I had a very enjoyable time at #ASABWinter2025 and was delighted to present a poster on my work on bird visual fields! Thanks to the organisers @asab-meetings.bsky.social for a sociable and useful few days.
#ASABWinter2025 was awesome! Loads of really cool animal behaviour research and great to be there with Ben Bluck (PhD in our group) and @helenalcurrie.bsky.social. Enjoyed being able to share some of our work on light pollution and fish with a great audience 🌆🐟
Join us for the @ecbb2026.bsky.social at @angliaruskin.bsky.social in September! @asab.org meeting secretary @viveknityananda.bsky.social advertising our conference at #asabwinter2025

Great work from @estelle-meaux.bsky.social on the use of contact calls in a recruitment context in white-eyes (and support from former lab member @mdiquelou.bsky.social ) #ASABWinter2025

Such an incredible time at #ASABWinter2025. A huge thank you to everyone involved in the organisation. The small amount of help was entirely worth it for an exclusive camo name tag. More importantly it is an honour to have been amongst those standing that had the chance to work with Innes!

Thanks so much to ASAB and the #ASABwinter2025 organisers for a cracking conference. Not sure why I’m so excited here, I guess the yoghurt and granola had just been served…
Great #ASABWinter2025 conference in Edinburgh! Proud to be presenting our sociable weaver acoustics and social network results from two of our PhD students! 🎉
@asab.org
Had the best time presenting my research on same-sex sexual behaviours in Indian meal moths at #ASABWinter2025 Was brilliant meeting and chatting with experts in animal behaviour, can’t wait to be back with new research!

Nothing like unwinding after #ASABWinter2025 with friends old and new in the pub 🍻 I’m truly knackered!
We should also thank the ASAB council for making these meetings happen each year! It’s incredible that #ASABWinter2025 is free of charge for participants 😍
Attended and presented a poster at the wonderful 2 day #ASABWinter2025 meeting in the beautiful city of #Edinburgh.
A coming together of researchers asking how sensory worlds shape #AnimalBehaviour.
A genuine sense of community across generations of animal ethologists.

Freshwater fish behaviour in our illuminated world: Insights from the laboratory ASAB Winter Conference (Edinburgh, December 2025) Andy Vowles (Senior Research Fellow; Matthew Hatfield (PhD Researcher) Prof. Paul Kemp International Centre for Ecohydraulics Research Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences University of Southampton, UK
Artificial light at night is increasing in extent and brightness. It appears that such light can affect things like route choice and daytime activity in freshwater fish 🐠 💡 #ASABWinter2025

When hawks are in flight, it appears that they are centering vertical edges and maintaining central brightness 🌬️🦅 #ASABWinter2025
Note that there’s a PhD position on this topic, if you found this interesting! #ASABWinter2025

Octopus are master matchers - but they’re colourblind! However, they have great polarisation vision, which could help them discriminate colours (TBD) 🐙🌈 #ASABWinter2025
