In our last session of this year's graduate meeting, Luna Dudine showcased the behavioural consequences of heat waves - how high temperatures affect cognition in fish - and presented a multi-stressor framework to guide future research.

Our next session takes a deeper look into captive animal behaviour - we explored differences in individuality between wild and lab gerbils, and how cat vocalisations can be used as an indicator of pain and stress.
Great talks by @saskiasp.bsky.social and Laura Lucille Kühne!

She shared insights from her work on cognitive ecology at the human–wildlife interface - are city dwellers more flexible than their rural counterparts?
