Animals respond to weekday vs. weekend differences in activity in their habitat.

decreased defense of their territories during busy weekdays compared to weekends, which allowed rivals more access to their flowers.

Studies like this one (Mendiola-Islas et al 2023) are reminders of the effect that humans have on and living with or near them, even when we are simply going about our business.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but it is a problem across race, ethnicity, gender, and even language.

That said, I'm inclined to think it is a problem easier solved by decentralized entities agreeing to standardized code of conduct rather than a centralized entity attempting to enforce. Easier, although not easy. πŸ€“

Okay, time.

I'm in the middle of a weird disciplinary leap right now but might be the right name. I did my PhD at UT Austin on and social context as factors in decisions about whether to signal in singing mice, with a pretty standard perspective; currently, I'm working with and on mouse models of neurodivergence in the Grissom lab at UMN, experimenting with large scale behavioral collection.
