Wonderful photographs! I hope you also got to see some carnivores during your time there.

How Much Is Enough? An Empirical Test of the Resource Dispersion Hypothesis We provide evidence in support of the Resource Dispersion Hypothesis in free-ranging dogs of India.

New paper alert: How Much Is Enough? An Empirical Test of the Resource Dispersion Hypothesis -Ecology and Evolution onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Testing the Resource Dispersion Hypothesis in free-ranging dogs shows urban resources reshape space, not group size. @abhadra7.bsky.social.

New paper out today in Ecology and Evolution! Link below. Congrats PhD student @smthmpsn.bsky.social, on your first paper. All about how wild birds learn to avoid a novel aposematic warning signal. And a nice nod to Britney Spears in the paper title.

Humbled by the reviewers’ comments—and inspired to keep pushing forward! After years of fieldwork, learning, failing, growing—this is the kind of moment you hold on to.
Grateful beyond words.
Huge thanks to my supervisor @abhadra7.bsky.social for the unwavering guidance through it all.
