Up to now I thought only smarter insects like wasps (Tibbetts et al. 2020 sciencedirect.com/science/arti ) could remember who won or lost battles and act submissive or aggressively, accordingly:

"Male eavesdroppers were then less likely to attack observed contest winners than males without social information."

Interestingly, males don't care that females observe them while they fight, and females don't care at all:

"Female eavesdroppers did not elicit any change in the aggression of the two males, and female eavesdroppers did not use social information to inform their mating decisions."

Sacha Engelhardt gave a great talk on reciprocal cooperation in norway rats. Rats help who helped them before but do not preferentially help kin.

Amazingly useful overview of Integrated Assessment Models by Carbon Brief (long read).

Diverse approaches, history, (questionable) underlying assumptions, issues, pretty much everything you want in an overview

So what are we going to do about human and ? Some needed!

Tx for sharing @daniel_huppmann!

Here for help 😌
