The first empirical paper from
@themanybirds.bsky.social is out in @PLOSBiology ! 🎉 doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio… Thanks to our amazing collaborators, we tested neophobia in 130+ species across 25 taxonomic orders!🕊️🦜🐓🦚🦉🦆🐦🐧🦅🦃

So excited that our first major empirical @TheManyBirds paper is now out in @PLOSBiology! Leading this big team science project, with our excellent core leadership team, is a labour of love for me, delighted to see our hard work over the past 4 years has reached this point!

This landmark collaboration united 129 researchers from 82 institutions across 24 countries 🌎
The #ManyBirds Project shows how open, global science can uncover the ecological drivers of behaviour & evolution, complementing critical single-lab work.

Do you study behavior in one or more species? Then you could contribute data to the large-scale ManyManys 1 study on reversal learning across taxa! Join our open webinar series to learn how to get involved in Big Team Comparative Cognition! Register here: forms.gle/9VMgoXP4XmqUbvWg9
ALT Reversal learning with humans and non-human primates.
ALT Reversal learning with ungulates, rodents, fishes, and marine invertebrates.
ALT Reversal learning with birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
A reminder about our OPEN CALL for submission of potential future ManyBirds studies: forms.gle/Qk4hZ6N6DxQBEt28A. Please see link for all info on the process and planned review criteria. Deadline for submission is 31 May 2025. We welcome new ManyBirds collaborators to future studies!
