New paper in TREE co-led w @jennakohles.bsky.social: We explore how resource variability shapes the value of social information for maximizing resource gain & minimizing variance. This eco-evolutionary lens helps us explain why collective sensing emerges in dynamic ecosystems!

For decades biologists assumed ravens follow wolves to their kills.
Our paper @science.org shows something different: ravens rarely follow wolves far. Instead they remember areas where wolf kills are common and return to them—sometimes from >150 km away.

It's world bonobo day, and there's so much more to learn about our closest living relative.
What happened to the bonobo "Hugo" last year shocked researchers. Without long-term studies like LuiKotale, Hugo's story would not be heard. @sonya-ofthejungle.bsky.social
