Finishing the #ECBB2024 conference with a plenary by Ethoges Tinbergen Award winner @zegnitriki.bsky.social ! We’ve learned that fish have very plastic brains, and their cognitive abilities are affected by factors like social enrichment and ecological selective pressures during ontogeny 🐟🐟🐟

Tim Clutton-Brock in front of a slide Slide reading Crucial insights from long-term studies: Social systems and breeding systems - Dispersal and philopatry -Reproductive skew -Kinship within groups Variation in individual fitness in females and males - Age effects -Variation in lifetime breeding success and causes -Trade-offs between components Demographic processes -Effects of climate -Effects of density
He believes that long-term studies so far have provided major insights into three areas of animal research: social systems and breeding systems, variation in individual fitness in females and males, and demographic processes. #ECBB2024

It’s tricky enough to study 1 species long-term, but Tim Clinton-Brock shows the importance of parallel and cross-species studies #ECBB2024 @asaborg.bsky.social

presentation slide says: What don't we know? • Most studies are done on humans or rodents... > Do birds show the same tendency to prefer ultra-processed foods? • Most studies on anthropogenic bird foraging compare urban to rural sites... → How do birds forage in suburban settings? → How effective are conservation efforts, such as sanctuaries, at affecting bird behavior?
presentation slide reads: Future directions • Expand to more sites • Longitudinal studies • Health impacts of processed food in birds • Get in touch if you'd like to chat collaborating!
How do birds feed in urban areas — do they go for ultra-processed junk, or prefer unprocessed food?
Shana Caro (shanacaro.weebly.com/contact.html) is looking for collaborators to repeat her neat and simple experiment.
