First paper from my PhD research is out today in @HumBioAssoc 🥳 Using actigraphic data, we found that low-to-moderate intensity physical activities consistently correlated with higher-quality sleep among habitually active agropastoralists. dx.doi.org/10.1002/ajhb.7…

Some exciting results from our multispecies work on herders and guard dogs 🐄 🐕 #AABA2025

Excited to share our new research: “Are humans facing a sleep epidemic or enlightenment? Large-scale, industrial societies exhibit long, efficient sleep yet weak circadian function.” Let’s break down the key findings in this thread:

If you have ever struggled with the shift in routine imposed by the seasonal "springing forward" & "falling backward" of the clocks, spare a thought for sled dogs bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Here's a neat write-up from @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/science/2025/0…

Ever wonder how turning the clocks back an hour affects working and companion dogs? Check out our new paper in @PLOSONE examining the impact of Daylight Saving Time (DST) change on sled and pet dogs’ morning activity 🐕🐾 doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Researchers often witness – but don’t report – same-sex sexual behaviour in animals, according to a new #UofT study ➡️ uoft.me/aGc

My labs hard work paying off! Our new pub finds tiers of #interunit #dominance in #Rwenzori #colobus where one clan outranks the other and is more central in the #social #network! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Same-sex sexual behaviour is rare in mammals… or is it? Check out our new paper where we survey mammologists about their observations. #PLOSONE dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Really enjoyed my first #AABA2024 and getting to share our findings on seasonal sleep variation in an agropastoral community 💤⛰️

@ericakls @UNBC Amazing news! So deserving 👏👏👏

Thrilled to share that I'll be joining the Department of Anthropology at @UNBC this July!! 🎉😊 Excited to begin this next chapter and continue work in biocultural sleep and health research!

#DidYouKnow Behavioral patterns of post-mounting grooming help to reveal the functions of same-sex mounts #primatology Check out the full @AmJournalPrimat article by Julie Teichroeb @Teichroeb_Lab; Pengzhen Huang @maiqi0818 here: doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23…

Congratulations to our previous lab manager, Nhu Hunyh, on her inaugurate first-author research paper on sleep associations with mental and physical health, focusing on those facing homelessness. 🏡 🛌 Read about it here! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1/🧵Ever wondered why we dream? In our new publication we explore how dreams of foragers and other groups might be more than just random thoughts, but a tool evolved for emotional processing & adaptation in response to threats. Open access: rdcu.be/dnwPj

@Primalprimate @eric_shattuck @PrancingPapio @_TheSHEL_ We used Vistaprint 👌

@eric_shattuck @PrancingPapio @_TheSHEL_ @mfli18 , did you order the lab gear? ☺️

Field views, field woes.

@eric_shattuck @FloridaState @FSUartssciences Congratulations Eric!!
