In this video, starring a Cetti's warbler, I compare the advantages of being resident against being a migrant and the need to consider the geometric mean. 7 seconds too long to add directly to twitter -n so here is the YouTube link.

[Thread] I will now explain our new study about people cooperating with honeyguide birds, using Lego and graphs (and Lego graphs). This study was a great team effort: @honeyguiding @honeyguide @jesvanderwal @jesslund01 + many not on Twitter.

In new research done with @DybleMark Nik Chaudhary @davidabann and @DenizSalali we analyse patterns of physical activity amongst BaYaka children in comparison to US and UK children.
What did we see?

Delighted to say I passed my Viva with minor corrections. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my supervisors @davidabann @DenizSalali and @DybleMark for their unending support throughout my PhD. Thanks too to my examiners @EvanSluijs and @danny_longman for a great discussion!

🎉 New article out (and first from my PhD)🎉
In this paper, we examined differences in the distribution of physical activity between girls and boys in the multi-national ICAD dataset 🧵doi.org/10.1186/s12966-023-0…

Many thanks to @GMERC_TZ & @UCL_evoanthro UG and PG students for a fabulous field primatology module. So glad the local (human AND non-human) primate population could accommodate us all! Safe travels to all!

🎉 New Preprint! 🎉
(And 1st as 1st author)
In work done alongside @davidabann @DybleMark @DenizSalali and #ICAD collaborators we saw that in a multinational sample of 15k children, while boys did more activity on average, they were more unequal. [1/3]

New paper out today with Tim Clutton-Brock: “Turnover in male dominance offsets the positive effect of polygyny on within-group relatedness”
academic.oup.com/beheco/adva… (1/5)
In this new paper, we model the effect of male skew and turnover in male dominance on relatedness and show that high turnover in skew can offset (and in some cases completely cancel out) the positive effect of polygyny on within-group relatedness (4/5)
