Humans are not the only animals that change their social lives as they age; female red deer and house sparrows become less sociable as they get older. A new special issue of @RSocPublishing #PhilTransB looks at ageing and society across the natural world: theguardian.com/science/2024…

Animals become less sociable as they age in similar way to humans, research shows

While decline in interactions is seen as negative for humans, it can have health benefits for animals

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology

After several years in the making, I am very excited to see this paper finally out. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… More on this later.

The coevolution of fungus-ant agriculture

Fungus-farming ants cultivate multiple lineages of fungi for food, but, because fungal cultivar relationships are largely unresolved, the history of fungus-ant coevolution remains poorly known. We...

We describe how octopus-fish groups can work, can malfunction, and can lead to benefits! Give it a read and don't forget to see the videos for punching, displacements, and examples of solo vs collaborative hunting!! 🐙🐠🐟 Out in @NatureEcoEvo!!

Scientists have uncovered the secrets of multispecies hunting! Octopuses & fish team up, with fish guiding the hunt and octopuses capturing hidden prey. #UniKonstanz @CBehav+@MPI_animalbehav research reveals incredible interspecies teamwork. @NatureEcoEvo t1p.de/8543w

Architectural traditions in the structures built by cooperative weaver birds

Humans cooperate to build complex structures with culture-specific architectural styles. However, they are not the only animals to build complex structures nor to have culture. We show that social...
