Our paper "Epidemiology and risk factors for endoparasite infection in subtropical feral cattle in Hong Kong" is now available in open access at the International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife 😃

I have moved to Bluesky 🙄
if you have done the same or are planning too, lets keep in touch @tania-perroux.bsky.social
see you there 😃

Our new feral cattle behaviour paper “Fighting and friendship: sociodemographic factors and provisioning affect feral cattle behaviour” is now available open access online at #AnimalBehaviourJournal @asab_org

Higher-ranking animals performed more affiliation and had more affiliative partners, with males directing affiliation preferentially towards females. Dominance, sex, group size and provisioning all affected aggression, with provisioned animals receiving more aggression

Sex and body condition had limited impact on endoparasite infection and mostly impacted nematode infections. Provisioning and herd size were important risk factors, showing contrasting impacts on endoparasite infections at genus level.

Hey everyone! 🦇🦇
Another bat paper submitted ! More about the larynx in bats and its uncommon anatomical features. We also discuss potential implication in vocalisation and nasal echolocation in evolutionary context.
You can find our preprint here:

Very cool finding of otters close to Lantau. I'll be giving a public seminar on Hong Kong's otters next month (Feb 25) at @hku_science - do please join if you want to learn more about these fascinating animals scifac.hku.hk/events/science…
Kadoorie Farm has found that Eurasian otters have returned to Hong Kong waters after the species was thought extinct in the region since the 1960s.
Genetic testing on faeces samples found in The Brothers Marine Park have been confirmed to be from Eurasian otters.

Understanding the difference between Standard Deviation (SD) and Standard Error (SE) is crucial for accurate data interpretation. SD measures the variability within your data, indicating how spread out the individual data points are from the mean.
In contrast, SE measures the uncertainty around the sample mean as an estimate of the population mean. It reflects the precision of the mean, with SE decreasing as the sample size increases, making your estimate more reliable.
The relationship between SD and SE is given by the formula: SE = SD / √(sample size). While SD remains relatively constant with larger samples, SE diminishes, highlighting the reduced uncertainty in the mean estimate.
A common mistake in research is using the “±” notation without specifying whether it refers to SD or SE, leading to potential misinterpretation of the data. Clear distinction is essential for transparency and accuracy in reporting.
Key Takeaways:
• Use SD to describe data variability.
• Use SE to indicate the precision of the mean.
• Always specify which measure you are reporting.

📢 Ey, ey, ey! New paper out ! 📢
Do expressive interjections have similar vowel signatures across languages? Can they be traced back to non-linguistic vocalisations?

📢Breaking news: The banteng (Bos javanicus), a charismatic species of wild cattle native to Southeast Asia, have been up-listed from Endangered to Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™.

Hi! Maybe it is just a translation error and not a term-misconception. They are Brazilians, their native language is not English. Similar stuff happens when English speakers try to communicate in Spanish. They make mistakes. Reviewers should keep eyes open to prevent those errors

Looking for job opportunities to start after March2025. My current research project will be over then. I'm a field ecologist with extensive experience studying large herbivores in natural and human-modified environments. #ecology #wildlife #conservation #postdoc #ResearchJob
I'll always be thankful that @gmw_hodgson and I started our PhDs together! So many hours spent together watching cattle on field 🐂🐂😅 and so many more to come doing stats together 😉
