New research article! 📰 Jardim et al. studied personality in H. striatula ants, finding low repeatability in behaviors and no evidence of behavioral syndromes. 🐜 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s00040… @LEEC_USPN #InsectesSociaux #SocialInsects #AnimalPersonality #BehavioralScience #Ant

Fully funded PhD position on 'Paternities and spatial kinship structure in a population of South African bush Karoo rats'. Field work in South Africa. Analysis of existing long-term data at Univ. Sorbonne Paris Nord. Please RT! www-leec.univ-paris13.fr/documents/LEEC…

New study highlights how Canada lynx and snowshoe hare behaviours mirror their 10-year population cycles. Increased vigilance and movement during scarcity reflect predator-prey dynamics. #WildlifeResearch #Ecology 🐰🐾 doi.org/10.1016/j.ecol…

Here's the perfect formula to write a literature review paragraph. A great literature review paragraph needs exactly 2 components. Most students think every paper needs its own paragraph. Completely off the mark. The secret?

Did you know that the white-tailed jackrabbit is the biggest species of leporid alive? Growing up to 26 inches (66.4 cm) long and weighing up to 9 pounds (4.08 kg), Lepus townsendii is the largest species among hares and rabbits!

A new study reveals survival rates and space use in semi-natural enclosures of restocked Iberian rabbits, shedding light on habitat needs and challenges. #WildlifeConservation #Ecology link.springer.com/article/10.100…
