If you conduct research in behavioural biology, you may be familiar with the excellent automatic tracking software for analysing ethological videos : AnimalTA http://vchiara.eu/index.php/animalta, developed by Violette Chiara. If you use it in classrooms, would you […]

The Royal Society is dead

A few months ago, Dorothy Bishop resigned her fellowship in the Royal Society in protest at Elon Musk's continuing fellowship. This was a highly principled stand. Eight weeks ago, Steven Curry wrote an open letter to the President of the Royal Society asking him to […]

Try to explain scientific journal publishing fees to non-academics...

xkcd comic showing a discussion between two women. In the first panel, one woman says "wait, all the papers in your field are posted as free pdfs on arxiv? That must be killing big scientific journals since they charge such huge subscription/publishing fees." The other woman replies "Nah, we have been doing it since the 90s, and nobody seems to care". The first woman gets agitated and says "That makes no sense at all", when the other woman shushes her "shh, you'll jinx it".

International commercial trade is a major driver of ecological invasions. Unlike Suez canal, the Panama Canal had a lock system opened in 1914 which limited introduction of marine species. Recent expansion work has enabled the transit of mega-vessels. In this […]

In behavioural biology and animal personality, we constantly need to assess the #repeatability of temporal data (latency time for change of state) typically analysed with survival model (Cox model). Shinichi Nakagawa and colleagues have published an ICC-based […]

Good science doesn't always require elaborate protocols. Maëlan Tomasek, a PhD student in Alex Jordan's group in Konstanz, published a simple but elegant study of the cognitive abilities of wild fish. The sample size is modest, but it's a proof of concept: some […]
