Thick-billed Spiderhunter - eBird

Dull and largely unmarked spiderhunter. Brownish olive above with a yellow belly, faint yellow crescents around the eye, and faint speckling on the crown. Gives insistently harsh, nasal chattering calls that seem disproportionate for its small size. Forages in the middle levels of foothill and lowland rainforests, gleaning insects and sipping nectar from flowers.

In a recent @TrendsEcolEvo paper, Muff et al. suggested to use the wording "weak/moderate/strong/very strong evidence" instead of binary yes/no p-values. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534721002846
This article was met by some controversy, such as from @lakens https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169534721003414?via%3Dihub , by Hartig&Barraquand https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169534722000489?via%3Dihub as well by Amrhein&Greenland https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169534722000246?via%3Dihub . In my opinion, Dushoff et al. present a nice alternative - referring statistical clarity https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.13159 #Rstats #statistics

We got the cover of the new issue of #BehavioralEcology! Have look at the great picture taken by Crispin Rodwell, and of course, at our paper on #animalpersonality:

Of course, it is #openaccess, with #opendata and #opencode

Neonate personality affects early-life resource acquisition in a large social mammal

There is an ever-increasing interest in behavioral differences between individuals, or “animal personality”. Here we show how these differences develop over the

African Crested-Flycatcher

Small, slim, crested member of the monarch family. The male has a black hood, a large crest, and a variable white patch in the wing. The female is plainer and greyer, with a reduced crest and less white in the wing. Found in the midstory of forest, from low to high elevations. Restless bird that often joins mixed feeding flocks. Call is a zinging “zree-zre-zre”. Song is a long, musical series of hollow notes. The very pale underparts and white mark on the wing are separate it from other crested-flycatchers.

Hi everyone!

I am a Senior Lecturer in #SilwoodPark at #ImperialCollegeLondon. I am interested how social behaviours (#MateChoice, SexualSelection, #sociality) and #LifeHistory traits (#ageing, reproductive traits) evolve in birds. I've also published on #WomenInScience. I use #quantitativegenetics to better understand how #phenotypes are governed by #genetic architecture.

I have too many #pets, I like #hiking, #birding, #moths, and #fungi.

Will follow you back - toot!
