A stunning bird’s-eye view of four sharks and their schooling prey has been announced as the overall winner of the @RSocPublishing Photography Competition 2024, run in association with @The_RPS. The hunt from above, from the behaviour category, is by Dr Angela Albi, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour, who studies the predator-prey interactions of sharks and schools of fish.

RELab - an expedition into the multifarious world of animal behaviour, where the lab meets the wild takes place now! 30 participants from around the globe came to @unikonstanz @MPI_animalbehav to join ReLab, a unique experimental workshop in the scenic location of Lake #Konstanz.
We got a lot of great applications! For those who haven't applied yet, we extend our application deadline for one more week until the 1st of July. Fee waivers available.
join us for an exciting week exploring nature inside and outside the lab. Dive into animal behavior, use advanced technologies, and engage in collaborative work and thought-provoking discussions. Learn more and apply by June 24th!exc.uni-konstanz.de/collecti…

It’s going great. We are in @diamonds_athu and see a lot of daily shark action. This year we also collect underwater footage in this crystal clear water. Team shark thanks Inga Dehnert from @MaRHECenter for the incredible opportunity to be here.

🌟 Exciting times at the 4th workshop in Ghent, Belgium! This a fantastic opportunity to delve into the realms of Machine Learning and Reservoir Computing. A big shoutout to @imec_int and @JoniDambre for hosting this incredible event. #MLWorkshop #ReservoirComputing

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In our new @Nature paper, Darrin Schultz @conchoecia used the position of genes on chromosomes to show that ctenophores (comb jellies) not sponges are the sister-group to all other animals. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
ALT Dan Rokhsar and Darrin wrote most of the first draft of the text, and Oleg Simakov and Dan laid the foundation for looking at these conserved blocks with their work on Ancestral Linkage Groups (ALGs). Darrin and I explored ways to visualize and interpret the results.
I'm grateful to be a part of this excellent training network! Looking forward to seeing all of you soon in Gent.

From a drone or from a GoPro, baby black tip reef sharks always look great 🦈
Sorting our field data and video material is extremely inspiring! @icouzin @AugustPala Luke Costello @MPI_animalbehav
We hope to see our favourite sharks soon again!
Time to say goodbye to these beautiful fish schools and iconic shores. Thanks to all the great people that were part of this project! @icouzin @AugustPala Luke Costello @MPI_animalbehav @Luca10in2010 Inga Dehnert and the @MaRHECenter
Today is our last day in The Maldives, and we had an incredible time studying baby blacktip reef sharks preying on huge schools of fish with @icouzin, @albi_angela , Luke. Thanks to Inge, @Luca10in2010 , @MaRHECenter and all other amazing people we met. 🦈🐟🌊 @MPI_animalbehav
