Our paper, based on a great idea by Dora Biro, is out now (Online Early) in Trends in Ecology and Evolution. All about animal collective behaviour. Paper can be read here!

Our eggy paper looking at non-invasive techniques for studying twitching in bird embryos has been accepted in Physiological and Biochemical Zoology. Hopefully a useful methods paper for many. Congratulations first author Andrea Pollard at the RVC.

New paper published in Physiological and Biochemical Zoology – lots of logger data, lots of authors. Looking at heart rate patterns between mammals and birds, and whether any uniformity exists between them. You can read the paper here!
