@wildwithwolves Amazing !!

For the first time in India, a camera collar has captured the world through the eyes of a wild leopard. Deployed as part of a research initiative, this groundbreaking footage offers an intimate glimpse into the life and landscape of one of India’s most elusive big cats. A remarkable step forward in blending science, technology, and conservation for deeper understanding and coexistence. @wii_india @moefcc @vrtiwari1 @rameshpandeyifs @SPYadavIFS @ntca_india @IBCA_official @GobindsagarBha1 @Dr_RajeshGopal @bhlab_india @Kumar9Ankit @shaheerkhan @MahaForest

@thevirdas Cool! I am so glad to see "The Potato Eaters" . One of my favourites.

Going in for three months of isolation and heavy writing. Gave myself a budday gift. A room to write in. Took two weeks, took a small room and picked everything in it myself. Tried to create a vintage vibe. Still missing a desk but pretty happy with it :-)

@samanth_s @yaminivijayan @ChefTZac @TheLocavoreIn @sorcerical It's one of my favourite travel books..!

14 years ago, I wrote a little book, expecting it to sink out of sight. I’m perpetually amazed that people continue to love “Following Fish” — including @yaminivijayan and @ChefTZac, who excerpted it today in @TheLocavoreIn. [Next year makes it 15, @sorcerical.] thelocavore.in/2024/04/17/on-…

@MonkeyologistB Congrats !

A day at a waterhole: On a blazing day in the grasslands, a pipeline leakage becomes a lifeline for all: The wild, feral, and the humans. A kind reminder that we are part of the same ecosystem, which we should conserve - for all of us. #grassland #wildlife #cameratrap #tgt #mfd

Awesome finale that @JTKerby's image made the @AnimalEcology cover in support of our method using drones to study animals in their natural social and physical landscapes! @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin great team!

@ArjDheer @IZWberlin @HyenaProject @InsideNatGeo @HyaenaSG Congratulations!

Honored to share that I successfully defended my PhD yesterday! 👨🏽‍🎓 So I guess you could say these photos are “doctored”… 😏 #PhDone #Drrernat

@ben_ifs Amazing!

Into the wild... 🐺: With the advent of cutting edge technology, @adwait_d from @MPI_animalbehav and @CBehav @UniKonstanz begun the groundwork to study the collective behaviour of Indian Grey #Wolves @tgtrustindia using #drones and #AI tools. exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh…

@rahulpandita Well-crafted article! A must-read! Gives a brief overview of the current situation in both proximate and historical contexts! Thanks for writing! I would appreciate it if you could suggest a book on the topic to understand this Punjab situation in depth?

The last “sermon” of #AmritpalSingh at village Pahuwind, Amritsar. I was there and witnessed how he was gradually gaining traction among the youth. Here’s my detailed report on him and whether with his disappearance the crisis has been averted tinyurl.com/3vxdee2x

@AnimalEcology @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin The incredible gelada pictures are by our co-author @JTKerby !

More amazing content from this study! The video highlights different scales at which authors quantified individuals in a zebra herd, from large scale movements to fine scale individual animal posture, in a social context.@ben_kogerv @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin

Consumer drones and machine learning enables research of group living animals, from zebras to gelada monkeys, in their natural social and environmental context at sub-meter and sub-second resolution. @ben_koger @adwait_d @jgraving @BlairRCostelloe @icouzin doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

I am very happy to have this method out in @AnimalEcology! Congrats to @Ben_Koger and all our co-authors! We developed this approach to facilitate studies of #collectivebehavior in wild populations, for systems & questions that are hard to address using existing methods.

Out now in @AnimalEcology! A general approach for using drones to study animal behavior in the wild. Record the location and posture of many animals simultaneously at sub-second sub-meter resolution, plus reconstruct their 3D landscape: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

🚨 Do vervet monkeys have context-dependent alarm responses? New study by @adwait_d, Erica van de Waal, and Klaus Zuberbühler using field experiments to test how vervet monkeys react to alarm calls produced in intergroup vs. non-intergroup situations: link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/3

The Grey wolf is the most widespread carnivore in the world. “Adaptive” is a word that gets more associated with leopards but we tend to overlook how adaptive the wolves are. #wolves #Savannah #grasslands #wildlife #incredibleindia #twitternaturecommunity #wildindia

@Bidisha_02 @pili_scotland @SemplePrimate @AcademicChatter That is a super interesting thing to investigate.

@adwait_d @pili_scotland @SemplePrimate @AcademicChatter +independently affects food access, or access to other resources for that matter.

Folks working on #socialnetworks in animals, can anyone point me in the direction of papers that have shown an effect of social network position on direct resource access? Lit searches have not revealed any! #socialnetworkanalysis #animalbehavior #research @AcademicChatter
