šØWe're hiring again, this time for a research assistant position šØ
The position is to help with a project looking at learning and social behaviour in birds along an urban gradient
Position at
@ceec-research.bsky.social
š28th June deadline
More info: shorturl.at/vBxiW
#ringing #fieldwork
Public-goods scenarios include:
#sentinel #behaviour
#intergroup #conflict
#collective #hunting
Ideas ripe for #empirical testing
#mammals #birds #fish
Work inspired by dwarf #mongooses grooming groupmates as a reward for sentinel behaviour
doi.org/10.1098/rspb...
Using game-theoretic #modelling, we show:
Inequitable #rewards drive more contributions by some but #free-riding by others
Increasing rewards promotes helping, but even more suppresses contributions
Social factors can interact to affect public-goods scenarios
doi.org/10.1098/rspb...
š¢Out now in #ProcB our NEW paper on how #reward inequity can promote production of #publicgoods and #free-riding
