Title slide of a recorded talk: Characterizing the Heritability of Cognitive and Behavioral Traits Across Development in Domestic Dogs. Gitanjali E. Gnanadesikan, Emily E. Bray, Kerinne M. Levy, Daniel J. Horschler, Stephanie Hargrave, Laura E.L.C. Douglas, Brenda S. Kennedy, Marina M. Watowich, Noah Snyder-Mackler, and Evan L. MacLean. Animal Behavior Society, June 28, 2024. Logos of the University of Arizona, Arizona Canine Cognition Center, Emory University, and the Social Cognition and Primate Behavior Lab.

I finally posted a recorded version of my talk from the #ABS2024 Allee Symposium! 🐶🧬
If you missed it live (there were so many good talks to choose from in parallel sessions!), you can now listen on the virtual conference website:

My #ABS2024 talk is live on the ABS portal! You can also watch it on YouTube: youtu.be/BijNN5SnqCw
I'm going to be honest, it is very hard for me to just throw this up in all it's haphazard glory rather than re-recording a perfect presentation, but on the other hand, I have no time.

Recording my #ABS2024 presentation to post to the virtual conference, the slide is frozen as powerpoint exports the video and I have to say the final shot of my presenting face feels like a hit job
I look very afraid of (upset by?) my own slide but I promise I am not
How to handle in-person vs online conferences?
The @AnimBehSociety has a cool approach. The in-person conference was last week. Now we upload videos of talks and posters, accessible to in-person & virtual-only attendees (with virtual office hours & online questions). #ABS2024
We had an incredible week at the Animal Behavior Society annual meeting in London, Ontario! Who else was there? Reply to this and share your favorite moments! #ABS2024
Starting in 65 minutes in Social Sciences 2050!!!
You don't want to miss this spicy live episode of the @AnimalBehavPod #ABS2024
I've had so much fun attending #ABS2024 this week with this brilliant crew of Animal Behaviourists from our research team. (Plus Natalie who joined us virtually.)
Thank you to @AnimBehSociety for hosting a great conference at Western University!
Dr. Elizabeth Hobson receives an award from ABS president, Dr. Vanessa Ezenwa.
Yay, Liz!! So well deserved! 🎉🥂👏

Madison Von Deylen takes a minute to establish some simple concepts like “Condition” and “Latent Varianle Structural Equation Modeling”. After some intense data gathering, there appears to be a negative relationship between female condition and fitness, but positive in males.

Maggie Vincent is an insect person (not in the kafkaesque sense) and so she knows peri-copulatory courtship is a thing, and it turns out it’s common in vertebrates too (particularly primates).
#ABS2024
Paula Verzola-Olívio shows that guinea pigs seem to have consistent preferences for social partners but somewhat mixed preferences for reproductive partners. Some like the sub-dominant “Sirius”. No one likes Jon Snow.
#ABS2024
Kerry Shaw, master of crickets, explores speciation in the laupala crickets. The song variation can basically be described by pulse rate, which can be mapped to loci on the genome (along with song preference).
#ABS2024
I’m really proud of the research Stephanie, Sarah, and Erin presented in the poster session at #ABS2024. Great studies of anthropogenic noise, Savannah Sparrows, and Humpback Whales @SGamboa0 @SDobney2 and Erin!
Jeff Lucas shows that across species, female auditory perception shift to better attend to male signals at the expense of ecological signals. If it’s a sexual arms race, it seems like females are running in the wrong direction. Huh.
#ABS2024
Yennhi Phan shows that food and temperature affects social spider courtship, but how those vary and interact depending on the behavior.
#ABS2024
Carrie Branch loves chickadees, and chickadees love finding smart partners for extra pair paternity.
#ABS2024
Last day of conference, and Damien Elias kicks it off with a discussion of the diversity of social spiders and social scientists. Females prefer red Mascara-painted spiders, driving hybrid introgression.
#ABS2024
Phew, what a day! I probably would have given up on posting all these, especially because I am one of exactly two people using the #ABS2024 hashtag here, but it's actually been extremely helpful for me in remembering the talks, especially since my current working memory is zero. One more day!
Finally, ABS President Vanessa Ezenwa has us all thinking about disease transfer in a large poorly ventilated conference center. Animal behavior can dampen the impacts of parasites in all sorts of cool ways. Also, giraffes, amirite?
#ABS2024
Friend of the lab, Sanjay Prasher shows that bobwhite quails learn to follow the individual with access to food, and that following persists even after food is plentiful. RFID robot feeder is very cool.
#ABS2024
Isabella Muratore is squashing army ants for the naval academy. Ants form bivouacs, with the ants on top bearing the biggest load, but they seem to only invest as much as they need to.
#ABS2024
A picture of Dan Rubestein presenting a slide with a 1970's style illustration of some bleeding age drone tech that he's working on.
Dan Rubenstein is trying to catch the wave of "imageomics", and has big ideas for monitoring zebras with drones. I really really love this illustration.
#ABS2024
Zachary Laubach has ideas for using AI for getting at causal inference. ChatGPT has made me pretty skeptical of LLMs, but I sure would love a robot that could review the lit for me, and in theory that's the perfect use case. (oh, and watch out for collider bias)
#ABS2024
Next up, after the break, Leonardo Castilho has checked your work, and it appears around a third of stats analyses are done wrong, with half of those (13% overall) showing different results when done correctly. Check your test assumptions, and let's all share those residual plots, k?
#ABS2024
Back to plasticity for Michaela Rogers, showing more maternal effects, this time in Stickleback. Parental effects are pretty weird, tbi, paternal predator exposure (but not maternal predator exposure?) leads to offspring that swim longer in the assay, maybe mediated by anxiety?
#ABS2024
Over to the Allee symposium for Connor Philson. He's using a multi-level selection approach to parse out individual-level from group-level selection (on individuals. Don't worry. It's not group selection). Marmots are weird, half of selection is from group-level phenotype.
