It was great to be able to speak about the @asab.org virtual conferences and how they changed the accessibility of these events.
So many lessons were learnt during this process, and I hope academic societies continue to promote digital resources as part of their events.

A big thank you to staff @ACGuanacaste, and to all the students & field assistants that collected recordings of wrens over the past 17 years! Also, shout out to @LSzucki for the awesome wren drawings. Thank you @NSERC_CRSNG for funding & thank you organizers of #AnimBehav2021! 👏

6/6 Our research highlights the importance of investigating behavioural questions in ♀️ & ♂️ separately!
We recommend future research look further into why female wrens switch song types more often than males.
Thanks for checking out my #AnimBehav2021 thread! 😊

4/6 We did not find an effect of # of neighbours on males but females switched song types more often with more neighbours
Song-type switching is an aggressive signal in some species. Are ♀️ wrens using song-type switching to defend against more neighbours? 🤔

3/6 We asked "How does the # of neighbours that wrens defend their territory against affect their singing & duetting behaviour?"
We also looked at the effect of time of day & year. We used 17 years of wren recordings from Santa Rosa to answer these questions #AnimBehav2021

1/6 To begin my #AnimBehav2021 thread, I'd like to introduce you to...the Rufous-and-white Wren 🤩
This tropical species lives in the fragmented #TropicalDryForests of @ACGuanacaste #CostaRica, an imperiled ecosystem that experiences extreme dry & wet seasons.

The upcoming conference #AnimBehav2021 seems like the perfect opportunity to return to twitter after some busy busy #PhD time. Very curious and excited about it! 🥳
Maybe a specific colleague will join for some background discussion 😎 *cough* @pratikunterwegs

6/6 This spp w facultative paternal care makes prenatal & postnatal hormone adjustments. Prenatally ⬆ estradiol could prep them for paternal care once infants arrive (or reflect wt gain), but isn't associated w acute behavioral changes like androgens are. TY🙏!

4/6
☑️ Expectant male estradiol ⬆️4x ~10 days before their infants' birth! Here are 4 males' profiles. This could prep them for fatherhood.
❌ Estradiol unrelated to huddle, carry, play, groom, hold, & composite score (Total Care). No support for short-term role.

2/6 Estradiol ⬆️ maternal sensitivity. In a few spp with obligate paternal care (incl. us) it ⬆️ in expectant males. Does it also ⬆️ in facultative spp with loads of variation BEFORE infants are born? Is it associated w infant care behavior AFTER infants are born?

1/6 Are hormones involved in facultative paternal care?
Monogamous red-bellied #lemurs live in prs. Dads are in contact w infants as much as men in US & some months more than moms. But there's LOTS of variation! Dads provide 0-37% of all care across development.

In 2023, we increased representation within international communities. But engagement dropped in US and UK time zones. #InclusiveScience

does a novel feeding habit spread in wild monkeys? We combined a field experiment with Bayesian dynamic learning models and showed that monkeys used the highest payoff processing technique and displayed by higher ranked demonstrators. #AnimBehav2021
