLJacobson1!🐘

Are you interested in conducting behavioral research in an AZA-accredited zoo (perhaps as part of your graduate work)? If so, the Behavioral Scientific Advisory Group's new resource may be useful: #zoo #animalbehavior #research

[Lisa P. Barrett @lisapbarrett]

If you are looking for a #postdoc in #AnimalBehavior at an amazing zoo (w/ opportunity for field-based work too), I cannot recommend this one more 😄 ! @okczoo #ZooResearch #Conservation https://t.co/7JSNeQ1eQt

One of the things I miss most about pre-covid times is writing in coffee shops. I miss the sights and the smells and overhearing small pieces of people’s experiences and personal lives. I miss witnessing young love and old love and letting it inspire my writing. I just miss it.

With many still w/o power, we wanted to share info + resources w/ our student community. For many students, this power outage may impact your academics & we encourage you to work directly w/ your professors regarding any challenges you may be experiencing due to the outage. (1/3)

(1/6) Dance display and female courtship are often overlooked in birdsong studies.
We previously found that a socially monogamous songbird performs tap dance-like display in both sexes.
My current study aims to understand its communicative functions.

1/6 Body temperature (BT) is a valuable physiological parameter as it is related to animal key body functions. Infrared Technology (IRT) allows the study of thermal biology. BT serves as a proxy of health, metabolic rate, stress state and links them with behaviour. #AnimBehav2021

1 #AnimBehav2021 How do ecological and social traits shape cognition? We used a battery of tests to assess the cognitive abilities of the highly frugivorous, fission-fusion dependent spider monkey🐒, and discuss the results based on the socioecological relevance of the skills.

[Jason Wark @JasonDWark]

(1/6) Observing animal behavior has become more accessible with recent tools like the ZooMonitor app. To ensure multiple observers are consistently identifying animal behaviors, researchers rely on reliability testing as a crucial internal validation process. #AnimBehav2021

My husband is conducting interviews today. He’s the biggest goober you’ve ever met and honestly just wants to see people excited to work there. Idk what position you’re holding back applying for but just do it - you never know if you’ll have that one thing your interviewer wants.
