New mechanism for magnetic sensing in pigeons 🧭
Homing pigeons use magnetically responsive immune cells in their livers to sense Earth’s magnetic field, helping them navigate without visual cues like the sun.

It takes decades to see how climatic cycles interact with the social dynamics of animal societies.
Now a 33-year dataset of 12 capuchin groups + satellite environmental data has an answer.

Post Peer-review pub out from my former PhD student @oddjacobson.bsky.social dissertation. Im proud of their integration of longitudinal demographic, behavioral, historical, remote sensing, climate & movement data under a causal inference framework using hierarchical social relations models & CTMM
It's taken a while, but I have finally discovered the secrets of academic success. Find a great postdoc and ask your friends to share their data. And voila, new insights about social structure in papionin primates. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
As climate change intensifies, scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about how animals will cope with a more unpredictable world. One way to gain insight is by studying how animals have alrea...
