Nest design in birds has been assumed to be an innate ability, but they can use their experience to be more flexible than previously thought. 🪺 Usually, these studies occur in the lab, but this work is being done in the field by @libby_chaps! #ASABSpring2024

They couldn’t appear to be more different, but bees and hummingbirds have more in common than you think: They both need to visit hundreds of flowers using efficient routes 🌸 🌺 🌹 @MariaTelloRamos asks HOW 🪶#ASABwinter2023

However, many interviewees in Tanzania reported having seen honey badgers and honeyguides interact, and think that they do cooperate. The most likely scenario is that badger-honeyguide cooperation does occur but is highly localised or extremely difficult to observe, or both (4/7)
ALT The six key steps of the hypothetical badger-honeyguide cooperation. Beneath each step, we summarize the likelihood that a given step ever occurs in the wild based on available evidence and feasibility. For citations and interview responses that support these summaries, see the corresponding sections 1–6 of the main text. Illustration by Emma Wood.

Fab line up of speakers today at the symposium marking Carel ten Cate’s retirement. Great to hear the ideas, science, interdisciplinary collaborations and ongoing work he’s inspired, and feel the warmth in the room from people whose careers he’s nurtured, enabled and supported.
