Wildlife in the city! Together with @dzg-evol.bsky.social, we are launching a special issue on "Wildlife in Urban Spaces – Adaptations and Human Perceptions” in the journal Ethology! You can find further details here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...

Great conversations today at our discussion round on perspectives in academia! Thanks to everyone who shared their insights and experiences. #gradmeet25

Our last session of the day is all about the socials — structure, interactions, and information! From relationship quality in ravens to cooperative behaviour in vampire bats 🐦🐒🦇 @sofiaepsilva.bsky.social #gradmeet25

Our final session focused again on methodologies 🧩 — with exciting applications from form-based approaches to assess chimpanzee gestures to facial action coding in rabbits 🐒🐇 @chiarazulberti.bsky.social #gradmeet25

Kicking off day 3 of #GradMeet25 with more talks on sociality — linking it to dispersal, cognition, and endocrinology! From social dispersal in burying beetles to hormonal changes in cheetahs 🐘🐅🦀🪲 @paulhuber.bsky.social @carolin-schlarb.bsky.social @robotowilliam.bsky.social

📢 Mark your calendars for the Joint Graduate Meeting 2026, sponsored by @ethoges.bsky.social and the German Zoological Society (DZG)! Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to showcase your research & network with peers! 📆 30.09. - 02.10.2026 🌍 @uni-muenster.de Abstract submission will open soon.

We’re really enjoying the #gradmeet25 of the @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social so far! It’s already been two days of learning about cool behaviors in various animals🦇🐒🐜 🕷️I’m super excited that I also got to share my own work on the effects of differential prey availability on Pisaura mirabilis females!🕷️

Congrats to the winners of the best poster and best talk of the #gradmeeg25. But all the contributions were really stunning!! @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social @denisebe.bsky.social
