A new technology developed at EPFL makes it possible for a single deep learning model to detect animal motion across many species and environments. This “foundational model” can be used for animal conservation, biomedicine, and neuroscience research. actu.epfl.ch/news/unifying-…

FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀 Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station! Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀 🧵

🚨 New Paper Out! 🚨 Why do dogs wag their tails? | Surprisingly we still know very little about this yet very conspicuous behaviour! Read more on Biology Letters royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Congratulations @SilviaLeonetti_ @taylorahersh @CimarelliG @AndreaRavignani !!

Left: how humans see starlings. Right: how starlings may see each other - with bolder markings and more colour. The amazing world of UV vision, seen through the eyes of…. birds.

the great paradox of much non-human animal research: we treat them as though they are sufficiently "like us" that they can be models for human responses. But we also assert they are "not enough like us" for us to worry that we are torturing them lithub.com/how-can-you-kn…

The recent expansion of studies into cognitive abilities of overlooked creatures such as insects and reptiles was trail-blazed a century ago by Charles Henry Turner. nautil.us/charles-henry-…

V okviru Evropske noči raziskovalcev bomo predvajali kratek film, ki smo ga posnele s tremi pasjimi zvezdami. Pridite in spoznajte njihov tipičen dan skozi njihove oči (večinoma nos)! @RMursic, @humanistika 29. 9. ob 17.00 v @Pritlicje

As part of the European Researcher's night on 29th September we (w/ @RMursic, @humanistika) are screening a short film captured by three dog stars. Come along to experience their typical day through their eyes (mostly nose)! Screening at 17:00, @Pritlicje humanistika.si/en/dogodki/a-d…

Submitted 🐶🐕📰. Thank you to all the pawticipants and their humans who took part in the studies.

Six eggs in seagulls nests didn't make sense to reseasrchers. Until they found out that female homosexual couples make nests and raise chicks together. But do we actually need affirmation of queerness in nature to have equal rights? Superb @Radiolab! wnycstudios.org/story/seagulls/

Completely agree. There are far more creative and non-invasive ways to study animals’ inner lives without inflicting unnecessary suffering

Kako psi zaznavajo svet okoli sebe? Kaj vse se dogaja na njihovem nosebooku? Kako psi doživljajo njihove sprehode? Jutri/18:00/Tivoli - pasji čutni sprehod v okviru projekta @humanistika. Prijavite se pri @RMursic in @mpaganox. Več informacij: humanistika.si/dogodki/pasjep…

@romunov v slovenščini in angleščini

zdej mi je pa zal, da nimam psa. mrbit si pr sosedih sposodm enga sprehod bo v angleščini 😁

Walking a dog can become a normal routine. But have you ever wondered how your dog experiences the walk and the wider world around them? Sign up for a walk from your dog's perspective in Ljubljana ⬇️🦮 @RMursic humanistika.si/en/dogodki/pas…

A labour of love by @Charlotte9080 during the pandemic, it took us down a few crazy rabbit holes 😅 but we’re incredibly proud to share & hope #DeepWild becomes a useful tool for the ape behaviour community! It’s also > more than ‘just’ our new model👇 1/10 @DeepLabCut

Ljubljana and its pedestrian zone. How some measures to reduce traffic have worked and what more can be done to improve city living during the climate crisis. 🧵📹⬇️

@JanaSvenska @DeepLabCut @asherblab Plus sleepy Lajka here has pre-marked eyebrows 😄

🤗 We think it’s time for a challenge/friendly competition ! 🪄 Reply below with your best #deeplabcut video/gif (tag @depelabcut) and our dev team will pick a few winners for some awesome DLC Swag! Tweet/Toot 🐘by May 5th 💜
