A fantastic reminder to use museum collections @mherberstein.bsky.social we have a primary school resource. Pupils can use this resource to make careful observations of animals. Published with the support of Manchester museum. You can download it for free here: www.tes.com/teaching-res... #ECBB2026

#ECBB2026 Opening the afternoon sessions on Day 3 is @mherberstein.bsky.social with her talk titled The evolution of deception: ant mimicry in spiders and the power of museum collections.

Great talks this morning at #ecbb2026 at our symposium on evolution and behavior around #sociallytransferredmaterials @socialtransfernet.bsky.social @elvarobinson.bsky.social @arthurmatte.bsky.social Kat Bebbington and Francisco Ruiz-Raya

Great to see so many ECRs staying behind and chatting with some of the keynotes from the session: From minds to populations: functional links in coexistence in the Anthropocene 💚 @asab.org #ECBB2026

I really love
@nishantkumar.bsky.social's work on urban kites. It’s remarkable to think of human culture shaping 90% of the diet of an animal … and what 500 truckloads of waste can do to shape migration and congregation … #ECBB2026

@asab.org in action! 📷🤳 #ECBB2026

Black-eared kites 🐦‍⬛ appear to prefer snatching meat from the jaws of a dog 🐕 rather than off a polythene sheet on the ground... What's up with that?! 😂 @nishantkumar.bsky.social @asab.org #ECBB2026

Not only was he chairing the session, but he also gave a great final talk about his long-term research on black-eared kites 🐦‍⬛and how anthropogenic influences are impacting their behaviour @nishantkumar.bsky.social @asab.org #ECBB2026

#ECBB2026 @nishantkumar.bsky.social with some amazing works on black-eared kites and rapid environmental change to close our symposium From minds to populations: functional links in coexistence in the Anthropocene

#ECBB2026 Jiaqing Cai staying on Artificial Light and specifically how artificial light at night alters earthworm behaviour and soil processes

#ECBB2026 staying in the spotlight, we had @gregoryeckhartt.bsky.social sharing his works on how streetlights may decrease predation of ground-based insects

#ECBB2026 Christian Rutz in his talk Using animal-tracking data to investigate human–wildlife interactions and promote sustainable coexistence asking the crucial question, "Why do humans find it so difficult to coexist with wildlife?"

💚 Anna Nekaris @queenfireface.bsky.social, EiC of Folia Primatologica, opening the 3rd day of the @ecbb2026.bsky.social #ECBB2026.

#ECBB2026 Are all snaps equal? Characterising species-specific acoustic behaviour in coral reef snapping shrimp delivered by Hannah Gower

#ECBB2026 Symposium 5 Social transfers and
socially transferred materials in a
changing world joined by @adriatica.bsky.social and her talk on Inverse lactation: larval secretions control reproductive division of labour in ants

If you're wearing anything with an animal on it then we want to see you!! Come and visit the @asabeducation.bsky.social @asab.org desk in the Science Centre by the revolving door! We'd 💚 to be able to fill this board before the end of the conference! 🦊🐟🐺🦜🐼🐻🦀🪲🐙🕷️🪸🐛🐵 #ECBB2026

#ECBB2026 Across the LAB this morning, Dan-Eric Nilsson is sharing his works on Multiple roles of photoreception cause
multiple threats to animal life on earth as part of Symposium 8: In the spotlight: impacts of artificial light at night on invertebrate behaviour

#ECBB2026 Shout out to Angela's anonymous team member for their excellent dedication to studying wildlife responses to tiger presence

#ECBB2026 Angela Dassow opens our symposium on Leveraging new bioaccoustics advances for behaviour-
informed conservation with her talk: Applications of real-time AI for conservation and human-wildlife coexistence

Another one from Tim Caro's plenary! Who has the best vision?
