Did you know that the “pecking order" turns 100 this year? @jalapic, @ShizukaLab, @Eliz_Hobson, I, and many excellent contributing authors reflect on dominance hierarchy research over the last century and into the next in a @RSocPublishing theme issue. royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2022/…

🚨Field work position🚨 The Mara Hyena Project is looking for two research assistants to start year-long field positions in January 2025. Join our team and contribute to our long-term study on hyena behavior and ecology! Application review will start Aug 20th

The top-cited article of 2022 from #PhilTransB, ‘The establishment and maintenance of dominance hierarchies’ reveals how different species establish and sustain hierarchies, highlighting future research possibilities. ow.ly/RiRw50QreAT #AnimalBehaviour

It's finally out! Behind this article was more than a year of hard work by @cdellamore, @jenguyton. My work w/Jen & contributing journalist @ayenatM included plenty of late nights/early mornings, fieldwork fails, bushwacking, & buffalo. Awesome job, folks! 🥳 @HyaenaSG #hyena

It's time to flip the script on hyenas. They're doting parents, intelligent problem solvers, and supreme hunters. @NatGeo's cover story this month, which I wrote and @jenguyton photographed, is out today! nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

The last chapter of my Ph.D. thesis has been published @CommsBio. I studied how to monitor the vibratory communications of ground-dwelling arthropods and acoustic niche partitioning in the 'vibroscapes' under our feet. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Ever wondered what the forest floor sounds like? Or how different spider species partition their signaling environment over space and time? Wonder no longer with this fantastic work out recently by @NooriChoi! @UNLincoln @UNLsbs @UNLresearch rdcu.be/dxYoY

We report the discovery of convergence of a complex, composite trait through which two species of Nepenthes pitcher plants catapult their prey down the pitcher using rain power.

I would love to hear people’s thoughts about this invited article I wrote. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/et…

🤩I am so excited to share our newly published article "Review of the global research on Hyaenidae and implications for conservation and management", out today in @Mammal_Society Mammal Review. The result of TONS of work by some of us in @HyaenaSG. (1/n) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Do social migrants choose less social routes as they age? In our new preprint, we show that juvenile white storks choose routes to overlap with other migrating storks—older birds are more independent! doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… @anflack @elham_nourani @wfiedler2 @MPI_animalbehav

Our paper on #hyena #cooperation is out in @RSocPublishing 🥳! We (@KDSLehmann @jcbeehner @kay_holekamp @MaraHyenas et al) show how long-term social bonds & short-term friendly intx help hyenas overcome barriers to cooperation during risky fights w/ lions: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Big news! We received NSF funding and we're now looking for a PhD student to help us study the ecogeography of social behavior in fairywrens. The student will be co-advised by Dai Shizuka and Allison Johnson. Details here: fairywrenproject.org/2023/10/26/wer…

The Shizuka Lab is recruiting a Ph.D. student for Fall 2024! Two full years of RAship support guaranteed! You can find out more about the lab and the position at shizukalab.com. If you have any questions about the lab itself, I'm happy to chat!(Spoiler alert, I love it)

🌟🌟 JOIN US 🌟🌟 @MarinaWatowich and I are excited to invite you to join us for a symposium exploring the intersection between sociality and aging at #ABS2023 starting at 9:30 am on Wed July 12. Tag and follow along with the talks using #SocAgeSym 🧵below... (1/14)

Hot off the presses! "Reproductive inequality among males in the genus Pan" @MaudMouginot @LevedaCheng @FeldblumJoseph Veronika Städele, Emily Wroblewski, @LindaVigilant Beatrice Hahn, Yingying Li, @ian_gilby, Anne Pusey, Martin Surbeck royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10.10… 1/9

@MatthiasLoretto @drstahler @safilabmpi @martinwikelski Cool paper! Do you know how they are finding these food resources outside of the national park? Also "Important subsidies included...fat present on wastewater settling ponds" 😵
