Why do some snakes trigger fear while others appear harmless or even beautiful? New research examines how snake morphology modulates human emotional and aesthetic responses across ecological and cultural contexts: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #ProcB #cognition

The Eurasian dotterel is a sex-role reversed bird, in which males typically perform all incubation and offspring. New research in #ProcB found that females of the socially polyandrous shorebird visit multiple breeding sites within a single season: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... Image: Terje Lislevand

A longitudinal study tracked wild meerkat pups into sub-adulthood and found that cognitive abilities show distinct developmental trajectories: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... @sofiaforss.bsky.social #ProcB #cognition Image credit: Sara Joachim Mebe

The very first paper of my PhD is now available in #ProcB !
By combining an extensive dataset, we show that vertebral morphology is linked to cetacean ecology and played a key role in their evolution! 🐬🐋
