🎉Congartulations to Cecilia Baldoni @cecibaldons 👩‍🎓, who defended her thesis "From summer growth to winter decline: brain size, captive effect, and cognitive outcomes in the common shrew during Dehnel's phenomenon" with @martinwikelski, @DinaDechmann, and Dominik von Elverfeldt

BREAKING!! Two books by #mpiab authors have been shortlisted for "Best Science Book of 2025" by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research in Austria😃 Public voting is open until 9 Jan ➡️wissenschaftsbuch.at Two books we need to understand the world we share👇

Great to see so many @MovebankTeam developers and users in one place @animaltracking @safilabmpi

#Halloween comes to @mpicbg. First science, #bats (of course), by @DinaDechmann @MPI_animalbehav. Full house (of course). Organized by our amazing #Postdocs, of course. The afternoon/evening will be wild! 🦇🎃👻💀

Need a gift idea? Our book "Salvatore and the Goats of Mount Etna" is now available in the UK, US, and Canada! Suitable for kids aged 5-8 (and for all of us who believe we can listen to animals). Buy the book by Uschi Muller @GreystoneKids here ➡️outpage.co/9176685871377

Latest magazine feature from @zieglerphoto1 is out in National Geographic 🥳 Read about the secret strength of cacti and see beautiful photos by Christian and Victor Ammann shot in Mexico 🌵🏜️ nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

You know it's October when references to Halloween begin 🎃👻 Bats, of course, are the stars. Go to the dark side tomorrow with an online talk about bats @stri_panama Rachel Page, Teague O'Mara + @dechmannlab discuss their book with📸by @zieglerphoto1 libraryc.org/mcpl/57523

Do animals have better societies than humans? @MegCrofoot @livingingroups answers this timely question in a thoughtful doco @ARTEde (Language is 🇩🇪 but captions can be set to English) @UniKonstanz @CBehav arte.tv/de/videos/1155…

Our first golden eagle study @safilabmpi is published in @eLife! We propose using the ecological niche concept to discuss energy landscape variations, and show that for golden eagles, the realized energy landscape expands with age elifesciences.org/articles/98818

Even the mighty eagle has to learn to fly, optimising the extraction of atmospheric energy with experience published in @eLife. Only through time they unravel the full potential of their morphing energy landscapes. @elham_nourani @Vogelwarte_scie @animaltracking
