📄 If you teach perception, then this review from @Julie3Dharris @ScienceAnna @OccelliValeria and I would be worth a look-see 🤗 "Helping students see eye to eye: Diversifying teaching of sensation and perception in higher education" tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Very pleased that our paper on recognition abilities of barn swallows got published in @SpringerANCO! We found that swallows are really good at sanitising their nest but probably not at defending themselves against conspecific brood parasitism. @animalcog link.springer.com/article/10…

Bower structure in a tunnel-like shape, made from sticks. In front of the bower there are lots of grey stones. There is also a red plastic item and some leaves and maybe some fruit.

Fast and furious: host aggression modulates behaviour of brood parasites

Avian brood parasites pose a serious threat to hosts, substantially reducing their fitness, which selects for the evolution of host defences. A classic example of a host frontline defence is mobbin...
