📊 We also discuss how long-term animal tracking datasets and scheduled disturbances—from major sporting events to recurrent changes in recreation—create opportunities to test these ideas empirically.

🐟 When do sand goby fathers eat their own offspring? 😱

A new study finds that brood cannibalism has different correlates. What might female courtship tell males about future care?
