🐗 How do Wild Boars differ in movement, space use and daily activity? How do these differences affect their ability to survive and thrive in human-altered landscape? 🌲

👩🏻‍🔬 Dr. Michaela Masilkova and colleagues provide answers in a new study! ⬇️

🧠🦅 Facial configuration matters 🦅🧠

We tested if wild #GreatTits recognise predators not just by what facial elements are present (eyes, beak), but also how they’re arranged.

👁️🔄 Rotate the eyes 90° = more fear
👁️↩️ Rotate them 180° = same fear
👁️🚫 No eyes/beak = no fear
