I only just started this book and I fucking love it. Please read. Thank.

osupress.oregonstate.edu/book/

but no srsly, thank you for considering it. It feels like talking to a friend who Knows how fucked up your family is.

You've been away for a while, so you're shielded from the worst of their damaging tantrums, but uncompromising bare facts of the situation still sober you up somehow.

osupress.oregonstate.eduIndigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge | OSU PressWith more than fifty contributors, Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge offers important perspectives by Indigenous Peoples on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous value systems. The book aims to educate and inspire readers about the importance of decolonizing how Indigenous Knowledges are considered and used outside of Native communities. By including the work of Indigenous storytellers, poets, and scholars from around the globe, editor Lara Jacobs and chapter authors effectively explore the Indigenous value systems—relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility—that are fundamental to Indigenous Knowledge systems and cultures. Indigenous languages and positionality statements are featured for each of the contributors to frame their cultural and geographical background and to allow each Indigenous voice to lead discussions and contribute critical discourse to the literature on Indigenous Knowledges and value systems. By creating space for each of these individual voices, this volume challenges colonial extraction norms and highlights the importance of decolonial methods in understanding and protecting Indigenous Knowledges. Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge is an essential resource for students, academics, members of Tribal, state, and federal governments, Indigenous communities, and non-Indigenous allies as well as a valuable addition to environmental and Indigenous studies collections.   Contributors include: Melinda M.

🚨 New Publication Alert 🚨
From Mind to Matter: Patterns of Innovation in the Archaeological Record and the Ecology of Social Learning

We model the conditions under which new technologies spread, how they spread, and what we should expect to see in the archaeological record given different types of transmission.

Animals respond to weekday vs. weekend differences in #human activity in their habitat.

#Hummingbirds decreased defense of their territories during busy weekdays compared to weekends, which allowed rivals more access to their flowers.

Studies like this one (Mendiola-Islas et al 2023) are reminders of the effect that humans have on #animals and #plants living with or near them, even when we are simply going about our business.

Snakes Can Hear You Better Than You Think

Researchers have dispelled the myth that snakes are deaf to airborne sound and can ‘hear’ only ground vibrations. Snakes were placed in a soundproofed room, and sounds with different frequencies were played on speakers. [...] The experiment suggests that snakes can indeed hear sounds in the frequency range and volume of a human voice.

ScienceAlertSnakes Can Hear You Better Than You ThinkDare to get close enough to a snake of some kind, you'll quickly notice there's no sign of an ear for you to whisper into.

Hello synapse.cafe!

Just migrated from sciencemastodon, a perfectly good instance, but I think this will feel a little more like home. Anyway, #introduction time again!

I’m an assistant #professor at the University of Manitoba in #Winnipeg. I run the #Invertebrate #Neuroethology #Laboratory, where we study #AnimalBehavior, #Neuroscience, and #BehavioralEcology. We are interested in the #NeuralCircuits of #Learning, #Memory, and #DecisionMaking, especially with respect to #TimeMemory, other areas of #Chronobiology, and #MultisensoryIntegration. We work mostly with #HoneyBees (#Apis #mellifera), but we like all #inverts!

I'm not sure what the solution is, but it is a problem across race, ethnicity, gender, and even language.

That said, I'm inclined to think it is a problem easier solved by decentralized entities agreeing to standardized code of conduct rather than a centralized entity attempting to enforce. Easier, although not easy. 🤓

#Introduction

#AssistantProfessor at U. of North Texas #UNT. I study #BehavioralEcology (#BehaviouralEcology) and #CommunityEcology with #insect #pollinators. My lab focuses on how #GlobalChange affects pollinator communities and the interactions within those communities, including #bee #foraging behavior.

Current projects study pollinators in #rangeland and #SocialInformation use across insect functional groups. Also collaborating with #TPWD to assess #conservation status of TX #NativeBees.

Okay, #introduction time.

I'm in the middle of a weird disciplinary leap right now but #neuroethology might be the right name. I did my PhD at UT Austin on #EnergyBalance and social context as factors in decisions about whether to signal in singing mice, with a pretty standard #BehavioralEcology perspective; currently, I'm working with #SLEAP and #PoseEstimation on mouse models of neurodivergence in the Grissom lab at UMN, experimenting with #BigData large scale behavioral collection.

Migrated instance so giving a new intro:
Hi y'all, I'm a #paleoanthropologist trained in four-fields #anthropology in the US, now an assoc prof in #archaeology at #Leiden university. I use a #behavioralecology approach to study how #plants may have shaped #human #evolution, and various biological, ecological and cultural drivers of #foodbehaviors.
I "live toot" conferences, incl. the European Society for the study of Human Evolution #ESHE and the Paleoanthropology Society.

Finally found out how to follow hashtags and starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of this. So, time for a re-#introduction: I work in #philosophy, where I specialise in #AnimalCognition, #AnimalEthics, #AnimalBehavior, #PhilosophyOfAnimalMinds. I work interdisciplinarily and aim to be in a dialogue with folks from #Ethology and #ComparativePsychology. I'm also interested in #BehavioralEcology, #Evolution, #AnimalWelfare, #AnimalStudies, and all things #Science. Happy to be here! :)
