In 2019, scientists velcro'd 3D glasses to European common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis)

They didn't do this just to make them look cool as fuck, but in order to study their vision. Using a 3D theatre made for the cuttlefish, they were able to test if cuttlefish have stereo vision (they do!)

Prior to the permanent fission, chimpanzees from different social clusters interacted

Prior to the permanent fission, chimpanzees from different social clusters interacted

In a decades-long study, researchers have documented what appears to be the first observed “civil war” in wild chimpanzees.

The findings demonstrate that shifting social ties alone can fracture a once unified group and ignite sustained, deadly conflict among former allies. https://scim.ag/47QE8Qw

I'm so happy our paper on the ethics of decoding animal signals using AI is out! First conceived for a talk at Princeton's Center for Human Values conf AI and Animals in 2023 (talk 🔗 www.tinyurl.com/4vrdyeem) we argue against decoding without first having a robust ethical commitment to listening.

1/7 The birth of a sperm whale is a social event that crosses the boundaries between groups.

Individuals from another lineage came in to help in a coordinated way, keeping the calf afloat and protecting it from possible dangers.

A conversation w/ Rob Dunn about mutualisms.

Predation, parasitism, and other negative interactions garner a lot of attention. But interspecies cooperation may be just as common—and it has profoundly shaped our species and our world.

I tried to do what we call, if I may be so bold, a "conceptual scoop"!!

Pls read my story on the most overlooked form of extreme confinement of farmed animals—the routine caging of millions of dairy calves in tiny crates less than 1/10 the size of a parking spot.

It's not about veal! (🧵)
