New preprint! Comments welcome: Investigating role of non-helpers in group-living thrips. Some group members "help" repair nests, but others do not. What are the non-helpers doing?

Up to now I thought only smarter insects like wasps (Tibbetts et al. 2020 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982220307405 ) 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. #behaviour2023 #rat #behaviour #behavior

Great plenary talk by Devi Stuart-Fox on how #behaviour can affect the effects of #iridescence or #NearInfraRed light on the perception of animals. Lots of cools ideas and #hypoteses tested. #Behaviour2023

An #ethical #assessment of the use of old and new #methods to study #sociality in #wild #animals
"Review of the current trends in field animal #behaviour #research, with a focus on studies on sociality, and investigation of the forms under which such practices can impact animals, with a particular focus on the notions of #disturbance and #invasiveness."

@larysar this is fascinating! I have been reading #DamonCentola's work with great interest, "How #behaviour spreads", the characteristics of #socialnetworks, short & long links, elements of competition... It seems obvious to me there's a lack of initiatives applying that knowledge to #climateaction... exchanges of ideas/experience welcome!

Amazingly useful overview of Integrated Assessment Models #IAM 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 #modelling human #behaviour and #PolicySupport? Some #EnvironmentalPsychology needed!
Tx for sharing @daniel_huppmann!

Dear friends of criminal toddlers,
I still regret the normal development of #independence as a #toddler. I stomped on a butterfly. I have been in #trauma ever since. For this reason is it time to crowd fund my new toddler harness with in built 'tasering/shock!’ function and app controlled severity? 🤪
Those with more time for better #positive reinforcement #parenting, may prefer the wireless locked head helmet which produces a #serotonin boost for positive #behaviour. 😎
Here for help 😌
