Tucson.com: U of A researchers launch open-access study on animal behaviors. “University of Arizona researchers have launched what they believe to be the first open-access catalog of animal traditions in order to explore how social learning both shapes and is shaped by human-driven environmental change. The database will comprise a collection of vocal communications, mating displays, play and […]

Hello, #FediVerse! I am new here and I am looking for my people so that I can follow them and maybe even have conversations. Are you my people?

I’m migrating from Instagram, where I did more lurking than posting. It’s taking me some time to find my way around over here.

I’m particularly interested in finding #Horse people, and people who are into #ClickerTraining, #PositiveReinforcement, and #AnimalBehavior. I worked in #AnimalRescue for five years, but man is that a hard, draining career. I am currently recovering from pretty severe burnout. But I still love my local #AnimalShelter.

All of my horses are #Adopted because hey, I was in a position to provide them a home when they needed it. No shame if that’s not how you got your horse(s) - I just find that if I think too hard about looking for another herd member, the universe provides. So I try not to think that too hard, because the ones I have now are plenty! :P

My #horses are varied in size from a tall #Percheron to a chonky little #Haflinger, and all in their mid-twenties. They live with me at a rural #HousingCooperative and kindly allow themselves to be petted and played with by local community members in an outreach program that I started this winter. It’s still a pretty small endeavor. We’ll see where it goes. I’ll probably post about that sometimes.

I hope this reaches you, #HorseLovers and #ClickerTrainers! Also, anyone else who wants to say hi! There is a long list of other topics I may post about in my bio, so I won’t list everything in this already rather long post. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

I'm very excited about COST action Affect-Evo on animal affect, and equal parts excited and dauted to have taken on leadership of WG2, "Societal impacts of understanding animals’ affective states". Looking forward to working with social scientists, law scholars, and animal behaviour peeps.

We're still working on the website but have a logo. That means the project is official, right?

Arctic foxes fighting…and swimming?! Two different foxes rushed to the water’s edge when they saw a glaucous gull abandon its kill just offshore. The larger fox took exception to having competition. After vanquishing the smaller fox, it paced and stared in frustration for a bit, then finally took the plunge. This is unusual behavior— it was quite a treat to see it determinedly paddle 10-15m to the dead kittiwake, then turn around and push it to shore. It quickly ran off with its prize to avoid sharing.
