ETHOLOGY: We know that moths use evasive maneuvers to escape bats - but what about mosquitos? 🦟🦇 Breviglieri & da Silva reveal species-specific escape strategies: Culex fly loopings to dodge bats 10× more effectively than Aedes! Cool!➿ Read more: https://doi.org/10.1111/eth.13576 #AnimalBehavior #CoEvolution
A great new paper came out: Amelia Munson & Cairsty DePasquale have published a review that explores the design factors worth considering when using mazes to study cognition in fish.
🚨 CALL🚨 #JFB, Journal of Fish Biology, special issue on methodological challenges encountered by researchers of fish cognition. We are looking for articles that discuss challenges, solutions & empirical studies: https://shorturl.at/yBPR9

New paper: The non-linear effects of increasing temperature on aggression in fish.
We explored the change in aggression with exposure to different temperatures in - the princess of Zambia (Neolamprologus pulcher).
These fish use aggression to maintain their complex social systems - they are co-operative breeders. We explored the effect of temperature on aggression across a large range of temperatures.

Fish maze design paper is out. It was great to work with so many amazing scientists across different labs. We show basic, but important aspects of the physical design that can impact fish performance in mazes and arenas.
We are looking forward to discussing a range of issues: from exciting new tracking techniques https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.20.537633v1
And fundamental aspects of physical design in assays, such as the impact of the number of options in arena choice assays
