This work was a team effort by co-authors @ruthjgee, @ali__wilson, and Sarah Medill. As well as founder of the @SI_Horses project, @McLoughlin_PD, and co-PI @jocelynpoissant, who, over a decade ago, had the forethought to begin hoarding handfuls of🐴💩
Fabulous PhD opp with my colleague @lauraakelley here @UniExeCEC
Interested in the role that sensory processing plays in perception of animal signals? Fully funded four-year PhD to start September 2024, deadline to apply 12th May. exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/a…
'I couldn't find anything to suggest adding or fixing - well done!' Thank you Ref 2! Constructive criticism is great of course, but we all have some days when we need to be hear stuff like this
Last couple of days to apply for this one with us. Applications for the postdoc on this same project shoudl go live about May (I just need to find time to do the HR paperwork !)

This looks like a great line up of speakers, plus Brittany in June (yes please!). I can't go, but you probably should!

*New #evolution paper* Sparrow-weaver mothers lay larger eggs when they will have more help feeding chicks. Maternal reaction norms to help are *opposite* for egg size & nestling feeding rate. Cool. But why do this? 1 of 3. Fine work @p_capi. tinyurl.com/2djsp6zd #ExeterCEC
More PhD projects - this one on maternal effects in soay sheep, a topic close to my heart! Great project, super dept, lovely supervisors, top collaborators, super city, fabulous fieldsite ... and loads of sheep! Pic of me back when I did sheepie fieldwork findaphd.com/phds/project/ne…
Really interesting PhD oppon 'social chaos' in pigs @SRUC . Aspiring behavioural ecologists that haven't clocked incredible applications to (and data from) captive populations... should have a look. Animal behaviour can be interesting AND useful too! findaphd.com/phds/project/ea…
