@kokkonut.bsky.socialReposted by @animbehsociety.bsky.socialCome and work with us (the Kokkonuts) as a postdoc!

@erinsiracusa.bsky.socialReposted by @animbehsociety.bsky.socialAnimals are known to prefer kin as social partners. But non-kin bonds are surprisingly common too. So, who forms them, how stable are they & what drives them?
